Good deal!!

I think youll be really happy given the ole girl a fresh start and pre serving a part of bow history

IMHO of course

You wouldnt scrap a 68 Shelby Cobra cause it had a busted fender right?

Makesure we see how it comes out

in reply to: Rudders long bow #18018

I have about 75 arrows thru it

I did the grip in just a thin suede but i dont feel any real hand shock which for a soild hickory bow is very good

I got it set up quick played the nock alittle but she came into point of aim quick

Its 65″ and pulls smooth 50#/28″ i draw 27″ so its throwing 47# or around there

Fit and finish was excellent for a sub $100 bow i really have no complaints

If i do my part it seems to do its part very well

This was a project for small game hunting and i think it came out well

I also have been using Rudders poplar flu flu arrows and 125grn field point which im very happy with,my Bear Black Bear seems to shoot them well also even being a 40# and arrows spined at 45/50#

Over all for the money its a good piece of kit

My cousin shot it yesterday with me and went home and ordered one

That said he shoots 31″ draw and we saw noproblem with over draw down range

Ill order another one for sure,might be a stave and ill try my hand at alittle tilling
