ok, according to jims brochure the only difference in regards to the profile and layout between the classic and the mt hunter is the riser and grip.

the classic has "multilayered handle underlays allow for a custom fit dished grip while maintianing the integrity of the belly glass".

the mt hunter is a "straight handled version of the classic".

I own a green moutain longbow,it's the classic model 64", 50#@28", left hand,walnut handle and curly maple limbs.if I remember well,in his brochure, it's said that it was the fancier model with a dished grip.It's my very first bow and I even went in vermont to pick it up myself and remember Jim as good and kind guy.I think he was a carpenter... not sure.

ti-guy , doesw he still build bows? mark post pic somebody!

[1/4 away]

Jim stopped building bows several years ago.

[dragonheart]

The 2 bows I have coming are mountain longbow model, 66".  One is red cedar under clear glass for the limbs with a darker wood handle.  The other is bamboo back with yew belly (clear glass)and darker wood handle.  Both have straight grips.  Both are supposed to be in new condition.  I will post pictures when I get the longbows.

Dragonheart,
  The Mountain Hunter shot like a dream, just where I looked. Just liked the Stingray even better. When I shot heavy arrows (Forgewoods) out of the Hunter, the little handshock there was disappeared. That can be simple physics though. I think you'll be real pleased. Best regards, Todd

I think I still have his brochure,, if you want I can make a copy and send it to you if you PM me your address..  but if I remember right he had 4 models ranging from hill style to medium reflex deflex.  

I have never heard 1 bad think about those bows.

Why did he stop making them ??? marco

[dragonheart]

Thanks for the photos!!  Mild R/D, just looks smooth on the draw.

[ti-guy]

It is smooth to draw and shoot.This is my first trad bow and it's whit this one I got my first trad kill(whitetail doe).I remember when I started shooting it(12 or 14 years ago).One night, at the shooting club,I've met another trad shooter who was making his own gears and bows(Hill style)and he said to me that my bow was'nt so trad because it was a r/d ???For a beginner I was all confused!!

[ti-guy]

At the time I bought the bow Jim Duclos was(I think) going thru a divorce and thinking about re-orienting his career.That might be a reason for stopping his production.(Don't wanna speak for him now!) Good shootin' to all!
