The Montana is a slight r/d design, not a straight longbow.

My Bushmen is a R/D. I've shooting it the past few evenings after work. I got the 3555 Gold Tips tuned and flyin pretty damn good out of it. They wound up 28.5" long. I've got the 100gr. inserts and using a 175gr. point. The total weight is around 515gr. I can keep a 3 arrow group in the vitals on a deer target consistently from 15 yards. Still working on those 20 yard groups. My goal is to get consistent out to 25 yards so I can get that first kill with a trad bow this season.

Been looking at some other bows. I would love to get one that pulls around 42 to 43# at 26". I really like the look of the Big Jim Thunder Child. But they are hard to come by and pricey.
Hey brother,If you are interested in an affordable custom built long bow,I highly recommend Bama Bows,or Lost creek long bows,both Nate,and Chad are top notch guy's and build a heck of a bow for a fraction of the cost of the other high end bow builders.


I would rather be turkey hunting
