Fox "Breed" Recurve, bad pics, great bow
« on: November 27, 2013, 08:44:00 AM »
I toyed around with the thought of ordering a Fox Breed recurve for a few years.  Finally decided to order last spring.  Bow was delivered Monday, and im very glad I ordered the bow.  I had only shot an earlier model Breed that didn't have as much offset to the grip, so I was wondering how that would work out...  Well, its perfect.  

Some basics on the bow- 58",  51#@28, Myrtle limbs (very nice multi color), Bolivian Rosewood riser with either myrtle or black locust heel (supposed to be myrtle but sure looks like locust).

The Breed has narrower limbs for a recurve, just over 1-1/4" at widest. The offset grip feels perfect, just enough swell on the left do fill the palm, and nice distinct curve at the heel.  The "offset" in my opinion helps the bow "point up" quicker and more natural, it just kind of finds its own "sweet spot" as far as bow position/cant goes etc.  

As far as shooting goes, its as good as it gets in a bow.  Dead quiet, smooth, dead in hand, hits where you look etc. All you can ask for in a bow, period.

My camera is dead, so here are some low quality "cell phone" pics of a high quality bow!

Richard builds excellent bows.  Some of the best workmanship in the business.  I have 2 of his Royal Crown Bows. Good luck with the Breed, it looks great.

its getting a Kanati quiver today,  debated on using a bow quiver or not, as it just feels so good and balances so well in the hand.

That is one beautiful bow. I had one some time back and it was a real shooter.  Best of luck with it.

Beautiful bow. Love those myrtle veneers.

That is one sharp looking bow! One of the prettiest I've ever seen. Maybe my Fox longbow needs a brother.
