Anyone here know who makes a wide-limbed flat bow of high poundage for a draw over 28 inches?

Ask this question on the Bowyers Bench forum and you will get lots of response. Lots of good bow makers there.

Don't know what you consider high poundage, but Chek-Mate makes the Thunderbird, and it's a fantastic one.  Very smooth with no handshock.   www.Recurves.com

Have you checked out Scorpion Bows ?  They're a sponsor here and have some neat lookin' bows.  I'd like to hear some first hand opinions on these bows.  I'm pretty interested in a couple of 'em.  Good luck.....

Northern Mist has a flatbow design called the Ottawa.

It will be my next bow from Steve, in 62".

Most likly 70lbs@28.  Check them out I think you will be impressed.

I just got a chek-mate thumderbird from another tradganger, really nice bow.  its specs are 60" 65@28 and I'm drawing it #71 @ 30".  its suprisingly smooth all the way out to 30" and really flings an arrow.  i don't think there is a better "bang for your buck" bow out there than chek-mate bows.

That bow looks like a Holmgaarde type bow.  There is a build along on the Bowyers Bench.  Bill

Do you mean the Baraga? The Ottawa is a recurve according to the site.
It looks nice though, I want 70lb at least too.
