This bow shoots great! I'm almost tempted to sell all my other longbows.It's quiet,it's fast,no shock at all,and it points and hits like no other longbow I ever had.
Right now,I'm shooting aluminums off of it.All my wood arrows are spined too heavy for it

I like a good alum, not expensive and you dont have to straighten like wood.
Looks like a howard hill design??

Awesome looking bow Jim. I also have a Wesley Special that I'm hoping to use on moose in a few years. Most stable bow I own.

I am in the process of negotiating a John Schulz longbow right now. Hopeful it will come through.

And yes, it is always fun getting a new or used bow. But it's also very addicting.[&:]
