yea.. i wish this was my design/bow.
this is a beauty made by Mark Daniel.Mark Daniel of Mississippi fame!! :D
Mark had helped me a lot when i was working on my short, 1 piece static tip recurve- with advice, dimensions and even plans and drawings which he posted up.
that when he showed a bit of an interest in my bow, and said he might like to try one- i jumped at sending him all the plans and specs, but also offered to build him a blank, and send it down to him to finish, the way he wanted.
instead of having to build the form etc.
he wanted some special woods in the bow- (i did offer him yew!!) so he said he would send some up.
well the package arrived, with permission lam wood, riser blocks, glass- and a little something extra :eek:
i was shocked!! and mad!!! that he had sent all the materials, as building the bow for him was the least i could do- any way- so now its gonna be a finished bow heading his way!!
these are my thoughts on it:
i love the bow- shoots fast, and accurate- if you do everything right. not saying it is a sensitive bow. but i can be inclined to pluck the string if i havent shot in a while- and this bow will send them about 6" wide at 20 yards if i do. but if i do my job, she shoots straight and fast!!
it is very smooth to draw- no stack at my ape like long draw- 31.5".
super smooth to draw!!!!
one thing about 3 pieces, is that i usually find them quite heavy- i know that it surely helps with stability and accuracy- but i hate lugging them around in the bush all day- but this one is so light, slim and sexy- i WILL have no problem carrying this one all day!!( this bow is gonna pull chicks!!)
did i mention it was REEEAALLY smooth to draw!
no hand shock- need some silencers on it - not super noisy- but will need to be quited down a bit for hunting- some cat whiskers!!
the quality of workmanship is amazing- i love the colour combos, and the tips in themselves are a work of art- the little phenolic overlays at the nock sides- the string grooves, the bridges- the lams on the overlay and the heavily trapped back in the tips to reduce weight- all add up to a perfect combo in my mind- deep static hooks- that are stable and well mannered.
i really like this bow- gonna be shooting it a lot. its also the only 3 piece i have.
seen this style of full draw pic on here- so my first try at it- really like the result
