Tim Finley (Kota Bowhunting Co) lives about 30 miles south of my farmstead. I recently bought one of his older TD's used, and made arrangements to have him re-finish it. So being, I took it down yesterday.
Learned more about traditional bows, how they're built, and how they're shot, than I have in the last several months.
Tim's bows are absolutely beautiful. He had a gorgeous Bocote LH Prairie Swift recurve 57lbs@28" there that I fell in love with. The grip was perfect, as if it was made for me. Couldn't put it down, I carried it around most of the afernoon. Had it been 50-52lbs I would have taken it home.
As it was, he had an even more beautiful piece of Bocote in the shop so I ordered a Prairie Swift made from it. Mine will have matching veneers made from the same piece of Bocote, 52lbs@28"...
