I bought this bow originally from Tom
Parsons, a respected bowyer in his own
right. John made it for him, his 3rd for
him as you can see from the description
and signature on the riser. It has four
bamboo laminates, faced with black glass
on the belly and face, marked "American
Longbow" on one limb, and "The Legend" on
the other. It pulls 55@28".
Tom took immaculate care of his bows - he
often had samples other bowyers would send
him to shoot. (I learned from him when he
saw me shooting my Bighorn Takedown on the
range. I haven't shot it in 3 yrs, it's
been stored laying on it's side in an air
conditioned room and is in near mint
condition. I can't shoot it because of a
back injury. (though if you have a
Robertson Stickbow or Blackwidow 45lb @28
I'd consider a trade (recurves)).
I've seen comments saying this is too high
a price; well, there aren't going to be
anymore made, Schulz was taught by Hill
how to build bows, and from the prices on
custom bows today, I'd say it's a
reasonable price. It comes with a string
and a really nice Elk skin case.
Reasonable offers entertained.More pics on
request.
