Heartland Longbow - traditional elegance at its best!

This review is long overdue.  

I happily received my new Heartland Pulse from its maker, Cory Engert back in the beginning of October.  I have had the opportunity to own and shoot may fine longbow variants and several high end recurve bows since the beginning of my traditional archery experience back in the late 60s and, like many of y'all, have been passionately searching for that "Holy Grail".  

Guess I am lucky enough to have stumbled across a trail leading me to Exter Nebraska where I finally got to hold and shoot what I feel is the best combination of performance and quality.  Absolutely the sweetest shooting stick I have ever owned.


 

A great shot of the awesone wood in the riser.  I have always loved Osage and this piece is stunning - full of color I have never seen in Osage.


   

And lastly,  Cory's attention to detail escapes my pickiness...flawless fit and finish!  Belly glows of the osage radient "gold" in the sun.

Tony, I'm glad you like it.  I know that I could not be happier with mine. I know we have had a very similar journey looking for the "HOLY GRAIL" of bows.

That is a beautiful piece of Osage, I will have to call him and see if he has any more that nice.

Good looking bow! Just checked the website and prices look good. Always been a sucker for forward handle/riser bows.i Like the strung profile also.

I own one that looks about the same. Best shooting bow you will find. People who don't know would be amazed at how they shoot. Very quick,smooth and very quiet bows. Cory is a super nice guy also. I will own another one soon.

WOW!!that strung up profile is gorgeous. That is one of the best looking bows I've ever seen. Would sure like to get my hands on one of these and take it for a test run.

[Bob Abeln]

Take a look guys, these are the best shooting bows you will find. Love mine.

This is the truth.  The limb design is very efficient which has allows me to drop to 40# at my 27" draw where I was shooting a tad over 50# over a year ago.  Very quiet and a joy to shoot.  

I know it is a very popular bow for the guys with long(er)draws. It pulls very linear...does not stack as quickly as many great bows will do.  I originally found Cory's Heartland bows on a thread started by a few Tradgangers that have been, for the last few years, buying and selling  - almost frantically - in effort to find that that ONE.

I am confident to say there is absolutely no disappointment with a Heartland longbow.


Here's Cory's website:   www.heartlandbows.com

What color is the glass on that bow ... black or dark brown ?

A good looking bow that will only get better looking over the years as the osage mellows.
