Big River longbow fans

[Wudstix]

I have a Big River 21st Century clone longbow that started out 62", but ended up 60" to get the weight I wanted.  Couldn't be more pleased with this longbow.  Has a slight locator grip and moves heavy wood arrows out very well, and is my main bow at the moment.  I understand John is making few bows now and am glad I have two; this longbow and a heavy recurve.  The curve looks to be loosely patterned after a Kodiak 60" with a pistol style grip that also shoots heavy woodies very well.  I'm certain there are a few Big River fans out there.

John Makes a great bow.  I had one of his long bows for a fews years and took a nice buck with it after returning to hunting with traditional gear.

I like John's bows. They are easy to point and shoot

 Never had one, but I have shot several of CyclicRivers, he had a couple of longbow and a t/d recurve, really good shooters that you rarely see come up on the classifieds !!

My first ASL was a Big River. It was a good shooter and I shot a big bodied 3 point buck with

I might have 1... or 20

John is a classic.  Got my first "custom" bow in a recurve, circa 1996, he tried to talk me out of that much weight.  Came through with a mid-60's# draw weight that still hunts.

I have one of John's first Kodiak models, He made it for Lamont Granger, has Lamont's name on it. 50# 60" left handed, I think it's the only 60" he made all others  were 62". Shoots fast and where I'm looking!

Didn't know that he is still making bows...according to Wudstix.... I have two of John's longbows, great bows for sure.

[Wudstix]

Don't know that he is making bows for sale, just an occasional one to keep active.  Along with his other duties.

Here's a picture of the "old rascal". He's in the red checkered shirt and standing behind him is his life-long Buddy Ernie Appel. Ernie left us a few years back.

I have one of his 21st century style bows and somehow lost one of the tip overlays. Does anyone know if he's around to do repairs? I'll  try to enclose a photo. Thanks!
