trinity takedown falcon longbow review- update
« on: April 28, 2015, 08:09:00 AM »
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

Welcome!! That draw is going to pack a punch! Beware, the traditional addiction has a strong grip, but so very much worth it.

As a side note, I've said it before but never enough; I love the Tradgang community. So many different people from so many places peacefully and fraternally sharing our passion.

Would love a pic of the strung profile.  Ed put some serious reflex into those limbs, bet its a roclet!

It's a beauty!  Enjoy it and welcome to our campfire here on the Gang.  Let us know how you get along with that new bow.   :thumbsup:

Welcome, Advitya! That bow should work very well for you and it sounds like your set up should be right on the money. I really like the Beman ICS Hunters..they fly well and are so quiet on the draw.

I've adopted too many bows that needed a good home.
