Anyone used one of their longbows? I have a chance for a used Superior model and would like to hear people opinions. Thanks

My first post here so trying to figure things out. I meant to send a little description. Northern Mist Baraga with Bubinga riser and bamboo limbs with black glass. 54#’s and I shoot 740 gr. ash arrows. It loves heavy arrows. Slight reflex, deflex with the baraga and superior but also builds the classic style and string follow which I may try next time.

Nice looking bow and buck. So I take it you like their bows?

I really do like the bow. It’s 1 1/8″ wide at the fadeout and 1/2″ wide at the tips. 4 laminations of bamboo. I decided I didn’t like the handle I got. He called it the RW grip where he flattens out the grip on the finger side. I had the tendency to torque the bow because of that so I added some deer hide to fill that in. Next time I will get the standard locater grip. Steve Turay said he made the grip by request and many people liked it but not for me. I guess i would reiterate that he’s great to talk to if you have any questions.

Thanks for the input.
My problem has been that I fell in love with the Great Northern Critter Gitter and all longbows I’ve bought since just don’t please me as much. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to afford the Critter. YET

I would describe Northern Mist bows as functionally elegant. The four I own are all easy to tune, dead quiet at the shot and most importantly shoot to where I am pointing. These are pure hunting bows. Steve’s craftmanship and attention to detail are second to none and his bow designs are proven performers. You get what you would expect in a true custom bow. I have had the opportunity to help a dealer in his booth at various shows the last few years and got to handle a lot of bows. Some bows just stand out as “shooters”. Steve’s bows however are very consistent. Everyone I have handled and shot has been a shooter. Ya I like them. They are also an great value. Some pics…

I’m a Northern Mist fan. I really like Steve’s bows. As I just noted in another post, between my son and I, we have two Baraga’s, and I have a Whisper on order. The pics of both Baraga’s are in earlier posts of mine.
