[Hard Times]

Hello, I'm new to Tradgang and proud to be here. I'm looking for info. on a bowyer by the name of Rocky Miller. I'm in the process of purchasing a longbow made by him and am curiuos to know any pros/cons.  Thanks

Traditional Bowyers of America - Dan Bertalan - 1989

Too lazy to go down to my shop and dig out the book, but think he's in there.

I had one of his short, straight end bows once upon a time.  It shot pretty good.  Kinda' wish I still had it.  At least I think it was one of his bows.  Been a few years and too many bows ago.

I'll look it up, thanks.

Yep Cliff, Traditional Bowyers of America page 283. Rocky Miller owner of Heritage Archery and noted for his Predator T/D Recurves and Bridger Mountain Longbows, "both designed for shooting heavy arrows and putting down game". Very Nice Bows!!!
Lots of new bowyers since this was written. Wish Mr. Bertalan would do a follow up to this finely written book.

My son and I have some of his longbows.  Great bows and a great bowyer.  Too bad he packed it in.

I just recieved confirmation that mine shipped, I'm looking forward to shooting it. Seems like a nice piece of history.

I understand Rocky, moved to New Mexico and is a fly fishing guide (not confirmed).
