Can anyone comment on them, shootability etc?
Also how big is the grip, I like a fairly narrow one.

I have not shot one and only seen pics of them. But I do like what I have seen and from what everyone has said about them you can't go wrong with owning one.

Herb must be doing something right, he's been in business for long time.

I own four- soon to be five and the wife has one. Herb is a great bow builder!

Pronghorns are the finest shooting longbow that I've shot. They are smooth drawing, quick, very quiet, and no recoil upon release. I prefer the 3-pc. takedown because of more mass weight. The bowyer (Herb Meland) is super to deal with and a gentleman. My favorite is a 62", 48 lb. @ 28". In regards to the grip size.... in my opinion, a medium grip. Very comfortable in hand.

They are the best of the best ... I would highly recommond them and the boywer.

I think they are great bows. I currently own 14 of them, 8 of those are his Ferret recurves. I shoot the longbows 95% of the time now, just love them.

The grip is fairly narrow, it may be what you would like.

I have a 1 PC Pronghorn. 64" 83# at 28". It is beyond awesome. Fast, powerful, quiet, hits where I look.

I had a 56" 1 pc. The bow weighed less than a pound, but had absolutely no hand shock. The grip was on the small side and i guess you could say was quit narrow. The grip really fit my small hands and i liked it a lot. I over bowed myself so i had to sell it. The 3 pc bows have larger grips.

You cant go wrong I have several. The grip is fairly narrow. Shootability? IMO they have it.

I own several and love them all. Not a better bow around! Smooth, quiet, fast! and very accurate!

Here are a few from Shedrock.

Hopefully some of these will give you an idea of what the grip is like.

Smooth, Quiet, affordable, Honorable bowyer
I could use superlatives all night. You won't regret buying one. You would regret selling one.

One of the best guys you will ever deal with and he builds a very fine bow. I have a new one on the way in a couple of months.

Herb has been making great shooting bows for a fair number of years.

Austin Brown · « **Reply #18 on:** January 20, 2011, 03:15:00 AM »

I've got one coming soon also, can't wait!!! When did you order your's Doug? I think I'm getting close, but I hate to bother Herb by checking.

Mr.Vic · « **Reply #19 on:** January 20, 2011, 04:38:00 AM »

I had the 3pc one years ago and sold it. Hated myself ever since. That is until Stickhorse came to my rescue two seasons ago. The first one had a fatter grip, this one has a smaller grip. All the above said. And she ain't getting out of my sight.
