That is an interesting idea. Sell via Ebay to establish a reputation for the bows and then set of a dealer network based on interest accordingly.

Guys-

Richard was kind enough to send me an early Newberry B1 for evaluation, seeing as he knows I take my bow testing very seriously and will honestly comment on the equipment I test. (He wanted unbiased opinions about his products, which I thought was very standup.) These bows IMHO are really not all that far off from being a VERY appealing product to be honest. I had the chance to set one up and shoot it some, and they hold very well, exhibit little recoil and handshock, and have competitive speed and accuracy. Tolerances are exceptional, and it is built with quality components throughout. I sent the bow back with my overall evaluation and a small list of things that I felt would enhance their overall appeal to the general public, and wished him and his company well. I received a very nice thank-you e-mail in return. Very nice guy--that in itself counts for alot with a company IMO.

Seeing as I received one of the first bows produced, (essentially a " prototype" ) I cannot give an overall evaluation here because I am sure some of the small things I mentioned back to them were going to be or have been revised. Even tho this is a brand-new bow brand, and it was essentially the first time out anywhere when I tested one, I felt that the bow could readily compete in 3D or become a great hunting partner with little extra effort, and that in itself was impressive. I am looking forward to trying another one soon, and feel that Richard has a very good start on things and he has good reason to be proud of his product. JMHO. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12

Now that is good news.....not that I do not trust the rest of you folks but P12 has quite a bit of experience behind him...both in shooting and working on bows so his comments definitely carry some weight.

I hope to hear some more of those bows soon. Heck, maybe I can talk to my local shop about picking up the lineup in the future.

we have 2 models ready now the B1 and the Sb1 the third one i just took of the drawing board as i do all my own design it is going to be about 38 ata and around 73/4 brace draws 25 - 32 approx. guess the ibo will be around 305-310 tops super forgiving for you longer ata bow guys pinwheel has made some suggestons on the bows and most of them are in progress the grip is a real touchy thing it is hard to make a grip that everyone likes no matter what you do there is something wrong with it so we are going with the majority we are having a full one piece wood being made and a full one piece soft rubber being made so we will see what happens this is a bussness that I love have been in it for 35yrs and it is not a easy businness but i have ideas i am a hunter and a tournament archer and i am very active in the sport and will stay that way that is important to me so maybe i will see you out there somewhere I hope i do and you can tell me how solid my bow is because that is what i am striving for the total satisfaction of my customers so that there hard earned money is spent very wisely and that they really can have the best for there hard earned money and make the sport as enjoyable as possible so it will always be here for us thank everyone for there interest in Newberry bows
