I've had so many Customers ask me if I offered something like this, so recently it prompted me to try a few things.
Here's what I came up with.
This is what I'm calling "The follower Extreme" longbow. It's traditional, "D" profile, string follow bow. In lengths from 66" - 69". It's already been done, I realize that, but of all the attempts I've made over the years to build one, this is the first one I've made that is smooth and fast enough to offer. Lot's of testing of different taper rates on my lams and such and I'm happy with how this one has turned out. Very little, if any, hand shock, and plenty fast. It'll be available in 2 piece take down as well.

Very nice!
Awesome!
:campfire:
Being an ASL fan I can't help but to be interested...
I'm always interested in the newest ASL offerings. Looks like a winner.
If Mike builds it , it will be a winner!
Sweet!! I may need one of these in my life.
We may need to talk...
Very nice looking bow!
It also has the largest string silencer I have ever seen - and so close to the nock-point!
Very nice! :archer2:
Nice looking bow, I think you will be building quite a few.
How much string follow not braced..
68" long, the string follow is 5/8"
I have a 2pc Follower Extreme. Its a wonderful longbow and my first SF. Mike did a great job on this design; and its just a pleasure to shoot.
What kind of connection is Mike using on his two piece? thanks
I use the sleeve

+1 on that... :thumbsup:
Pretty bow, Mike! :archer: :jumper:
thanks
Mike, how long of a draw will these accommodate?
I'll make them out to 69" so 32", 33" maybe.

Yeah Mudd, I remember making something like it for you once, but this one's many times better.

Stop it!
My bow racks are full!! (Well, almost :rolleyes: )
A question, is the sleeve take down the 2 piece metal sleeve or the fiberglass system? Thanks
Metal sleeve.
Looks sweet!
