For Sale - 'Woomera' Longbow

#1 Post by rory » Tue Mar 07, 2006 6:43 pm

Well my time spent with my last couple of bows has allowed me to work out that I prefer shooting a recurve. However this baby has been great to me :D

It is a smooth draw to 73lb@28", and will handle anything in this brown land with a well placed shot using heavy shafts. It shoots very flat, and I found it was quite accepting of most arrow set up's.

At 66" it doesn't hinder your shooting in the field, especially for a longbow, and I will admit, it is incredibly light in comparison to a recurve.

The handle is made of Australian Blackwood. The limb core laminations made of Tasmanian Myrtle with a Bo-Tuff glass over-lay.

It is in excellent condition, both practically and cosmetically.

I hope that this bow is able to perform for you as well as it has for me.

With the bow comes 2 extra Flemish twist strings (cat whiskers), and a home-made finger tab :)

At $310 plus post, it is well under it's 'new' price.

:D Rory

Forgot to mention, it does have a suede undgrip beneath the black wrap.

I will leave this offer solely on here for a bit, but then I will advertise more widely.

Rory it looks like an excellent longbow mate, have a mate wants a bow but its a bit too powerful for a beginner but i will mention it to a few people at the hunter bowmen shoot tomorrow.
Good luck with selling it.
