Here's a pair of longbows recently completed by my buddy John Sweka. My only ASL and a new one for himself. The reverse grip one is mine. 68"-52#..white glass back and belly. Curly maple and blackwood riser.
His is 68"-57#...white belly..brown back. Curly ash riser.
John is an excellent bowyer for someone who does it part time. And mostly for his friends. I felt honored when he agreed to do it. Fun to shoot and pretty to look at. Hope you all agree....
Glad you like it John and I hope it brings you years of enjoyment.
It's unfortunate this won't be a good year for the 3D's. I'm glad we got one good shoot in at Shade Mountain before all the crap hit.
Aye laddie...agreed..!!! May end the year with Shade's Big Trad Shoot the weekend after Labor day..!!! Stay well..
I actually got to shoot one of his forward handles a couple years ago at Bear Quest.
Very nice shooter. :thumbsup:
Excellent work, sounds like it shoots as good as it looks.
:campfire:
John builds a great bow indeed and what a great guy he is I always look forward to sharing a campfire with him and his son monk at ETAR!!
Two beautiful bows. Great job
Nice!
