I've had my Crow creek Black Feather longbow for about a week now. It is a sweet shooting T/D longbow. It's 62", 51#@28" and has a Cocobolo/Rosewood Dymondwood and Bocote riser and Bamboo limbs with a reddish stain on them. Below are a couple of pics of the bow.

Very nice, congratulations!

Elmer makes a really nice bow--they look a lot like Roy Hall's to me (another fine bowyer). If I liked a heavy risered longbow, that one would be on my short list.

Nice bow! What kinds of woods are on that bow? Congratulations.

EH,

The riser woods are Cocobolo Dymondwood and Bocote and the limbs are Bamboo stained a reddish color. I say Cocobolo Dymondwood because I've had big risered bows with Cocobolo/Bocote and they are not as heavy as this one. The only material I've had in a bow that gets this kind of weight is Dymondwood.

Chad,

I like the heavy riser as it makes for a very stable shooting bow. Comparing Elmer's work to Royal Hall's is quite a compliment for Elmer, or for Roy depending upon ones perspective.

I don't mind a heavy riser on a recurve, but it just doesn't suit me on a longbow. My first custom was one of Roy's--a great bow, I just never could get accustomed to the riser. I do like a heavy riser wood, but in a small riser (on a longbow at least).

I meant the comparison as acompliment to both! lol Both make a beautiful bow and really good shooters.
