Well, Jerry and I couldn't join the boys for the NJ winter bow get together today. A few months back we had ordered a pair of new longbows that were now ready to be picked up. Time for a little road trip. I woke up to a lite snow and a forecast of 8"-10" of snow. Jerry arrived around 7am and we were off. The roads were a bit slippery but we didn't care we needed to get our bows. Crossing into PA via the Delaware Water Gap the young man in the car next to us found out just how slippery it really was when he tried passing us on the right. First he slammed the wall on the right then spun out in front of us into the median completing his 180 facing us as we both slid to a stop. After a quick check to make sure no one was hurt too bad in the other vehicle we made a 911 call and got back to our journey. Thank the Lord no one was seriously hurt and Jerry and I escaped unscathed. About 3 hours later we arrived at the home of Jim Martin and Mahantango Custom Bows!
This is what I came home with.
I sure love the look of yew.
Jim sandwiched two lams of bamboo between the yew.

and on the tips.
70" ntn 57#'s @ 29" I could not be more pleased with this latest acquisition. Draws smooth as silk and spits arrows like no ones business. Thank you Jim for once again making me a longbow that I'm super proud to own. Hopefully Jerry will post some pics of his. And maybe tomorrow I can get my wife to take a few pics of me shooting it and a few of the strung profile.
