Landman, I share your opinion of owning a Holcomb 59" repro....I have 3 of them! They have a ton of "snap" to them and Ed Holcomb finishes them with the BEST of them! These are simply fantastic bows.....john

I eventually got around to talking with Ed and man, what a character.    A genuinely interesting and talented man and I wish I knew him personally.    I'll be ordering another bow from him very  shortly.

Tom, you gonna be able to get a word in edgewise?

Fuzzy is a character, and one of the most talented bowyers I've ever seen. I about peed myself the first time I shot one of his bows at Denton!

Hi Ed, good to see you on here. Lot of talk about your 59'repros, they are real nice for sure. The little Hunter Flight repro you made me is on the same level, super nice!

What timing, I was just wondering about the Drake replicas that Ed makes and now he is here.

Anybody have any pics or more info of those?

Thanks,

Hey Ed, glad to see you made your maiden voyage onto the tradgang site, it's a great resource for bow knowledge and you need to show some more of those sexy bows you make! Maybe that neighbor gal can figure out how to post some pics of all those fine bows you make....I'll try to put up a pic of my cocobolo 59er on here....it's purty!....John

Hey Ed! Welcome to Trad Gang. Looking forward to seeing you at Baltimore. Didn't shoot the latest bow you made for me yet. I am sure it will shoot as well as the rest. Brian
