I have two of them. Both are LH, one is 51#@28" and the other is 61#@28". They are very nice bows. Quiet, no handshock, fast enough for me and look really good.

The grip seems to be more longbow like then my Howatt Hunter recurve. If you are real used to the Hunter stlye grip, it might take a little getting used to. The riser is less massive then some recurves and the limbs are fairly narrow. It seems to be a nice blend of longbow and recurve features.  

Lyndell Beene (of Lakeside Archery) is really good to work with. My first bow developed a slight crack in the riser and he made a brand new one for me at no charge, in about 3 weeks.

Thanks.I ordered one .we'll see how it goes.Quite a sale he's having for the Holidays! 50% off. ! I figured I couldn't really go wrong.I even sent a few extra bucks because it was so cheap.

Did you get your bow yet? Does it meet your expectations? I ordered one for a gift for a friend and I was very pleased with it when it arrived.

yes ,i ordered a blank from Lindell.i don't have a decent shop so I had him rough out the riser similiar to yours. I hand filed and shaped it alittle differently than yours.Mine is Bocote and Tiger maple.It's coming along nicely.i sent a piece of Tiger striped Maple to him to use in my blank.i should have it ready to shoot and completed in a week or less.i'll post some pictures when done.you'll see the same basic lines but i hollowed out  the riser a bit more.
  Oh yeah,I was very please with both the service and the workmanship in the blank.

What weight is your bow?

[str8sh2ter]

I haven't scaled it since finishing .i don't have one.lindell said the blank was 51# at 28" before finishing.He figured around 50# when completed.It's a 60" bow .Thanks

[str8sh2ter]

I shot 10-15 arrows through it last night.I shoots real good,quite quick.I was shooting at 12 yds. because of the snow .It grouped good and i hit where I was aiming pretty well.
  I think i forgot to mention that it has bamboo limb cores.Bocotew veneers on back and Tiger Maple on belly.
