I happened upon yet another unknown longbow and would like to reach out the community to try to solve the bower mystery.
Most likely from Illinois. It is a 63.5" nock to nock self bow with hickory back and cedar belly. Have a sort of english longbow/pyramid bow shape to the handle area.
42# draw, shoots really well and quiet but the hand shock is a bit much, it only weighs 1 pound 2oz!
Any info on who the bower may be would be appreciated. Thanks!

No idea of the builder, but doubt it's someone who produced bows commercially.

Orion. That's very likely. It came from a large collection of longbows that a local Davis IL bower bought when someone passed away. so not much info from their.
Seems strange there are not markings at all on this bow.

I'm hoping that someone from that area will see this and recognise the maker or maybe even have one in their collection.
