Elburg bow lovers?
« on: January 11, 2012, 02:05:00 PM »
Wondering how many Elburg lovers are out there and if anyone could post pics? I have a Jaguar Special I shot a big Ohio 8 pt with last year and I talked to Adam proctor the other day as soon as I get the money saved up I am going to order a 60" Jaguar probably 50@30. Anyone else hunt with Elburgs or Risen Son (Elburgs successor) bows?

Love them! I only have a 50" Mite currently. I am waiting for the right Jaguar Special to show up to add to my collection, hoping for a two piece. Wonderful bows.

Mine are all "D" style.  3 Condors and one Condor Elite, 65 lbs., 66 lbs, 69 lbs. and 65 lbs.  It is a shame Harry retired but he earned it.

Jon, we had a new guy at the shot this past Saturday who was shooting a 64# Cheetah. I drew it and would better guess it's closer to 60 but anyway, he wants to sell it in case you know anyone wanting one. I'd have bought it but too darn heavy for me. I bought instead a Dan Quillian Bamboo Longhunter fro Nail. Nice bow.

I have a few also. I will be selling some that are now too heavy for me. They are Jaguar Magnums and Cherokees. Mostly around 60-62 lbs @ 28". I had a good talk with Harry and his wife around Christmas. He is doing well. He is spending his free time oil painting which he has not done for many years. He was asked to show his paintings at one of the galleries in Madison. I may be going to visit him this weekend. If I remember I will bring my camera and take some pictures.

God bless,

José

Adam Proctor lives about 12 miles from me. "Salt of the earth" kinda guy. He let me shoot a nice little 50" Mite a couple years ago. I was very impressed.  I liked it as much as my beloved Super Shrew (that says a lot).

  A 50" 2pc Kentucky coffee tree/action-boo is on my short list of future bows.  I'd have one on order by now but I came across a 71#@26" osage/triple carbon foam Morrison Shawnee at a price I had to jump on.

RMS usually has a few Elburgs listed in their used bow inventory if anybody's looking.  Think I saw a couple of Condors on there, and a Jaguar the other day if I'm not mistaken.

Not really Ted...

Had a Cherokee a couple years ago that I traded for the first Jaguar Special... I'd been looking for several years for one and couldn't pass it up...

We have some Elburg fans in our local club... I'll keep my eyes open for a Cherokee Mag in those specs...

If you don't mind send me a PM so I can save it to remind me occasionally when I get another PM about who is looking...

We have some GREAT bowyers today...

But...a preacher buddy of mine was given a parishoner's Elburgs by the widow for my friend's kindness to her husband.

When I could shoot 54#, I shot a Jaguar marked 67#... it felt stout, but like Flittim said, it felt a LOT lighter...

Mr. Elburg could build a bow! Shot several since far beyond my draw but they were smooth and sweet and never felt like the poundage marked...

Oh, yeah...we've checked a couple of them on varied scales...right on the marked weight...just a great design or better fabrication!

Adam proctor told me I could shoot my 54" jaguar mite at my 30 inch draw no problem, only problem is I gave it to my 15 year old stepson. Oh well, he treasures it but boy I wAnt it back. B

Hi, my name is Steve and I'm an Elbergaholic.

Jaguar Magnum 62" 56@28 (Risen Son)
Jaguar Special 60" 55@241/2
Jaguar Express 64" 56@28
Jaguar Magnum 64" 49@25
Jaguar 66" 59@251/2
Cherokee 62" 57@28
Jaguar Magnum 60" 40@28
Cheetah 58" 66@28

I had a Mite I sold in a moment of stupidity with the option I would have first rights if it was ever for sale.....he still has it.

I am always lookig for a Jaguar Special 64" 55@28 but have not found one I can afford or the weight has been too high.

Could one of you guys get me Adams contact info, I would really like to talk to him sometime?

Jaguar Express 64" 56@28
 

These are my primary hunting bows. The Express is my first Elberg and the Magnum I got from Adam right after he started building.

I have lived in Indiana for 53 years and did not learn about Elburg bows until after he quit making them.  It is my understanding that Adam Proctor has picked up his business but I googled him and did not find a website.  There is a phone number on the net, I believe.  A road trip might be in order if he is still active.

Adam goes by "Risen Son Archery". I think to clarify, as I know it, Adam worked under Harry's guidance for a period, learning how Harry made bows. Harry's business never sold, he just quit making glass bows. He has said he would like to make a few all wood bows in the future, but he's retired and he can do what he wants. Painting sounds nice.He shows up at our club now and then(he's only  less than 10 miles from us)and sometimes brings some broadheads he forgot he had and sells them.Or files. He had a whole box of files one time.Neat guy.

Here's what I found Steve

I can't imagine in this day and age not having a website but it appears he does not.
