shorte riser is all ........
Ok, so If I was shooting a 62" bow before and it fit me well, I could now shoot a 60" and things should remain as comfortable? Except for string angle of course.
There was a dandy zipper on stickbow a few days ago. It was all I could do not to buy.
you sellin now? Let me know.
I think I am going to save up 1200 dollars and get one of his elk horn risers bows. I just love em.
RE: frog gigging and the impact to traditional archery (with pics)
BC, if you want an elk horn riser bow contact Voodoo. Absolutely beautiful bows--and I don't think they cost $1,200.
As for the bow in the pics.......it's got some pretty woods, but other than that, what's the big deal? I used to get all slobbery and big-eyed over fancy woods, and I still like to look at them, but I learned some time ago they don't make the bow shoot any better.

Chad have you shot one ?
They have a lot of maple I think in them ... very light. Mine is all bamboo - its lighter I'd hazard than your 1 piece longbows as a 3 piece TD recurve !

I don't know. Zipper is my favorite bow. They come in many other woods than shown. I hate to admit it but thats the reason I love trad bows. The beauty of the wood. Well some of them. If I wanted top performance, I would get hoyt, or PSE recurve
RE: frog gigging and the impact to traditional archery (with pics)
I honestly don't remember if I've shot or owned one--too many bows, too little memory. If I did, it wasn't good or bad enough to leave a real impression. That's the bows I remember, for the most part--really liked them, or really didn't. There's a few that fall into my "ok" category that I remember, mainly because they get talked about a lot.
BC, have you ever seen Tamo ash? It's the prettiest wood I've seen--'course it depends on the figure.
As for performance, not likely you'll get the absolute best performing recurve from PSE, or even Hoyt. I'll try to remember to ask a friend who stays on top of this stuff who's got the #1 spot currently--pretty sure it will be an ILF limb, probably Samick or W&W. He'll know more about who actually has it, vs. who claims they have it.
