NICE
Awesome
holy smokes...73#
yet another pretty bow Chris!
Wow that's a beauty!! It's got some serious hooks going- almost looks like a semi- static. How does it behave?
Haha yep. It's not for me. One of my buddies wanted a 70#'er so I told him I would make him one. He's a little bit bigger guy than I am though :thumbsup:
It takes everything I've got to draw it back but it shoots good. Sends a 700 grain 2219 down range with authority.
Awesome bow!
I was about to ask how you found the time to build a bow in between working out! 73# .... I could probably draw that bow .... once .... before I soiled myself and my shoulder exploded lol.
...73 Crazy Pounds, how can you pull that. :archer2: Gorgeous bow by the way.
i guess he dont have to pay... an yer not gonna mess with him :biglaugh:
Sweet bow, good effort to draw it too, and it looks great!
Very nice, but only 73 pounds. :D Bue--.
Love the look of the old style riser and great work :)
Nice, smooth lines, very classy looking!

Used to be able to draw 70#, not anymore, wouldn't even try! Good looking bow though.
good loooking bow Chris
how long is that riser dude
Thanks y'all.
Mark, it's an 18" riser
Love the looks of this one! It has a classic look to it. My Father and I built a longbow back in '82 that weighed at 72 lbs@28, but I haven't shot it in years. I would probably get sore! He told me tales of years gone by how he and his buddies would shoot 80-100 lb. longbows!
