pronghorn bow
« on: October 05, 2016, 07:21:00 PM »
I am thinking of getting a pronghorn 1 piece long bow.  I had a 3 piece some yeas back and killed a few deer with it.  it was a 64" but I have started liking 62" for tree stand and ground blind hunting. anyone bought a bow from herb lately?  I assume he still makes them

Yes; he is still building bows. I just talk to him today. He is doing good and still building bows. I actually ordered a 3pc from him today. I already have a 64 inch 3pc. This time I went with 62 inch. Give him a call. He has a ton knowledge and a pleasure to talk to.

Yes Herb is still building bows. I'd venture to bet this is a good time to call and order a bow too.

The red elm limbs are really sharp looking. The pictures just don't do it justice.    


Also Mr. Herb feels that the red elm makes the best longbow limb.

Hope these help. I don't have any one piece pictures.
He told me yesterday; I would be looking at 4-5 weeks on my new bow. And just like you; I am going to a 62 inch.

I have several 1pc Pronghorns at our farm in Aiken.  I'll be back after I hunt Iowa Nov 4-15th...probably the 3rd week in Nov.  You're welcome to come and try them.  I also have several 3pc Pronghorns.  I like the 1pc better...tippit

Tippit; do you think the one piece shoots better than the 3pc? How do they compare?

Herb would tell you the one price stores and delivers energy better. Glad you are getting one you will love it.

I think a one piece bow is smoother than a 3 piece bow.  I can't tell the difference between a one piece and a two piece bowbolt though.  That just me as a lot of shooters prefer 3 piece bows.  

Benji,
You're still invited to drop down to Aiken this fall or winter for some shooting...Jeff

Congratulations. You will love either of them. Have you decided on the woods yet? If you like the one piece bows the best; go with it. What length ?

for what its worth (and it aint worth much)  I am not a 3 piece man, most 3 piece bows I have felt were a bit too heavy for my taste.   But the 3p pronghorns are some of the lightest and slimmest 3p I have shot.  I was instantly a fan after putting a handful of arrows down range.
