Wild Horse Creek Quest longbow
« on: January 30, 2013, 08:10:00 PM »
Here are a few pis of my newest bow from Mike Dunnaway.  It is a new model he just came out with.  It is a mild r/d bow based off of his Vision longbow with some modifications to be better suited to it's 62" length.  62" 53# @ 28".  The riser is macasser ebony, actionboo cores, tiger myrtle veneers and beavertail grip.  To say I am pleased is an understatement.  It shoots just as good as it looks.  Wasn't even intending to order a bow when I went with my nephew as he ordered his new Kestrel, but saw a Quest Mike had in stock and made the mistake of shooting it.  As is often said on here, pictures don't do it justice.

I have always liked the look of his bows.  Everyone I talk to who has shot his bows say they perform well.

Yours is a looker for sure, Enjoy!
Relax,

Same here.  Two totally different bows, but I love them both.

hard to tell from the pics, but does it string up to a D or does it flatten out a bit toward the tips???

It strings to a "D".  Here is a picture of the end of the linb when strung and the tip.
