Aggressive R/D hybrid longbow appreciation thread

[SKITCH]

How bout a Roy Hall Navajo Stick "Aztec". Neither of these are mine but the pics are good. Thought about getting rid of mine cuz I just couldn't seem to connect with it.....until...I had it out one day and just by chance shot some arrows that I thought would be way over spined for it.... And they just kept hitting the middle of the darn target....one after the other.  Hmmmm.  I kept it!!

As soon as I get a nice day, and some time, I'll get some pics of a few of my bows. There have been a lot of really great pics and bow designs already posted, but I do have a few to add.

Right now though, I'll add a few comments on my Holm-made Osprey. I won't say that it has any hand shock so to speak, because it is not in any way extreme, but I do feel a slight bit of vibration. It's probably just my current set up. I need to play around with it a little more, and I'm sure woodies will help a lot.

That being said, there is just something really special about the Osprey. This bow gives me feedback like no other bow that I've shot! And I've shot a lot of really good bows. If my arrows aren't grouping well, I can tell what the problem is. Something that is very hard to distinguish with a lot of bows. It is the most forgiving bow that I own, and it is a great performer. I consistently shoot this bow the best! The price is really good, the two year warrantee is great, and the fit and finish is among the best that I've seen. They may not be the most flashy bows, but they've got it where it counts! Shootability, consistency, and good performance. I have become a better shooter with all my bows because of the feedback that I get with my Osprey. Chad is a great person, and very easy to work with. Thanks Chad. I love my Osprey.

Cari-bow Slynx, I love this bow.

 

 

 

Not the same bow but shows the strung and unstrund profile.

Gorgeous bows no doubt. This is going to be my next bow.

Here ya go, from my Dryad ACS thread on page 1.  This thing flat out performs, the Westvang boys and John Havard did it right!  I bought it new/never strung for a deal from a fellow archer, just to try one out with thoughts of reselling, but now not so sure I'm gonna give it up.  It's a Ferrari.
---------------------------------
From my thread:

Dryad builds a winner.  Craftsmanship pretty darn close to my Habu.  Really lovely.  For as great as this thing shoots there is some real value here.  

Gorgeous bocote riser with black glass crescents.  Very precisely made.  The limbs fit the riser very positively and tightly with no play.  Superb.

Beautiful bow! Do you have a close up shot of those limbs showing the ACS curved profiles? I have always wondered how they look like.

The curved profile is so subtle it's hard to capture it in pics.  It's visible toward the tips but no picture I could take really showed it

I really love my A&H. Smooth and fast. I have fox royal crown ordered that I hope to see early next Month, can't wait to try it.

I appreciate my 1999 model Hollenbeck R/D Longbow in 66" AMO. I got this buck with it last Friday, the day before Missouri's firearms opener. It's a little different design than most hybrids I've seen. It has lots of R/D, but the limbs are narrow with a thick core, sort of like a Hill longbow.

Count 'em. Five lams of bamboo between bocote venners and clear fiberglass [/url] [/IMG]

The narrow limb, limb tips & grip. That's all my "baby pics" for now.

Cascade Brush Hawk, 56" 53@28 this thing has changed my way of thinking. Just unbelievably stable, quick to point, accurate!!!!

 
 
 
 

I need to do it justice and get some quality pics

Cool thread.  I must have missed it the first time around.  Here's mine (the one on the top    ).  Flatwoods Custom, 64", 47#@28".  Jatoba riser with walnut/bamboo accents.  Limbs are curly walnut under clear glass with bamboo cores.
