          Yes I own one. It’s 46# @ 28″. Craftsmanship is first rate. Shoots where I look. Quiet. No more, no less handshock than any other mild R/D long/flat bow. Old fashioned straight grip took some getting used to, but now I prefer it to locator grips on longbows or high wrist grips on recurves. That said grip preference is HIGHLY subjective. Speed with heavy arrows is good considering my short draw length. GNBC is a very well established and well respected bow company. It is a very ‘plain jane’ type of bow, but that’s what I like. Made here in the good ole USA with domestically produced woods and glass. I don’t believe it can be beat for the money spent, assuming one is comparing apples to apples. Can’t say enough good about it. Like it so much I ordered a 52# @ 28″ GNBC Lil Creep at Christmas. Should have it in a few weeks. Won’t be selling the Fieldbow though. Do a search on other forums. You won’t find much bad said about this bow or GNBC in general if you find anything bad said at all. Solid dependable bows. I have no connection to GNBC, period. I just like the bows and the company’s philosophy that much!

            I will simply say: Great Northern’s Field bow is one of the best kept secrets in bowhunting equiptment. If you have a need for a lower poundage bow, for whatever reason, I don’t think you’ll find a better bow for the money!!! Horserod

                Sorry, have no way of posting pics. No digital camera and my cell is most certainly not a ‘smart phone’.

                  I think they always had a bow called the critter getter – they have a great reputation for fine bows

                    Critter Getter is no longer availible. Has been replaced by the Lil Creep.

                      I own the Lil’ Creep in 56# @ 26″. It is my go to bow for anything upto, and including Elk. In my opinion they make the best bows on the planet for the money. Ask anyone that ownes one or check out the harvest sheets on Boone & Crocket.
