Title: Horne Traditionalist Longbow
Post by: LUCKY MAN on March 26, 2007, 08:34:00 PM
Just came in from the backyard, was shooting a 66" 45# @28 Horne Traditionalist and that rascal will sho nuff send an arrow downrange, getting there quick, let me tell you.

If I did'nt already own a PLX I would be buying that baby, I gave my son my wallet and told him to hide it and give it back in a few days. Money was trying to jump out !

If you're in the market, Give Mark and Sandy a call, you won't be dissappointed.

I was at Mark's shop about a month ago, and got to shoot just about everything he had there. I also was very impressed with the Traditionalist. I ordered a 64" 50#@28" one. I can't wait to get it.  :pray:

Davey, the Horne belongs to Jack Holder and another friend of mine is considering buying it.

Shot one at the Sweat, same one as Terry.  Very nice bow, quick, very stable.  Bow seems to have quite a bit of preload.  Mark told that was do to the carbon.  Nice grip.  Bow would be on my short list if I was looking for a longbow -and I am always looking for a longbow.

Speed wise it is probably a little faster than my PLX which is 42# compared to the Horne which is 45#.

Did'nt measure the brace height but it's about the same as my Widow which is 7.5

The laminates are considerably thicker and the limbs are wider.  Money wise I would buy the Horne over the Widow, but I bought my Widow used so have about the same invested.

The Horne is whisper quiet.
