Forward Handle Fever

Don't think I have enough ticks left to get into different style bows. I have too many bows that don't get the love they deserve. May focus on my heavy longbow and some stout Red Balau shafts, and concentrate on Public Land hogs. Probably won't get after deer this year.

Yep. I've been afflicted for many moons. N.M. Whisper. It's certainly well named and loves heavy wood arrows.[attachment=1]

itHere is a St. Patrick Lake LH. I have had a few reverse handles and they were all nice shooters.

Nice bows guys—EVG-is that a 50 @ 27" Morning Star? I think I might have owned that for a short time! I have a Whisper, Morning Star, and a Taipan and they are great shooters. The Whisper hasn't made any meat yet but the other 2 certainly have. They definitely look a little funny but I think every longbow guy should own at least one!

Yes it is. The string grooves are a bit asymmetrical, but other than that the bow is a beauty.

I make and shoot both standard and reverse handle bows but I generally prefer reverse handles Some have fancy overlays but most ftp://are just simple, small broomstick.-style handles like this one.

Cool, I bet it is the same bow.
