Title: Pass around,, GAUGING INTEREST
Post by: Crittergetter on July 22, 2018, 01:55:28 PM
Hey Gang, I'm considering doing a pass around. Would any of y'all be interested in testing driving one of my bows? I will most likely do a 3 piece for ease of shipping. Might possibly do a longbow/recurve combo since I use the same riser.
If I do I'll start a separate thread for folks to sign up.
What say you?

Great offer you are making here! Should get plenty of interest. I just got a new bow so, don't count me in as I've got to focus on this one for a while. Look forward to seeing the bow though! :thumbsup:

A very nice offer.... I'm always looking to try out new bows. Not enough archery shops around that offer a variety of bows.

That would definitely be a great way to get people to try your bows. I know unlike the compound guys its hard for trad shooters to just stroll into a shop and test drive every brand.

Just one question... would it handle a 33" draw?  :bigsmyl:

Yep!!! My 64 long bow can and my 62 recurve can. Which the recurve will be 2" shorter if using the same riser as the 64" longbow
62" lb = 60" recurve , and 60" longbow I can do either a 58 or 60 recurve
Ps.. 33"!!!! That's impressive!!

Yes, it leads to some problems with arrows though... My 62" Toelke Whip started dying a year ago because of my draw length. Now I have his 64" SS and things are happy again. Your bows look great! Especially that sheep horn.

Where are you located in TX?

Ive admired your bows since I seen them on this site. I'd be willing to try one if the specs were close to what I shoot. You do great work and this is a fine gesture!

Honestly I have a "problem" buying bows... So when I saw what appeared to be a TD curve (or hybrid LB?) in your picture gallery I was smitten. I believe it's a sound business move and a great way to get some of those beautiful bows lying across some animals!  I would also clearly be in.

Ok guys, it sounds like we're gonna do a pass around!  :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
I'll post up a sign up thread here in a few weeks with some rules to follow. Be watching for it cause it'll probably be first come first served!
It will be a little while before I get it built. Going to have to work it in between orders.
Thank for all the kind words and feedback!

I have tried a lot of bows and almost all of them were good, with a few of them being in the great catagory.If it's a great bow, tell everyone, but if it has issues, then tell the bowyer. Yes, I would be interested in shooting and   evauating this great looking bow if it were 40#. :archer2:
