“I recently bought a kit to build a Hybrid 62 “ longbow from you. I finished it last week and attached a photo of the bow for you. It is my first try at building bows and I am very excited at the result.
Thank you, your kits are exceptional and easy to follow the instructions. I was a compound bow fanatic and are now converted.”

“This bow is a 62″ recurve with a draw weight of 63# @ 28″. The riser is
made of Tasmanian Blackwood and American White Oak. The limbs are Tasmanian
Blackwood with clear fibreglass with a Selway bow quiver attached. The bow
shoots extremely well with a smooth draw and release which is a testament to
your designs.”
