On a side note anyone that ever says WOW You get so much money for Your Bows should watch this Video. The Labor involved and Skill level is amazing.

Love that bow. You did a great job on it. Really like the new riser additions. Some day I'll be ordering a long limbed R/D longbow from you.

Sounds great! Thanks for watching!

My first bow was actually a Stemmler Tartar just like this and I definitely have to agree, it had the FUNKIEST grip I would ever come across. I would LOVE for it to have this kind of modification done to it.

@bowhuntingsoul2149 Год назад

Fantastic video! That’s a lot of work most people never see.

@stevedriscoll2539 Год назад

Unbelievable how much work you did to this bow. It was fascinating to listen to you explaining not only what you were doing but also the reason behind it. I have made some self bows, but they never come out great because of my inability to pay attention to detail, and my commitment to actually finishing the bow. Thanks for this video, very informative and entertaining. I hope my life allows me to watch more of your videos and possibly own one of your bows someday.

I worked on a vintage stemmler and they used a very thin glass, thinner than other contemporary vintage bows. Those stemmlers were made quick cheap and sloppy, as shown on video. Excellent work refurbishing and modernizing that bow. I don’t play with Stemmlers anymore.

Put it under hot water while twisting it the opposite direction. Pearson made a near curve like that for archery in the schools.

I have a couple of stemmlers and the grips suck but they do shoot good

Thanks for making my bow. I am the South Dakota adult male with the Youth Longbow at 45 pounds to my actual draw 24--24.5. I am using for nocking point this piece of ear cartilage just before ear hole as low as I can go while the full finger is touching the cartilage part with top finger using a split finger grip on the string as my nocking point. Thanks for getting it done in time for my birthday December 20th.

@greatplainsbow Год назад

Actually I just finished it today. It'll ship next week

@caseysmith544 Год назад

@@greatplainsbow Thanks for the bow work.

@caseysmith544 Год назад

Bow is upper 50's lower 60's, I am thinking due to the bow being made in the late 1960's. This was a cheaper model of bow but not the cheapest they made, reason why the bow was not in the best of design as it was mass produced faster then higher end models Stemmler made. I think Stemmler made there own bows. The thinking as to why the bow was a bit off in the hand and so skinny was that this model was made for a Teens/11-12 first real bow after they had used a 20 pound kids all fiberglass bow.

Sorry for all the edits on the comment.

@greatplainsbow Год назад

That's interesting. Thanks! I really had no info on it

@caseysmith544 Год назад

@@greatplainsbow It is about all I can find on the bows as the site I used has so little on some brands like Stemmler that are not a Bear, Ben Person, Indian, York, or Shakespear that for business records kept better notes and/or have a big history. I can tell by looking this bow has a 1960's style to it, judging by the almost recurve design my guess is it was just before the time the patent for the Bear modern recurve design was going to expire, so others had to use the Ben Person style of nearly recurve as he allowed brands to use his patent for a small fee as Bear had set the fee really high for use of his patent each year. The other Manufactures had to do this or use the older Static Recurve that was not really used at the time, only for some lesser bows mainly all fiberglass models.

Can you share a list of products that I need to refinish my old recurve bow. I'm down to the glass.

@greatplainsbow 6 месяцев назад

Sure, but I think it'd be easier if we visited on the phone. Would that be an option for you?

@debeli6 5 месяцев назад

Man you're a wizard. I'm planning to restore my one piece longbow. I would like to stain the riser. But I'm afraid that the stain is going to go into the laminates And maybe cause delamination. What's your thought on that. Is it possible to stain edges of the lamination when a sand bow dow and not mess up the bow?

@greatplainsbow 5 месяцев назад

You should be just fine staining it just don't let the stain sit before you wipe it off. As far as the limb edges it'll work fine again just wipe it the stain that gets on the glass off right way. If you don't get it off before it dries, no problem just dampen a rag with laquer finish and wipe the stain off the glass. It'll come right off
