Custom longbow...sorry, not a bike

[makenzie71]

Draws just shy of 60lbs at 29", linear stack. She's a fast, smooth shooter...one of the best I've ever made. It is oak and bamboo with a (artificial) sinew-wrapped ipe palm. Fully tempered, light staining and sealed. I'll include a new string with silencers and serving. I love this bow and don't want to send it off, but I must to cover some computer repairs.

Email for pictures, but be forwarned...bows are hard to photograph. I will stand behind my work, though, and if a buyer does not feel he received what I've described, within reasonable limits, I will accept the bow back an issue a refund. I will also warranty the bow for 180 days from purchase.

Asking $150 shipped to the US.

Homemade bows are cool man. Definatly the last post Id expect to find on here though! If I had the scratch Id pick it up. Ive always wanted to get into archery. (For sport/target, I dont hunt...)

I dabble in a lot of things...from building bows, making wire figurines ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/DuncanDesigns ), working cars, building bikes, to playing with windmills, and a dozen things in between.

This bow isn't for a beginner who just wishes to do some casual target shooting. A seasoned bowyer or archer, even if only slightly, would enjoy it but a beginner would want something lighter. One good wrist-slap from a 60lb bow has the potential to shy a man away from the sport forever...I've seen it happen.

I make lighter bows ideal for youth and beginners...usually pulling around 30~35lbs. I make them out of slightly lesser materials for the sake of cost. I try to keep my beginner bow rates around $60 for a simple longbow. Usually 14~21 day delivery time for these little bows, if anyone's interested.

bumping for a new price...I would like this to be sold pronto if at all possible. I will take $100 shipped for this bow today! This will include a new Dacron B-50 served/silenced string ($35 worth of labor and materials).
