Mollegabet
« on: August 30, 2010, 09:13:43 pm »
I just recieved a new bow as a gift from a good friend here on PA, who shall remain nameless due to his humility.  If you wish to come forward, please do so.  It's a mollegabet, quarter sawn hard maple with a hickory back.  59" NTN, pulls about 70# at my draw of 28".  This bow is incredible.  If any of you have not tried the molle design, you really should.  This thing pulls very smooth, is virtually silent, and flings arrows with authority.  They hit like a freight train.  I hate to admit it, but I'm a recent convert from the compound world, little over a year ago.  I think this bow would fair well against any wheelie.  I think with sufficient arrow weight I could get a complete pass through on any unsuspecting Volkswagon.  Anyway, great bow from a master bowyer.  Thanks, I cannot wait for hunting season.  Enjoy the pics, and ignore the big ugly ape holding it!

Looks like Half eyes work to me ;) I could be wrong. Very nice bow indeed

Yeah, Rich likes the Moll's... he was the first person I thought of too. Maybe it's not him, but that's my guess at this point.

It's a brute, goth!  A thing of "authoritative" beauty, to be sure!  Volkswagen?  You'll fill up the freezer quicker if you go right for a Buick!  ;D

If it doesn't rap the lintel, it might not be a longbow.

Nate,
    leave it to you to remember that one line. Just about got Wolfsongforge's new bow done.....another beast.  Any stonger and I guess I can stand on the string to check weight. Got a couple in the works for some fellas, but they are more in my range (50-55#)
