That’s a beautiful bow! Looks like a shooter too!!

Would that longbow be a deadly Sunbear Charlie?

The riser section is especially well done. The beautiful Bubinga adds a lot of character and the workmanship is flawless. The grip is exceptional; there’s a lot of palm swell and the thumb rest places the hand perfectly every time. This bow must have been at the pinnacle of Ben Pearson quality and experience just before compounds burst onto the market. I’m not going to be the first person to shoot this bow but it appears like it would be an excellent hunting bow for a recurve shooter with a 27-28” draw length.

Nice job! Very cool too. I love seeing more women returning to traditional archery.

I’d been shooting Bruin recurves for a number of years; all with actionboo cores, all wonderful shooting bows. Mike Steliga told me he had the bow form of the last recurve model developed by Staghorn Archery before compound designs took over the market in the 70’s and Staghorn closed their doors. He called it the “Mag II”. Of course I had to have one of these, and had Mike build it with hard maple cores as Bill Pyle of Staghorn would have used. Those Bruins are great but this old Staghorn design with maple cores gives up nothing in terms of shooting characteristics or speed to those Bruins. I‘m no bowyer, but I think the bow design rather than the core wood is the key to performance. I also think actionboo is a tough, light weight product available everywhere in the country, and being a man-made product the quality and consistency of performance is likely to be the same as well. High quality, slow growth hard maple is a common product in north-central States but not necessarily so in other parts of the country. Actionboo is likely easier to source and more consistent to build quality.

That’s a beautiful glove. Also great craftsmanship!

Nice looking bow Justin. Are those limb tips still able to shoot Rhino?

Beautiful bow Justin. Hope everyone in your family has recovered and was able to enjoy Christmas.

Justin do you prefer the Swinehart grip?

@Newell38 Justin those are the best looking endless loop strings I’ve ever seen! Do you make those yourself?

Which model is your favorite shooter Justin?

Beautiful bow Justin!
