Whats wrong with this bow?
« on: January 28, 2011, 07:51:00 PM »


   

       

Nothing except I have to wait until tomorrow to shoot it.

Its a new to me Big River Longbow.  68"  47@28  Black phenolic riser bamboo limbs. 4 inches longer than my go to bow and 2 lbs heavier.
 
I have an almost matching knife too.
 
Relax,

You'll live longer!

I'd put a block target at the end of the hall and shoot it now.

Wow!

I used to prefer more wood but that is a SHARP looking bow.

It must be smooth and quiet too!

I have two bamboo limb bows and they are my favorites. I think that you made a great choice with that combination.
May your next adventure lighten your heart, test your spirit, and nourish your soul.

I will start with the same arrows I use for my 45lb bow. Wood, I have both cedar and Doug Fir.  50-55 and 55-6 spined arrows.
Relax,

Never shot one yet I didn't  like.  The leap of faith when I decided to buy it wasn't very big.

It was your bow which inspired the owner of this bow to have it built.
Relax,
