Picked up at the post office this morning, raining here so didn't get to take good pics.
But here is one quick one I snapped in the house.

That is a very nice looking bow! The pronghorn is a bow I've never seen in  person. I've always wanted to try one. Maybe someday.

WOW! NICE.
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. TGMM ♥

Would like to have one, I am a lefty -- tough to find one of these on the used market,not patient enough to wait for one to be built. Think I might have to get on the build list. It would be a leap of faith I have never shot one. Oh well thanks for sharing, Jerry.

That is a very good looking bow, Pronghorns have become the gold standard for being quiet.

Really? I know they are quiet- I have shot quite a few. And quite a few other bows at the same time. The Pronghorn was not remarkably more quiet than most of the other longbows (3 piece, single piece, R/D, mild R/D etc)

Not dissing these bows at all. They are great in many ways. I like them. And they are quiet. But they do not set a gold standard for quiet. Very good? Yes.

Sorry, I know I am picking on ya Steve.:0)

Herb builds a fine bow, and they are very quiet as mentioned.

Fooling with the brace height can make a real difference as to quiet. I'll put my 58" three piece Pronghorn up against anyone's for quiet.
