Default Apex Predator hybrid longbow for sale! SOLD!

Here is my first hybrid. It came in too light for my buddy Scott, so I have to build him another. This one is 60" NTN and draws 52@28. She is cut to center and a really fine shooter. She has a wenge/osage riser and the same in the overlays. She has an action-boo core and stained bamboo limb faces. This one runs $450, but since she is now a stock bow I will sell her for $400. She comes with a bow sock.

How do you get the correct weight when you build a bow?

You refer to the last one you built! If the new one needs to be heavier, then you use thicker lams. This is the first one off of the form though, and it's mostly a W.A.G. on the first.

At least with a self bow you can put em on a tillering tree as you go to get your weight correct. With your bows you dont know till it is finished.

Nice bow, Marty!

Most bowyers keep detailed notes (recipes if you will) on previous bow builds and can get pretty close to target weight after they build a particular model for a while.

What a beautiful bow.

I guess the "don't ask, don't tell policy" is in effect in case someone's significant other finds out there is an incoming bow.

It would be nice to hear from the new owner as to their thoughts on this gem.

That'd be plumb cowardly, wouldn't it?

Boo under glass, should be quick, 52 @ 28, just right, and 60 NTN (perfect for my short draw) good thing it wasn't a lefty or I would be worried how to tell my wife.
