Anyone have an experience with the Bivouac Backland recurve or longbow? Looking for a fairly durable bow that I dont have to worry about beating up or damaging like I do my wood bow.
Had one and sold it not due to lack of quality, I just found I didn’t like ILF bows. They are super awesome to talk with and they build a great bow. I have a shorter draw but felt like it drew and shot beautifully.
I haven't had much to do with them but was hanging out with a mate recently who owns one. He was shooting it around camp and I had a few shots as well. I've never held a riser like that before but it was really nice and forgiving to shoot. It was also pretty quiet which surprised me. If I was in the market for a bow of that style I'd buy one without hesitation.
jim belcher has forgotten more about bow building than most of us will ever know. The backland is as good as it gets for an ILF longbow riser. I'll be picking one up this winter. Had a chance to shoot one with recurve limbs and was very impressed. I think it will be just the ticket for longbow limbs.
Really like mine. Had it for a few months now. Very easy to shoot and very quiet. I've not had any quality issues with the riser or longbow limbs. If you're looking for an ILF longbow I'd definitely recommend the Backland.
