        A few months back I expressed a need for a short hunting bow that would draw good at 30″+. I’ve got an infant and my current vehicle situation doesn’t accommodate a 68″ LB. He told me that he was already working on something like that and after several months, this little beauty arrived at my door Friday morning. I’ve got the 3rd one ever made.

        I had Nate surprise me with the majority of the specs. I simply asked for a bloodwood riser. She’s 58″ 55# at 30″ and an R/D design. I ended up with bamboo core, cocobola acccent and veneers, bloodwood, phenolic, and elk antler tips. Came with a D97 string and a nice fleece bowsock.

        FYI – I restitched the grip with sinew and put a new soft leather rest on there. I do this for every bow regardless.

          I am pleasantly surprised by this bow. Felt a little too compact in my hands at first – kinda light. My Great Northern quiver fixed that. Loves a 2219 aluminum and an 80-80# cedar! I think I’m going to start rabbit hunting with it.

            Really a good looking bow!!!
            Like the limb tips and the wood in the riser !!
            What kind of wood is in the riser?

            Congrats

              Bloodwood, Cocobola, and Bamboo!

              I am loving that Bloodwood.

                          Beautiful little longbow!! My first recurve was a 58″ Grizzly, and now I also have a 54″ Kodiak Magnum. I love my shorter bows. Haven’t shot a lot of longer bows, so I can’t say how much I like those.

                          Michael.

                            Beatiful bow, the mixture of the different woods is nicely put together.
