On the valued recommendation of a few of my traditional bowhunting buddies who own a Leon Stewart bow, a short while back I took a trip to visit Leon Stewart at his shop in eastern PA. As a visitor to his shop I found Mr. Stewart to be just as gracious and helpful in person as he comes across over the phone. Before I left his shop that day I ended up placing an order for two of his LS Slammer Longbows; One for me, and one as a surprise gift for my wife. For anyone considering a LS bow I can tell you that it was an absolute pleasure doing business with the man and we are just thrilled with our new bows. Here are the particulars.
My bow (on left and top in photos): 66” Slammer Longbow, 52#s at 28”; the riser is osage and bocote; the limb cores are bamboo and carbon; the belly and face are osage. The handle is wrapped in brown buckskin leather. Satin finish.
My wife’s bow (on right and bottom in photos): 60” Slammer Longbow, 34#s at 24”; the riser is osage and cocobolo with birds eye maple fadeouts. The belly is pacific yew and the face is african tulip wood. Handle is wrapped in brown buckskin leather. Satin finish.
