Title: Who makes Trapazoid Longbow Limbs
Post by: String Cutter on March 05, 2007, 07:40:00 AM
Anybody know of any bowyers that make these type limbs on their longbows???? Really like the feel on the JD Berry longbow I have. But I'm shopping around for a new one.

Black Widow is probably the largest company to use this limb design.  They make a nice product

JD Berry still builds bows, you can still buy bows like your old JD Berry.

Dan, I've already checked out his site, But thank ya. Was just going to see who else makes them like that and do some price checking.
He makes the limb really thick then narrows the limb from the sides from  the  back to belly. Really makes a smooth shooter. Was just wanting to know if anyone else does it this way???

they do that to help get the poundage exactly how you want it   ie I ordered a longbow from whisperstick bows and I wanted 38 lbs and when he got it all glued together it was 40 I asked him if he could make it 38 he said he would shave the sides which it looks like a trapezoid now which does help it shoots a little smoother ( I have no reason why it should)  but it looks awesome andy custom bowyer should be able to do that for you.  also doing it made it exactly 38lbs.   (it is for my fiance  and she loves it)
