I have an oddity!!
« on: August 13, 2012, 04:50:00 PM »
I picked up this bow from Mike Horton (The Nocking Point) at this years MoBoJam.

This bow is something of an oddity.

I know the story after talking to Craig at HH Archery, let's see if you can figure it out. (Tony you can't play...lol)

Here are a few pictures.

The arrow was my 1st in a very long time so to say I am satisfied would be an understatement...lol

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   

God bless,Mudd

PS: The bow is 68" and marked 47@28 but scales 53@28.  The shot was made at about 12-14 yards.

My guess is that it's a finish it yourself blank that someone bought from Howard hill archery and just marked it wrong?

Other than the lack of information on the sides of the riser, I'm not sure I can guess what the issue is.

It's good to be reading your posts again, Roy. I'm happy you're back on line.

Redman should be constructed of four laminations of yew.  This seems to be a three lam bow (a Tembo), but one of the lams isn't yew.  Grip is a lot more rounded than Craig usually makes them, which would lean toward its being a kit bow.  On the other hand, Craig will make the rounder grip if you ask for it, and the writing looks like it came directly from Craig's shop, so the jury is out on that one.  It's also possible the grip may have been modified post production. OK, fess up.

You weren't trying the Byron Ferguson "ring shot" were you?  Time to go into the biz if you were.    :thumbsup:

I was shooting for the ring but unlike the one Mr Ferguson shot...mine is cheap...lol

It was a bow blank that someone finished according to Craig.

The bow has two lams of yew and one of bamboo with a bacote riser.

It is a sweet shooter.

God bless,Mudd

"Great shooting Roy! And you're back shooting 47# at that!"

Thank you for the kind words.

This bow weighs out at 53@28 but draws so smoothly because of it's 68" length.

God bless,Mudd
