Title: New Javaman Elkheart!!!
Post by: Mark Colangelo on February 01, 2018, 08:24:00 PM
My buddy and I drove the 9 hours from Omaha to Kalamazoo last weekend for the expo. It was a great time and we will be back again. The highlight for me, though, was picking up my new bow Gregg built for me. He was an awesome guy and I am floored by the absolutely stunning piece of deadly art I brought home. Next up for me will be Helms Deep for sure. Pics below as long as I can figure out IMGUR.

Thanks! It shoots great! Draw feels smoother and lighter than my Super Kodiak even though that bow draws four pounds lighter. Even more surprising to me is that the arrows I have tuned for my SK are showing very weak from the Elkheart. Good excuse to order some more surewoods, never a bad thing for me!

Awesome bow!!  I spoke with you guys briefly at Gregg's booth and got to see that beauty in person.  I have found all of my Javaman longbows seem to prefer a stiffer spine.

Good looking bow. Nice to see the amo as well as recommended brace and string length on bow from bowyer, wish it would become the standard.

I don't want to say how many times I have pulled this up and looked at that beauty, for fear you'll file a restraining order on me..

X at least 3. I recently bought a longbow. I love the bow, but wanted to get a spare string for it. Bow is marked 66", but takes a 64" string to get the recommended brace height.

Greg gives you all the info you need, where it won't get lost, to order a string of the proper length even if you don't have the old string. And how many times have we seen posts asking what the recommended brace height is for a "new to me" bow?

Add in the fact that his grips fit me better than anything I've ever shot, Gregg's a definite winner.
