A New Bill Howland masterpiece is on the way to me
« on: February 09, 2011, 01:32:00 PM »
WOW!!!

Bill just sent me a pic of my new Custom Brackenbury Quest that is on the way to me, long wait was well worth it. Bill is a master bowyer and I love his bows. I now have three, two Quests and a Non Typical longbow which I traded for.

 

Cannot wait to shoot it.

Ray, my brother, "From my cold dead hands"LOL.

I have found that the Brack Quest is "The" bow for me, hence I sold most all of my other bows. I do have a Cari-bow Silver Fox longbow and a Robertson Fatal Styk X, but that is it besides the two Quests and the NonTypical.

Ciao Felix, mi amico. Yes I LOVE Zebrawood, especially the "Cathedrial Grain" that Bill uses.

I was at Bill's house a couple weeks ago and saw your bow as he was just about to finish it up.  I thought it was beautiful even before finished! I have his Peerless recurve,and really love it.

Bill is taking orders I believe, but the wait time is over 24 months. You would have to call him to find out for sure.

Striking bow.  I've always liked the way the Quest looks and I don't even like recurves.
