Will someone please buy this bl##dy bow so I can stop pestering my wife about it. Alternatively any advice on how to convince her this is a genuine need & not just me wanting new toys would be appreciated.
Cheers
Paul.
(Sorry, I hope this isnt considered hijacking a genuine thread)

Dartonian,

tell her you would be getting an increasingly scarce (as the bowyer has retired) modern longbow by Australia's best craftsman of such, at a bargain basement price, and that it will be a priceless heirloom in years to come!

Seriously, can't vouch for the investment potential, but this is a temptation my own wife would kill me for giving in to, seeing as I already own 2 of Jeff's bows!

Gundy,
Do you have an idea how much poundage will drop as I only draw to 28"?.
Thanks,
Paul.
Oh, and thanks Erron... good ideas. I am serious about wanting to buy this bow but equally serious about keeping my wife onside too.

Well, I firmly believe that it is a tad heavier than stated...but, I would say that it would drop to 50# (???)

It's bloody fast....faster than a 54# @ 28 I have....

A curve mate....I will eat shipping on this one (within Australia), probably $20-430 usually...

Man! That was quick....Hmmm, I'll give you 3 minutes....

Take your time man - it stays.

Truly, what Erron said, it is one of the best you can get...

I keep getting silly urges to make an offer on the quiver and arm guard....
I'm sure if things were offered seperately they could likely all find a home.

A few have asked to split them actually.

However, I would not go any lower than the stipulated price on the bow. it is worth every cent and some.

The quiver and armguard cost me $85 on top of the bow price.

Hey Guy is this still sold?
