Matt Hamilton has one of my one piece bows and suggested that I try the heavy hitters side of bows. I will be passing around a 79#@28" 62" AMO bow.
This bow has bamboo cores with double set of carbons. The handle is cocobolo/bocote with glass inlays. I will post some pics of this bow and it is right handed. Sorry lefties on this one. I am thinking about the Africa hunters in mind as some have posted interest if they can bring it to Africa and try it out. I think it is a great idea and seeing what others think.
Oh yes, I have done some new things with the handle and it is based on a 50's style grip, low to medium and similiar to alot of styles out there. I have made some handles to fit this now, so I will offer this handle to anyone that would like to buy a bow as well.
Matt Hamilton had voiced some concern and interests with this style as it fits just about everyone in comfort and shoot ability. I have redone one of my personal handles just becuz I like it so much. I have made handles similiar to this in the past with client's suggestion.
Thanks and good shooting,
Dave

Dave,

I would like to be the first to give this new bad boy a try.

You make some awesome bows. The re-worked riser you made for me was perfect.

I'm not saying that it is impossible to take a one piece bow to Africa, but I will say that I am not going to be the one to take it. Do you make your bows like that one in a two piece model for those who like their baggage to be shorter than they are? :D

I'll hop on that list! Let me know, it could spend a day or two chasin elk with me, been looking for a quiet one piece longbow

HMlongbow · « **Reply #5 on:** July 01, 2012, 05:58:00 PM »

Yes this is a 3 piece T/D model. Sorry for the confusion on this as I didn't clarify myself well enough. Any questions or concerns please voice here.
Thanks and good shooting

elkbreath · « **Reply #6 on:** July 02, 2012, 12:10:00 PM »

I'd shoot a three piece too :-)

kbetts · « **Reply #7 on:** July 02, 2012, 02:17:00 PM »

I'd give it a whirl. Right now I'm shooting a 71# ILF setup so I think I might be able to handle the extra weight. If its doable, I'll take it on a Sept. whitetail hunt.

HMlongbow · « **Reply #8 on:** July 02, 2012, 06:22:00 PM »

Well so far there are three folks and I will check the African hunters as well. I have the bow on the sticks right now finishing the spray.

Wow Dave, what a great opportunity for the heavy bow crowd.

At my draw length this will be too heavy for me, but I look forward to seeing the finished bow and the reviews from those who can handle it!!!

What arrows do you shoot out of a bow that heavy?LCH

HMlongbow · « **Reply #11 on:** July 02, 2012, 09:27:00 PM »

Matt what are your recommendations and what do you shoot? I think a big game arrow around the 15-17 gpi would work.

Dave,

Uh? You asking me about arrows? I am not much of an expert. I shoot AD Trads. 725 gr.

Matt

elkbreath · « **Reply #13 on:** July 03, 2012, 07:46:00 AM »

x2

I shoot AD hammerheads and some trads. The hammerheads come out to 10-11 gpi on my 75-85# bows. The trads are closer to 9gpi. And thats with brass inserts and 300 gr tips.

HMlongbow · « **Reply #14 on:** July 03, 2012, 04:03:00 PM »

I have heard the hammerheads are great arrows and I have some trad lites for my 50lb bows. They are really easy to tune and fly straight.

kbetts · « **Reply #15 on:** July 03, 2012, 05:55:00 PM »

Since my 71# has a plunger, I can use GT 55/75's with it, but I'm going to build some GT 75/95's with brass inserts and probably internally weight the arrow if needed. The 55/75's weigh about 630 so I'd like to add 150 grains. My arrow length will only be about 29-29.75 depending on if I foot it and what spines better.

I wouldn't mind giving this a little workout. Been thinking about trying a 3 piece to make travel easier. Let's see how well it can take down some Florida hogs.

bawana bowman · « **Reply #17 on:** July 04, 2012, 08:10:00 PM »

Can not believe how little interest there is in trying this bow. This is a great opportunity for trying a heavy 3 piece bow. This type offer doesn't come around very often.
Guess there must not be many of us that can shoot 79#?

HMlongbow · « **Reply #18 on:** July 04, 2012, 08:10:00 PM »

seems to be five to six people so far so lets see what and if anyone else is interested.

HMlongbow · « **Reply #19 on:** July 07, 2012, 06:41:00 PM »

I will try to keep this on front page to see of any interests.
