Finally Found "The Bow"... Tall Tines LB
« on: March 24, 2012, 05:51:00 PM »
Well i finally found my "go to bow". It took me a while and quite a bit of money but i found it and thanks to Rick Wiltshire for parting with it. I went through a lot of bows, recurves, longbows, long, short, but something was always a bit off until i got this one. I can't find a thing about it i don't like. So smooth at 64" has a nice "D" strung shape, all wood, well crafted, dead in the hand, perfect grip, and flings a heavy arrow. Now its off to Portland in June to learn how to shoot it from one of the best Rod Jenkins.
Tall Tines Longbow
64" 54@28
Ebony riser with Myrtle limbs
Sticshooter limb bolts (just awesome!)
Big Jim med quiver
Beaver grip done by Big Jim (highly recommended)
Oliverstacy 450+ string (best customer service)
3 fletch 29" Beman ICS Bowhunter 500 (Thanks to Rob DiStefano )
Centaur Big Game BH (best 2 blade IMHO)

Absolutely beautiful bow.

I just ordered a new one myself.  All ebony, and 64" as well.

Unstung they are pretty straight compared to something like a Centaur. Just a slight curve to them. Here is a pic:

The grip is what i had the hardest time trying to find. Either too skinny or fat, too high to low then i bought a Tall Tines recurve and loved that grip but not the recurve part. Then i found his longbow....Perfect like a glove, same position every time no movement during the shot. Here are a couple more pics of the grip:

Limb bolts are from Frank & Michelle Scukanec AKA: "Sticshooter" on Tradgang look them up. They do  great work at a reasonable price.

I have always liked the look of antler limb bolts.  The color of these match the bow nicely.

Another cool thing about this whole process of finding the "one" was that i was able to find everything i need right here on this forum either new or used sponsors or members. Pretty neat i think. We have some talented people among us.
