New bow at Raptor Archery( you dont have to name)
« on: November 07, 2007, 05:48:00 PM »
Well its been a long time in the process but here it finally is , the Raptor Talon.
Verticle grain bamboo sandwiched between two pieces of bamboo with nodes intact.Handle is inlayed between the sandwich with matching tip inlays. Fast flight fine. At present only available in a 64" version. Also available with a yew core.
This has been my side project for the past two years and I am very pleased with the bow. Smooth quiet and best of all quick.
Total weight of the bow is less than a pound, including string and leather handle. You guys and girls at Trad Gang are the first outside the store. to see it .

I had a few questions regarding construction so I wanted to clear this up . No glass, bamboo center core with bamboo on both the belly and back with nodes intact on both sides as well.
The handle is in the middle and tip inlays to match.
I will work on getting a full draw pic loaded.
