Thanks Mike, glad you enjoyed shooting it. I hope to have one of my one piece bows on the website soon.

I'm curious as to the one-piece also, looking forward to it.

The TD will be heading to you next iohkus, probably either Friday or Monday. Should be seeing a review from Two Arrows soon. As far as the one piece bow, been working out of town the last couple weeks. I've got a couple in the works, a 54" I have ready for finish and a 58" ready for glue up. Just have to get them finished to get some pics for the website. My plan is to do a pass around with the 58".

Will, Doug shipped the bow to you today, Priority mail. I would think you should have it by Thursday. Let me know when it shows up and what you think after you put a few arrows through it.

Received the bow this morning. Put it together and redid the center serving as it was too small for my nocks. It was late this evening before I was able to get out and do some shooting.
First shooting impressions: bow shoots hard and fast; seemed to be very accurate, and for me that's saying something. I will give a more detailed review after I've shot it a bit more and add some pics also, even though pics have been posted before.

Kent,

Don't worry about building stock or pass around bows, just spend all of your extra time on my bow........or on second thought, just all of your time on my bow........LOL

man I would have loved to try that bow out. looks great

Here are a few pics of a one piece I have in the works. It's not finished, just rough sanded but should give you and idea of the profile. This one is bocote with carbon back. It has a thumb rest which I think really helps for consistent hand placement and just feels good to me. The one piece doesn't have as much of a forward riser as my TD but is still smooth shooting, easy to point and has very good performance. I may do a pass around bow when I have time to get one built.

I like the looks of that Long Bow! I have a Centaur and it flavor it some. How the performance?

UrbanDeerSlayer · « **Reply #75 on:** September 29, 2012, 08:29:00 AM »

I'm jealous. I think I may be on the "Injured Reserve List" if someone drops out

Shot the bow quite a bit Saturday. To reiterate my last post, I'm certainly impressed with this bow's accuracy. I would very much like to shoot one tillered to my draw length of 26" and weighing in at 45#. Shooting this one's 57# @ 28" put me at about 51#, which taxed my endurance somewhat. But I was very impressed with it's performance.Shot my 444 gr. Beman Hunters hard and fast. Could have been a little quieter, but not bad.
One feature I especially liked is the inboard slant of the arrow shelf.

Another note is how close your bow hand sits to the arrow shelf, so much so that a few times my hand was stung by the passing arrow

A friend of mine, who shot the bow a little, experienced the same. He also was impressed with the bow's performance. The grip could have fit me a little different, but that is personal preference. I would also like a little longer riser (not much) again, a personal thing. Finger pinch was not an issue as I shoot with a release (which could be a source of the extra noise I alluded to)
All in all, I like the looks and performance of the bow, and would not hesitate recommending it to a prospective buyer.
Thank you Kent for giving me the oppertunity to shoot it.

Will be sending the bow to J Lyle tomorrow.

Thanks for the review and the great pics. Glad you liked the bow. Just let me know if you decide to order one in your draw weight. The shelf can be extended to prevent the occasional fletching/hand contact. That's the way I'm building Charlie's bow, he made the same comment.
