Title: new custom longbow
Post by: deaner on December 24, 2012, 05:50:58 PM: just found a package on my porch... my much anticipated longbow made by my brother down in california just arrived. draws 53# at 29inch. looks and feels great. my hope is to take an elk with it this coming season so that i can have the hide tanned and ship it down to him for use on future bows.
