Received my custom forward handle straight limb longbow by Ryan Benoit. 68", 40@29". Red cedar lams under dark gray glass, myrtle riser, beaver tail grip and rest. Superb workmanship - absolutely flawless. However, it shoots even better. With my 29.5" draw, it is loving 57# cedars with 100 gr tophat points. Very little handshock, barely noticeable. I asked for even tiller and he nailed it. A friend tried it and I had a tough time getting it back. If you are looking for a very reasonably priced quality product, I highly recommend Ryan. Find him at Benoit Bows and Woodcraft on net or FB. Good Shooting.

Can we get an unstrung profile picture? How much string follow does it have?

Thanks Mike for the post and review! My ASLs are built on a straight form and finished with 1/4" to 1/2" of string follow. - Ryan Benoit

Bow limbs are dead straight, although it is offered in reflex or string follow. A local bowyer here tried it today and now wants one. Tried it with 500 carbons with 100 gr points. Shot very fast and flat with very little thump. Bow shoots carbons better than i would have guessed. Highly recommend Ryan’s bows.
