I recently purchased a Fox reverse handle longbow from Arrowsmit. I have only shot about 30 arrows through it, but what a pleasure to shoot.

I find it so much easier to shoot than recurves. When I say easier, I mean easier to point at and hit the point on the target that I'm focusing on.

My son, Reylamb, will be 30 a week from tomorrow. I went to Buford, GA this weekend to help celebrate his daughter's 3rd birthday. I carried my CM Firebird along and gave it to him as a birthday present!

I am now committed to longbows! I'm sure they all don't shoot like the Fox, but I have found one I love to shoot!

I have ordered a half dozen fletched arrows with 125 gr field points from RRA, 3 50-55# and 3 55-60# to see what will shoot best out of the bow. I have a dozen 60-65# POCs but they shoot left and angle to the left from my POA when they impact the target. (Hmmmm, maybe I ought to point out they are fletched arrows with thre 5" shield cut feathers!)

I want to shoot wood with Magnus broadheads. Once I figure out what works best with the bow, I'll order a dozen finished arrows.
