I have several of John Schultz's all bamboo and one all yew Grandpa bows.  They all have some degree of string follow mostly being essentially a selfbow but Howard seemed to feel that improved a longbow.  They are knock down gorgeous bows...Doc

I have mulled over this quite a bit and have decided that while I would love to shoot one of the all natural bows I don't wish to own one.

I stopped making and shooting self bows years ago. One of the main reasons was that all natural bows have a life span. Some longer than others but without the insurance of glass the risk isn't one I want to take.

I'm not saying glass backed bows can't fail because they can and do but I like my chances better with them.

Please don't shoot me or if you do please make it a merciful shot.

God bless,Mudd

no thanx, been there, done that.  

i've spent far too much time with self and composite longbows to know they're totally not for me.  they're like fine acoustic guitars and they need extra loving care, and even so they'll change over time.  i need a stable workhorse that won't change over time and use ... and i'll take my string follow crafted in permanently rather than self induced.  :)

gimme ruff 'n' tuff "glass 'n' grass" any day.  :cool:
