Got this Mikuta Longbow in for a customer just in time for hunting season. Finally got some pics of the bow. The bow is 58" 46# at 27". Brown Actionwood limbs, Hunters Blend riser with small thumb rest. Bow is Left Hand...

Its a Looker Joe.  :D

I like Ed's bows. They're always lookers.

They are lookers! But better than that they are shooters too!!

Well it is not really a longbow       but it looks well and is supposed to shoot even better.

It really is a longbow. It meets all the criteria to qualify at any shoot I know of as a longbow. Shawn

Joe...it is a longbow. The riser is quite a bit "meatier" than your standard narrow longbow grip. This type of grip/riser with the thumb rest makes the transition easier for shooters going from recurve to longbow. I personally don't shoot longbows well with the Hill grip or one thats dished. The mass in the riser totally eliminates any and all hand shock plus the grip w/thumb rest puts your hand in exactly the same spot every time and helps eliminate torquing. Here are a few more pics of the riser/grip...

wow!!!!!!!!! dandy bow!!!  

I LIKE IT!!!!!    

Thats a really good picture of my wife's bow too  

Looks very similar to a Fedora grip. I love those grips!!
That's a nice lookin' stick.

Nice!

sweet lookin bow and made for a lady no less awesome! hEY jOE DOES YOUR SHOP HAVE A WEBSITE?

Very nice! Hunters Blend riser-Action or Dymondwood?

The Hunters Blend is Actionwood, very subtle looking in the woods. Jeffreys use to call his multi colored risers, Mtn Camo...it does blend nice.

Nice looking bow Joe......

Dave...I'm bringing both bows to the bunny hunt so you can shoot mine. Bringing you Kwik Styk right? I'm also bringing the Kempf Stealth to play around with. Should be fun....

Good Joe, yup I will be bringing the Kwyk Styk, probably a selfbow or two also.  I'm looking forward to it.....


David

Sure is pretty, and yes they shoot as good as they look  

Hey Joe!!!!! Did you get to "bloody" your new Mikuta yet?????

Kevin and I are bringing our Mikuta longbows to the "Bunny Hunt".

Anyone there is more than welcome to try them out  

Please do not take me too serious when I say it is not really a longbow. Therefore I put a smiley after that statement. For all that shoot 3D tornaments I found an interesting rule in the IFAA  rule book:

7. Longbow - (L.B.)
a. A one piece straight ended bow of any material, which when strung displays one
continued unidirectional curve, which is measured as follows:
When the strung bow is placed with the bowstring in a vertical position, the angle
as measured between the tangent of any point on the limb and an imaginary
horizontal line must always decrease as this point is moved further away from the
bow grip.
