New Bow!!

A central place to talk about weapons and armour, as it relates to your kit. This is where you show it of or talk about making it. Discussing the relative merits of types of weapons goes in the WMA section.

Looks gorgeous! May I ask what it's made of, and what weight it draws?

I've got two bows from Rudderbows. Jim was always a pleasure to deal with.

They changed the website and removed a TON of their products recently, and I've heard rumors that Jim actually sold the company. A shame if true.

Congrats on the bow, it looks lovely.

Doesn't list any retailers, either.

I'm going to try and call or email Jim soon and see if he really has sold the company. Definitely bad news IMO if he has, he's been one of the leading makers in the traditional bow market for well over a decade and is always who I recommend.

After Peter listed that page, and I was already there, it dawned on me! I had AdBlock enabled! so I disabled it, refreshed the page, and a whole list of retailers popped up! :oops: thanks Peter!
