Firefly Bows - setting records in Norway!
« on: July 06, 2010, 01:30:00 PM »
Those of you who are Firefly fans know what shooters they are.  Most of us tend to think of them as hunting bows, but we received a recent e-mail from Norway that reminds us they can also punch paper with the best of them!

 Hi Jim, ... I`m glad to inform you that the Firefly longbows you have sold me have been involved in several national records here in Norway, and even gold medals in the national championships!

Here is a photo of a good friend of mine (He bought my first FireFly with the 46@28 limbs photo shows shot at 20 yards ) He was with me on the records and gold medals, and is a very satisfied Firefly longbow archer!  

Regards Ronny

I got a new to me Firefly a couple of weeks ago and it's one of the best bows I have ever shot. Very smooth and super accurate.

Bought my first Fire Fly FX from the Classifieds a few weeks ago. (64", 49 @ 28)

Beautiful workmanship!  Excellent bow.  QUIET!  I'm very pleased.

Tim  Thanks for posting this and I am not surprised.  Jim's bow are some of the most accurate bows I have ever seen. We cornered him at Compton's and what a great guy to talk to.

Great bows!  I love my 60" and it is very accurate.  Not that accurate consistently.  Must be some kind of defect.

I have owned six takedown longbows.  The only one I have now is a 62", 55# Firefly.  It's not for sale.
