New Dave Johnson Longbow
« on: April 16, 2013, 09:17:00 PM »
I received this bow about a month ago and have been shooting it regularly ever since. Just a really sweet shooting backset Hill style. Eastern red cedar lams, white glass on the belly and brown on the back. 66" and 48# @ 28". Dave was super to work with on the build. Really pleased with the bow and the way it shoots.

Rather than discuss it in detail here I put a much longer description in the product review section if you want more information and pics take a look over there.

Nice bow.  I got mine from Dave about a month ago.  I must have been right after you or right before you.  I believe he said the guy before me was from Maryland.  All that said everything you say has been true for me.  Dave was a real pleasure to work with.  My bow, like yours, shoots great.  This bow was a departure from my HHA bows, and it is different in subtle ways.  It did not take long though to figure it out and be on my way to stellar shooting.  I need to figure out how to post pictures as Dave is first class and needs recognition as your pictures show.  Real pretty bow you have there.  Congrats.

I've owned and shot many different longbows. My two Dave Johnson bows are the best of the best.
