Title: Navajo bows
Post by: mqqse on July 07, 2007, 11:39:00 PM
Looking for info on the net for Roy Hall Navajo bows.  Only found one website that sells a few of his bows.  Anyone have any feedback, good/bad, about the bows?

Good craftsmanship, very smooth.  I wouldn't consider them very fast, but fast enough.  You won't be disappointed.

I own the Caddo.  It is 62" and 52# @28".  I think the bow is very smooth.  The fit nd finish is top notch.  Roy uses a satin epoxy for the finish so the texture is smooth versus the finish on the bows by Striker.  My longbow strings easily and shoots very quick.  Maybe not as quick as my 50# Great Plains recurve but I like the Navajos.

Sweet bows, I owned a Cherokee. It is a mild R/D design and is very quick. It was the quietest bow I have owned!! Shawn

Great Bows. Roy makes top notch stuff... I'd say it is at the top of the "Best List" ... Some may like on more than another/ but there isn't much difference in any of the top end "Best List" bows.... I own the apache bow Roy makes...

Ive got a 62 in. Cherokee 52@28 very quick and like Shawn says dead quiet... Awesome grip and also a very pretty bow as much as I hate to say pretty about a bow.LOL.

Roys bows are excellent and you won't find a better guy to deal with.  I own two Caddo's 60" at 59# and 47#.  You can't go wrong.

Between my wife and I, we have 4 Takedown Navajo Scout longbows and love them. Roy is a great guy to work with!
