        I just got this from Gregg today. I shot about 30 arrows tonight. It spits a 650 grain arrow like a rocket. I love this bow. Quilted maple dyed grey, and a wenge riser.

          That is a beauty! Gregg makes excellent bows– nice work Java Man.

            Very nice bow. im a big fan of the recurves with a tiny riser

            they shoot so much like a longbow its a real easy transition between bow types.

              Roger — This is a different looking bow from Gregg’s usual. That’s to say it has neither the extremely streamlined handle-forward look of his Shrews, nor the Mongol horsebow look of most Java Man bows. Looks like a good solid shooter. How many of Gregg’s bows do you have now? Hundreds of just dozens? 😛 I’ve owned four Shrews, loved each one, but down to one at the moment. But happily, I have another on order from his forthcoming greatly expanded Java Man line. IMHO he should be building bows only for his own line, not someone else’s. Just too darn special a bowyer not to be putting all his talent into his own line. Since Gregg will have a booth at K-zoo, I’m saving my pennies and counting frequent flier miles to try and be there in January. I am dubbing Gregg’s growing fan base the Coffey Club. You and I are charter members. 😀

                A little history on this bow. I started out making self and all wood laminates. Decided to try to reproduce the Willcox Duoflex in all wood laminate in the late 90’s. Made 1-2 dozen of them.

                This bow is a glass version off the same form. Worked pretty well.

                Thanks for all the nice comments.

                  Ha! “The Coffey Club” it is! Your post made me go down to the shop and count….this one makes 6…..unless I missed one 😀

                  Gregg is a great bowyer and a great friend. I get a great deal of enjoyment out of BS’ing with him about all the worlds problems, I love it when he stops by with something for me to shoot, and I like how he treats his customers. I just wish I could get him out in the bush more chasing bunnies with me and Daisy The Wonder Beagle…but he chains himself to that bowyers bench!

                      Ok Roger I’m turning green here – seeing that beautiful bow and knowing you have another 5 from the same gifted bowyer, that’s just not fair 😛
