holy smokes...73#
yet another pretty bow Chris!

[Trux Turning]

Wow that's a beauty!! It's got some serious hooks going- almost looks like a semi- static. How does it behave?

[chackworth3]

Haha yep. It's not for me. One of my buddies wanted a 70#'er so I told him I would make him one. He's a little bit bigger guy than I am though      

It takes everything I've got to draw it back but it shoots good. Sends a 700 grain 2219 down range with authority.

Awesome bow!

I was about to ask how you found the time to build a bow in between working out! 73# .... I could probably draw that bow .... once ....  before I soiled myself and my shoulder exploded lol.

[Wolftrail]

...73 Crazy Pounds,  how can you pull that.        Gorgeous bow by the way.

[fujimo]

i guess he dont have to pay... an yer not gonna mess with him  

[bigbob2]

Sweet bow, good effort to draw it too, and it looks great!

[Buemaker]

Very nice, but only 73 pounds.    :D  Bue--.

Used to be able to draw 70#, not anymore, wouldn't even try! Good looking bow though.

[Dmaxshawn]

good loooking bow Chris

[Mad Max]

how long is that riser dude

[chackworth3]

Thanks y'all.

Mark, it's an 18" riser

Love the looks of this one! It has a classic look to it.  My Father and I built a longbow back in '82 that weighed at 72 lbs@28, but I haven't shot it in years. I would probably get sore! He told me tales of years gone by how he and his buddies would shoot 80-100 lb. longbows!
