Stickbow Target Archery Forums

a bit longer than usual and lots lighter in draw weight - 64", 40# @ 28" - a 'rehab' longbow for those unfortunate times when my 'frozen' right shoulder acts up and prevents pulling hunting weight strings. vince used some beautiful cocobolo and macassar ebony on this 'dark beauty' longbow. i have no doubt this little popper will make both a fine target and bunny buster bow. oh yes, this mild r/d limbed bow has that classic braced 'D' shape to placate those neurotic ifaa officials.

when you figure in the quality of woods, the all cane limb cores and veneers, the trapped limbs covered in clear glass, full wood overlays on all sides of riser and limbs, accent lines in the riser, laced leather grip, superior craftsmanship and that durable fullerplast matte finish, i don't think even vince knows how he can sell a killer longbow for $425. i don't expect this price tag to last much longer!

Pretty bow Rob. I think I would get that out more times than required for just rehab. At that weight, it should be a pleasure to shoot.

there's a tanj - www.tradnj.com - muzzy type shoot happening on june 13th and i'll escort her to that event - she sure is a shooter - incredibly smooth and quite quick for a mild r/d longbow.

oh yeah, did i mention she's ifaa legal, too. hah!

Hmmm....I was wondering if the overlays were legal.

I would think that if someone protests them, they would have to be taped just like any other bow with lams.

Actually I meant the tip overlays - subject to size limitations.

actually, i was referring to the braced limb shape, but the belly riser overlays and tip dimensions might both be an ifaa issue. those are aesthetic and not functional design issues and both could be 'fixed' during the build. what incredibly stupid ifaa rules, don't get me started!

lol. Another reason I like my Hill.
