Does anyone own the new hybrid longbow from Dick Robertson? The CoyWolf is an intriguing design, similar to the Wolfer TD. I have a Wolfer recurve and it is an amazing, point on, shooter.

Looks like I may have to do a test drive on the CoyWolf.

My wife said that when she can no longer draw her NAT that maybe a Coy Wolf in less pounds may be considered. Then she turned around and made sure that she can handle her NAT for this year.

Anyone have a Coywolf now?Been looking at them hard. Thanks

Did you do an archive search? They have been discussed here with photos.

Well, that actually was a Robertson Coy Pup. Here's a link.

I did do an archive and this thread came up, only 2 responses.

I have the Coy Pup that George was talking about. I'm a Robertson fan and this is my 3rd bow he made. The Pup is a 58" hybrid longbow that is a light 38 pounds. I'm only pulling about 35 pounds but wouldn't be afraid to use it for deer hunting. Out to 20 yards it's a speedy bow and I'm using 450 gr. arrows. If I went to a lighter arrow for target and 3D it would really be fast.

All of the bows that he makes are solid hard hitting bows that are as nice as any bow being made. If the Coy Wolf is anything like Pup you'll have yourself a nice bow.

Other than the bow-bolt, what is the difference in design between the Coy Pup, Coy Wolf, Wolfer?

Coywolf is a hybrid Longbow and the wolfer is a recurve. Not sure about the pup.

The coypup is a one piece hybrid longbow. I had one and traded it only because it was so light in mass weight. I shoot a hefty risered bow much better. They are quick, quiet, and are well mannered. The coy wolf has more mass.

Thanks. Robertson's website doesn't really give a very good comparison of the models.

Not a fan of the bow bolt TD system. But i am a fan of the new 40th anniversary “ Coy Wolf 3 “ there’s a video on his web site. Pretty nice bow! Healthy price point, but should last a life time.

In response to your post, I own a CoyWolf. Since the CoyWolf is like the Wolfer with longbow limbs I found Dick Robertson’s Youtube video on the Wolfer very informative.

The offset handle design and purpose is detailed around the 2:40 mark and the details of take-down “Bow Bolt” system follows at the 4:35 mark. Yote Robertson also has a Youtube video specifically on the CoyWolf takedown bow:

Like you, what I found most intriguing was the offset handle design. Or, as Dick calls it “Natural Point Grip.” I have handled, shot, and owned several bows over my many, almost 70 years of life. Although all of my bows are works of art and beautifully constructed, the Robertson 58” Take-Down CoyWolf (Hybrid) feels like no other. Dick states in Wolfer video (above) that grip is designed to shoot canted. Since I do shoot canted this was also another selling point for me. After shooting the bow for the last six months I would wholeheartedly agree that the design truly does blend itself to shooting a canted bow. The grip fits my hand a well-worn and comfortable glove and the arrow shelf is cut and shaped so the arrow rest just above my hand.

The other feature that I like is Bow Bolt take-down system, because there are no tools required for assembly or reassembly. It is the same system that Toelke uses on his TD bows. Although a completely different system, I also like the Black Widow TD longbows for the same reason. That is, there are no tools to remember (or forget), carry, or potentially lose.

My particular bow is 58” Take-Down with a 49# at my 28” draw. It has a Black & White Ebony Riser with Myrtle on limb belly (face) with Black & White Ebony on the limb backs and looks a lot like the one Yote is using in the above video.

The bow weight is 1 LB 12 OZ (with string and two cat whiskers string silencers). For comparison the mass weight of a 64” Black Widow PL is the same at 1 3/4 pounds (per their web page). The Thunderhorn Linx Small Fry Strap-on Quiver adds another 10 OZ for a total weight of 2 LB 6 OZ (with quiver, string and two cat whiskers string silencers) - plus arrows.

I seriously considered purchasing a Wolfer, but I didn’t have the need another recurve since my Black Widow PSA is still going strong. So, when the CoyWolf, with the hybrid longbow limbs, came along I was tempted once again. Unfortunately (for my wallet) I was able to handle the CoyWolf at the BHA Rendezvous and ordered one to my specifications.

There are many quality and beautiful bows available, so I appreciate how difficult it is to choose without handling one. I would give Robertson a call to see if they have a loaner bow, or try before you buy program, to make sure it will work for you. For me, the CoyWolf is a perfect fit and craftsmanship is outstanding. I have no hesitation recommending the CoyWolf or any other Robertson bow.

Good Hunting, Ross

Thanks for the info!

You are very welcome. Sorry I didn't catch the fact that this was an older post that you had resurrected. I hope you get a chance to shoot a CoyWolf to determine if meets your shooting style. Good Luck.

Good Hunting, Ross

Great bows, I've owned a few variations of Wolfers and currently have a Coywolf and a Coypup. The pup is just a simpler version without the grip and riser overlays, often plain woods but there's a nice bocote coypup on his website now. Result is a slimmer grip, and usually a cheaper bow. He's got several coywolfs for sale, and is running a %15 off sale...I'm not sure if you could apply that and still have the "try out" return option, but I'd certainly recommend it if you can.

Thanks everyone for your input. Much appreciated!

Here is the Coypup ready for action.
