An AFL with bamboo cores and string follow can be a magic bow, typically is for me ... just sayin'  :saywhat:  :laugh:

Tim, I like your Cheetah. I have two of them, and they look really nice, just like yours. I think this is one of the prettiest bows Craig makes.

This got shipped a few days ago. I hope the world postal service is kind to me and it arrives in Australia from Minnesota in a timely manner!

Yes, it's a Pacific Styk from St Patrick Lake Longbows. Riser is bocote. everything else is pretty standard stuff. Can't wait!

Yes I agree. This is crazy not to have any snow by now. But We just got some today so will be out after work tomorrow trying for a doe.

I got my new ASL in the mail today. Pacific Styk by St Patrick Lake Longbows. So far it's very nice!

I’ve heard nothing but good things about St. Patrick Lake Longbows.  Yours looks awesome.  Congratulations on the new bow.

Really nice Dylan,
Good looking pair of bows there.
Looks like you're shooting it pretty good too  :clapper:

Just wondered, how does the Dished grip feel compared to the Locator grip?
Any difference in consistency of the actual in the hand grip/feel.

Best
Lex



Good hunting to you all.
May the wind be your friend, and may your arrows fly true,
Most of all, may the appreciation and the gratitude of what we do keep us humble......

Hey Tim, beautiful cheetah. I love mine especially the shooting characteristics of it.
I'm just wondering what you or anyone else does about carrying both the waldrop  and your back quiver at the same time.

All with the straps that are already on it. No extra bungees or anything needed.

Cheers mate.

I feel a subtle difference between the two grips but honestly didn't have a hard time adjusting to the dished grip. As long as you're putting pressure in the right place and the grip doesn't lean towards making you favour a high wrist I think pretty much anything would be fine. They're both very good.  :goldtooth:

Just finished my 5th ASL, it ain’t no Schultz,Steen,Miller or John Lee but I like how it turned out. I call mine the Northmen Longbow.
