Title: New HHB bow with pics
Post by: Simple Hunter on September 03, 2010, 05:40:18 pm: I have not posted for awhile (work and medical reasons) but I do have a new bow that is just finished.

It is about 50# at 27in. I don't have a scale and if I did I would not use it----I go by what feels good to me.
62in long and is one of my fastest bows. (I love hophornbeam)
