Got double Carbon Fedora..I do!! Pics!
« on: September 18, 2011, 09:12:00 AM »
Hello all
I think i have found the one! 560 Fedora..60" 60#@28...Recurve  Gaboon ebony and bloodwood.. I
This is one that is pretty rare..Mike and Jason made this a double carbon bow, with micro tapered lams, reinforced speed tips and all the rest of the intricasies that make Fedora one of if not the best out there.
Of course it is fast like all Fedoras...but what i noticed about this bow is...QUIET!!! Mike said this is a hunters bow!  It is as quiet as any of my longbows i have had and quieter by FAR than any recurve i have had(over20). The grip fits me like a glove and is big so i dont torque the bow...Mike and Jason recommended about 3 arrow combos that would put broadheads right in the bullesye..and guess what ..they all do..I told Jason that i shoot 3 under, and he tuned thebow..brace height and nock point for me..Well I got the arrow combo he recommended and whammo! no tuning required on my part with a variety of broadheads...Here are some pics enjoy! I am...

Beautiful bow...love the wood combo. They are shooters for sure. I've been shooting a Left hand Fedora for a month now, an older one and it really spits an arrow.

Now all you need is a nice whitetail to step out in front of you. Good luck with it.........Joe

So that is a double carbon limb from Fedora!?!?!

That is pretty cool. I went to their website and don't see it mentioned as an option. Is this a super custom order or one off custom?

How much extra would the carbon cost?

Great looking bow!

The story behind this bow was that Mike made it for someone who ended up hurting his shoulder at work and could no longer pull 60#... so i was looking for a bow and called Mike ,(this is my 4th bow from the Fedora's, and having met in person he knows my dimensions and likes))...and of course if you know Mike he said "have i got the bow for you!" and yes it was more than i wanted as i was looking for a plain workin mans bow. Then being the good Italian man he is..he made me an offer i couldnt refuse! So here i am owning the absolute best bow i have ever shot and it fits me perfectly just like brother Mike said it would. I will be bringing it up north this week when i meet Jason to do some salmon fishing..it will be great to see him put it thru its paces!

I'm a big fan of thumb rests...I had Kempf build me a small thumb ledge for my Stealth T/D and my new longbow.

The Fedora I'm practicing with now gives perfect hand alignment and the slight palm swell makes for a sweet holding and shooting bow. The extra mass in the riser also helps to eliminate torque. Still waiting on mine..........   :archer2:

You can always trust an Italian in a deal. It will be a deal you can't refuse. (:

Very nice bow.

Joe..
Yes the thumbrest is awesome as you know..i never even pay attention to the grip. its just there...and his grips are always a little thicker but man they just slide right in there...
and being Italian myself i know when to take an offer!
 I will try and chrono it this week, even with the dacron string it i as fast as anything i have shot to my eyes anyways(including my Predator, but MUCH quieter)..Terry Green in one of the threads mentioned the 560 he shot was quieter than many of the longbows he had shot..he wasnt kidding. i had been shooting my 58# firefly with the same arrows and i was shooting about 6" higher the first few rounds..
also i have noticed the limbs are incredibly stable when held at length by the tips..really cool!

   Great guy to deal with and I LOVE the new bow

Thumb rests are really comfortable, had one on a Centaur. Nice looking bow.

Thanks all..really starting to get in the groove with this bow...Shooting very consistent out to 27 paces..( very confident to 20 paces)must be do to the torque free grip and flat trajectory
