Just bought this bow recently. Shoots great but apparently im spoiled to my 60" bob lee take down. Yall might remember that i mentioned that my 58# bob lee limbs were delaminating due to abuse. Well i need some more. I want 57-60# range. 60 or 62"
The wing is 58". 51# @ 28". New string with wool puffs and homemade bow hush installed. When i bought it there was a small chunk of wood broken off of back corner of shelf. I took it to my friend who is and award winning knife smith and had him round out the shelf and take some meat off the grip. The shelf on this bow was way too square for my taste and is now much more appealing. The grip was super fat and is now closer to the grip that bob lee has on his recurves now. I did not care for the glossy finish so while we were working on it, I sanded the whole thing down and refinished with a minwax satin finish. Bow looks great now. Only thing that makes it look like its not brand new is that the places we removed wood are lighter than the rest because i did not sand the rest of bow past factory stain.
I will take pictures if there is interest. Just testing the waters first.
