I have traded for a very fine self bow-osage- made by a gentleman named Ray Fanning. It is around fifty #’s and shoots a very good arrow. I’ve never been into self bows much, just laminated, but this bow shoots wonderful. A bit of hand shock but great. Anybody heard of or know of this “Stixbow” Longbow Co.? Golden, Tx. Or, Mr. Fanning?

Only wanting to find him to talk about what he finished the bow with not to question anything.

Stixbow — It’s not unfair to say that in the personal- satisfaction category, any competent selfbow beats the “best” custom bow/glass/carbon/etc. ever made! No matter who made it or what it’s made from. I’ve built and owned many and never felt such joy in shooting. Only downside is that they tend to stack if not Really Long, so that as you/we/I age, it becomes more difficult to shoot a stick at big tough critters we so admire and identify with (hey, ain’t we doing this to express our natural wildness?). If you’re young and/or strong enough to pull the necessary weight to toss a heavy arrow accurately at your chosen max range … you just can’t beat a “homemade” bow! My 10 cents. Snuffs

I think stick bow or the company has changed hands, I have looked into this company some. They still have a website http://www.stickbow.com however only sell a few things as the new owners (or at least what I hear) are trying to re-configure the company. 😮
