hi guys!
after lurking online for a long time and getting advice from the fine gents here i finally got my first bow.
i had a few handicaps namely
1) living in India where sadly we have forsaken our rich heritage of archery
2) having an outlandish draw length of 31.5 inches.
3) being a newb and thus having next to no idea of what i need ( want being a separate issue).
based on the feedback here i interacted with a few bowyers. the best and most patient of them was Edward Boyd of Trinity longbows.
he replied to my numerous mails and queries, called up if i couldn't and finally sent an absolute beauty of a longbow.
it's a three pc bow in black wenge and boo core limbs with black glass.
the bow fits my rather large paw well as if custom made, though Ed did not take a palm trace or print.
i also got a dozen carbon arrows (beman ics bowhunters), bow stringer, glove, guard assorted tips including a six pack of muzzy 3 blades.
the bow is rated at 43 @ 28 and should be drawing 51- 53 @ 31.5. overall length 64 inches. she is strung up waiting for the string to stretch in and me to assemble the arrows. i don't have a lot of room to cut the 340 spine arrows and am hoping to see them fly either right or too stiff.
pics will be posted asap because i have to upload them to photo bucket yet.
thanks for all the great guys on this forum and also for the great advice given
