Well after not having a brand new bow for about 12 years, I decided to get me a new bow. When I was living in MO, I went to a UBM banquet a couple of years ago and had the pleasure of meeting Mike Dunnaway of Wild Horse Creek Bows. After talking with him I shot one of his bows, it was a Kestrel hybrid longbow. It was 54" and 57@28. It was hitting where I was looking and a very fine bow. After that I told myself I had to get one.
About a month or so ago, when going thru some paperwork after my move up to Alaska, I found the info again and called Mike. He had just taken a 56" Kestrel off the forms. It was his first one in that length. He sent me some pics and I knew I had to have it. So after some convesations with him, we made the deal.
It's 56" 60@28, with waterfall bubinga veneers, sassafras core and an ebony handle material. With beavertail wrap and strike plate. Absolutely a gorgeous bow.
I've been shooting it in the apartment, not wanting to search snow banks for the arrows. Its a hard hitter and shoots where I'm looking. Last night I was shooting and had at least 3 groupings that would cover a quarter. Gotta start shooting different bulls on the target face or I will be in the market for new arrows.
Sorry no pics right now. Only have internet at work and can't access photobucket. I'll try to get some up soon.
If anyone is looking for a hybrid at a reasonable price and great guy to deal with get with Mike. PM me if you want his contact info.
Nick
