There are my dusty users.
been too long
I also have a td recurve with two sets of limbs, I bought 30? Years ago a light 60”55# set and a heavier 64” 66# set
They’re both too heavy for me now.

Is that longbow a Hoyt Sky bow?

Is that longbow a Hoyt Sky bow?

Wow. No, it’s a Sauk Trail something or other reflex deflex long bow. I helped make it to some small extent i guess.
The wow part is that my takedown I mentioned but not pictured is in fact a Sky bow. A Hunter t/d. And it’s personalized to me and signed by none other than Earl Hoyt jr.
It was a super sturdy and solid accurate and fairly fast bow when I bought it. I was popping some small shaft Beman carbon arrows out that sucker at 275 fps.

Back in the 90's I was using the tiny shaft Beman arrows, those things flew fast.

I see, it looks very similar to my Sky longbow.
