| Oooh yes! (bestest Churchill voice!) I had a play around with a pre-production model drawing just 38# I've also had a faff about with the later production bows, although they've only been manufactured upto 46# at present. Very, very smooth drawing bow, quite a bit quicker than any of the other KG Trad bows with very little shock compared to the older modes. DEFINATELY recommended! (Or it will be when Keith finally makes me my 75# take-down model!)

| If memory serves (and to be honest, it usually serves a double fault) I think it's 66" For £260 It's a bloomin steal! Definatley the nicest shooting Trad bow that Keith's ever made.

| Osprey This bow is wonderful , I had the pleasure of shooting two of them today by far the smoothest Trad / bare bow I have ever shoot the first one I shoot was 48 lbs I could not believe it was so heavy it just did'nt feel like that draw weight at all. Osage for the riser wood but the limbs were made of a wood I havent heard of before and cant remember the name very pretty though. I also had a go of Keiths new Proto type carbon atlanta that is also really sweet, but I did drop a cod the handle / grip is so like my recurve that i forgot to grip it and it bounced down the shooting range embarressed or what  The bow wasn't even finished adrian bought it down from the workshop for me too try. May be worth a fonze this one.Nick

| While we're on the subject of Keith's bows... has anyone here ever shot one of his longbows? If so how did it perform? BTW I mean the full length version, not the take-down/carriage bow.

| I've shot many of Keith's longbows, but to be honest, very few others. I was impressed with the build quality & cast of the bows, but having shot very few others I wouldn't feel qualified to give you a fair comparison to, say, one of Pip's. I have heard nothing but favourable comparisons from far more experienced longbow shooters though.
