Long Bow and Custom Arrows for shotgun or? links to photos

[sar]

I have a kohanna fury wooden longbow that is 78# at 28 inches draw. Additionally I have 6 custom ash arrows and 12 laminated birch custom arrows all of which are spined correctly for this bow.
I'm looking for a shotgun, something like an 870 that's good all around. A levergun capable of handling 45 Long Colt +p would also be great.
I'll certainly look at other options as well, but the above get priority. Oh, sidelock muzzleloaders (percussion or flint) are also high up there.

Tonight I'll take some pictures and post.

I'm hurting myself by saying this, but if you don't currently shoot traditional bows and know you can handle this poundage, I'd recommend against you getting this bow. It's quite hefty and unlike compound bows, there's no let off. I'd like to trade, but I would really like to know that the bow is getting used somewhere. It's a bit much for me since I've had shoulder problems and have dropped back to lighter bows. This bow will launch a 750 or 800 grain arrow with force though and would be a good big game bow for the traditional hunter. It's also good as a "workout" bow.

lam birch arrows are tapered without points. The ash arrows have 145 grain field tips on 4. 2 have broadheads (160 grain snuffer, and 160 grain ribtek)

Sar,

I am probably the only person on this forum shooting a longbow (or traditional anything for that matter).

78# @ 28 inches is pretty stout as you have already mentioned. Your bow may be pretty tough to "move" on a gun oriented forum.

I certainly don't need another one...as I have 4 custom longbows already.



My suggestion FWIW...is to try to sell it outright on ebay or on a traditional archery forum.

Good luck Sir.

You're most likely right, but I figured I'd give it a shot over here before trying at TG. I'll give a few more days then try over there.
