Jerry Barr made longbows up until recently when he sold his business. He is in Colorado, however I don't know the model names of his bows. I think the name of his company was Thunder Mountain.

Okay, with that new information I looked in an old Kittredge book form 1961. Alan Barr was the bowyer for Apache. The 61 catalog does not list a bow shorter than 66". The models were called "White Arrow" $85.00, "Aurora Blackline" $75.00 and the "Thunderbolt" also $75.00. Hope that helps a little

I have a Thunder Mountain Lobo D/R longbow by Jerry Barr which I just got recently. It plainly states Thunder Mt and the specs on the base of the lower limb belly side. He may have stopped making bows but there are still some offered on the site of a trad archery shop on CO, Valley Traditional Archery.
