New bow
 

I think I've waited for about 4 months for this longbow. The Boyer is Jim Godden and his shop is called Mississippi Lake Longbows.

Congrats on the new toy it looks like a good one.

How does it shoot?????

RE: New bow
 

Nice, very nice. Smoother and more quiet than my only other longbow which is a Crusader. But then they are both better to shoot then my recurves. Maybe my expectations are low but it doesn't seem like this bow needs any silencers.

RE: New bow
 

Awesome! Can we get a pic unstrung?

Hey now. They stole my mild r-d design. Lol.:D

So you gonna file a law suit[8D];):):D

RE: New bow
 

Guys, what are the downsides of having a "not mild" r/d design? Or a radical r/d design?

RE: New bow
 

Not much. I like a more r-d in shorter bows. In longer bows, I like a sexy mild r-d. As for why I like it that way. More r-d makes the bow shoot more like a recurve. So a shorter longbow with lots of reflex will shoot more like a recurve.A mild r-d, on a longer bow, will give you the best of both worlds. Not quite as fast as a recurve or a radical r-d longbow, but much smoother. Or that is my oppinion in the bows I make.

RE: New bow
 

It is noticeably smoother than my Crusader that has much more recurve to the limbs. Seems a bit more quiet.

RE: New bow
 

Very nice! I bet that is one sweet shooter!

RE: New bow
 

I have foundradical to be more "sensitive", or "critical" of the shooter. The only exception that I have personally found was my Adcock which I still have, but don't shoot too much.

Personally, I'd only shoot a HH style bow if they didn't kick like a mule. And yes, I have heard all of the shoot heavy arrows, hold the bow differently, or this one doesn't kickclaims, but to me they still kick like a mule. Having a sensitive elbow and wrist sure doesn't help either.
