Take down Recurve 60# @ 28

#1 Post by dan76 » Thu Aug 07, 2014 9:41 pm

Hi all, this bow is made by me (Buffalo Bows) and is new and offered with a one year warranty on materials and workmanship. I am selling this bow cheap as it has a cosmetic flaw in the limb which can be seen in the photos. The bow is 62" long and 60# @ 28, it is zebra and wenge with bamboo cores and double flared riser. I am letting it go for the bargain basement price of $500 plus shipping.

Dan

Verry nice mate and verry tempting

That mark in the glass looks like it is just a typical mark you get with Gorgon's Clear Bo-Tuff. It tends to show up more when darker woods are used. :roll:

That's right Jeff, unfortunately it happens from time to time. Thankfully it has no effect on the structural strength of the bow it's purely cosmetic.

100% right Dan!!!

It has been happening with the glass since the early 1990's and it isn't about to change I don't think.

Yep purely cosmetic but not easy to explain to potential customers. I've had it in couple bows over last few years. Apparently if the glass is wetted, held against a black ground and lifted to the light in a certain way it does pick up some flaws.Still after all these years Gordon's should be better at it rather than regressing.The worst is, no suitable alternative exists.

I have a Cascade Brushhawk longbow that has a few of those streaks in the limbs and I was getting a bit worried about them.
They are not anything to worry about you say?. My bow has black limbs and the streaks really stand out in a certain light.

Matt try running a fingernail across the streak and if there is no feedback in doing so then it will just be a streak [ blemish] and no cause for alarm at all. It seems even in this day of high tech the glass manufacturers can't get it 100% right.

Did this get sold mate?
