My New Huntsman Bow...
Hi guy's,
I thought some of you would like to have a look at my new Huntsman Bow by Mark Kimber...
The bow specs are as follows:
* 62 inches long.
* 57# @ 28''.
* Macassar ebony riser, limbs and overlays.
* Gaboon ebony limb tips.
I really must make mention that Mark Kimber and his bow building abilities have been second to none in my opinion... I just can’t commend this guy’s craftsmanship and attention to detail highly enough... the whole way through this bow build, I was constantly updated via email, phone conversation and even to the point of regular progress pictures throughout the build... This guy is what I believe a class act and a credit to all you Aussie bowyers... keep up the great work...!

Cheers Guy...

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is no where as important as being able to place it in the correct spot....!

Very nice
good judgement comes from experience and experience comes from poor judgement
Nothing is easy. That's why it's called hunting, and not killing

Re: My New Huntsman Bow...
ah yeh anyway... i noticed lots of imperfections that may hinder the safety factor of the bow , i think your best bet would be to discard of it asap before someone gets hurt. ill do you a favor and dipose of it properly if you just post it to me
Re: My New Huntsman Bow...

Re: My New Huntsman Bow...
Don't you EVER try to claim you're not a bow-ho again, Guy!
Good lookin' bow, mate, Mark Kimbers credentials as a master craftsman have been re-affirmed...again!
Make sure you post some pics when you blood it.
