I was going to put this on the Hill Post but I thought more folks would see it here. My reverse handle ASL longbow came today......backset, 66", 42# @ 29", Osage riser, bamboo cores and plain brown glass with Osage tips. After some shooting and a few minor tuning tweeks I started to get serious shooting this bow. It is smooth right past 29" and quick for only 42#. My first 3 shots were in the 8 ring of my 3-D tatget from 25 yards......   :eek:   ......that's a good sign.....lol.

Thanks Ken......   :notworthy:   As the photos show, really nothing fancy, but the fit and finish is very good. I have shot cedars and 2016 Alum. from it so far and it's not to fussy. I have to try my carbons shortly to see how they fly. So far this bow and I seem to get along just fine. More to come...........   :cool:

That's cool Ron.

Does it have a shelf on both sides?  As a lefty, I like anything that's universal!

Will you hunt with that this fall?

I like it. Odd, not too long ago, I had no interest in a forward handle bow. That is, until I shot one. I was impressed with how it shot, and now am kicking around a costly idea...

I have several reverse handle bows, I like the feel. Took it out after supper to try some carbons.....45/60 CE, they also flew very well. So I can get cedars, 2016's and carbons to shoot from this bow, right or left handed......I'm impressed.
