Now for string silencers. I guess you could twist in a couple of gophers.

LOL. :D

That thing is an anti-tank weapon!

I can just see the outfitters add now, "The antique russian tank.. the new big game animal!" Hey Jeremy, can you make some depleated uranium trade points?? LoL!

That is an awesome bow.

Man JD I was just wondering what you're going to do with the righty. I'm probably naive enough to try and shoot it. I know I can pull 100 easier than I should, you should of seen the guy when I walked into his booth at a shoot saw a used 100# widow PLX and pulled it back just to see what it was like.

JD send me a PM with how much you want for it just for kicks. It would be cool to have Marlon's right handed brother instead of the little sister

All I can say is WOW awesome all the way around. I will be breaking out laughing about the gophers for a few days though. I be thinking woodchucks though, much tougher hide

I called JD the morning he cut the shelf on wrong side...he didn't have much good to say! "[dntthnk]"

I tried to explain to him it was better that he incorrectly cut it right handed (and that was the incorrect side) than left handed...many more right handed people in this world that might want to give it a try.

Would be cool to see some pics of the arrow penetration on the target. I mean, even with my 70# longbow, I'm forced to pull arrows out of the tree after each shot, even at long ranges. And my target is made of 5 layers of rockwool PLUS a polystyrene block :D

I used to shoot bows that heavy, but the arrows were going so fast they cauterized the wounds and there were no blood trails!!!!! So I dropped back down to 60#'s.

arrows weighing less than 1000 grains burn up in flight..............

I just dont know what to say. 150#????..Great job on the bow

straitera · « **Reply #50 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:09:00 PM »

Well done JD. That's another brute Marlon! You going after another record with it? I could dig a vid of you shooting it. How long is it?

jcar315 · « **Reply #51 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:26:00 PM »

Congrats to you both on an awesome bow build. Am I the only one who caught the "290# training bow?" Training bow????? Not to be dumb but how do you string it? I saw a cool show on Discovery Channel (I think) where they had some dudes in England shooting old style longbows like they used back in the day. 100+# and it was something to see how they used their whole bodies to draw and shoot. More pics of the bow in action!!!

Bill Tell · « **Reply #52 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:33:00 PM »

So this just begs the question what it the heaviest bow ever made?

marlon · « **Reply #53 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:41:00 PM »

I think my friend steve gaurndner made a bow for a show called davinche code 5000# to heavy for me. Marlon

Molson · « **Reply #54 on:** May 26, 2009, 08:15:00 PM »

That is an awesome bow! Great job!!

wihill · « **Reply #55 on:** May 26, 2009, 08:17:00 PM »

I would think that contacting the local air traffic controller would be a requirement before launching an arrow from that sucker.

Fighter planes would be scrambling right and left...

I saw the bow in Jim's shop, and the reinforcements on the tips are rediculous! He reinforced everything he could and he is not kidding that the limbs are about 1/2" thick. It is a heck of a weapon! I just went out and shot my 57# whisperstik and thought I was manly, but whoa! I am girly man. The color of that bow won't matter if you hunt because you can shoot at them in the next county.

Marlon: How big a boy are Ya??? You got a chain suit to wear with that baby? If anything ever lets loose and gets ya we'll be sending flowers I'm afraid. I'd love to see pictures of you in action with that bow. I couldn't even begin to draw that bow back, my hats off to you Sir!

Brent, I know where there is two ferrets that need a home - string leaches???
