Good video, I paid a visit to your shop this morning to purchase some accessories for my bear super grizzly I purchased there last September your staff is amazing no pressure and very helpful. The old mountain bow came up in our conversation and I got the privilege of shooting one and after the first shot I was sold on it and purchased one in the poundage I prefer, for the money this is a fine shooting bow . Thanks to you and your staff for having a great place to shop on most Saturdays and another thing the two gentleman working today actually recommended my wife and I from last year that usually doesn’t happen, we could have talked to them all day but things got busy and that is good for you 😊
Really helpful review for a prospective buyer. I'm new to bows but the Super Grizzly keeps coming up... I am interested in dipping my toes with a $200'ish one piece recurve or longbow for my next purchase. How do they compare?
Bought one when they were on sale for $200.00 great bow for the money .which proves you don’t have to spend a small fortune to enjoy archery. Same goes for the samik sage
It's about time you got a review up for that bow. I would have bought one sooner. They are really good bows my nephew still loves the one I got him a few weeks ago. Thanks Three Rivers 👍👍
For split finger, 5/8" above center is normally a good starting point. Best to use a bow square for accuracy: www.3riversarchery.com/3rivers-archery-bow-square.html
Yes, the Mesa longbow (especially the 64" model) can be drawn to 30" draw length. One thing to note on arrow weight is the bow will be heavier at 30" draw as it is rated 35# @ 28" draw, so be sure to bump up arrow weight to match. Assuming two pounds per inch, it would be a 39# @ 30" bow, so 8 GPP is 312 grains.
They are shipping to us here this week (fingers crossed) so it will still be several weeks until this shipment arrives. We are not taking back orders yet (as not set delivery time), but you can sign up for a "back in stock" email notice on the product page.
I believe the math behind it would say they should translate. Personally, I'd expect it to be at least slightly slower, but I've not tested it to see at different draw weights with same GPP if you get same speeds. I'll give it a try when I can though.
Yes, the 64" Mesa longbow will do great with a 29" draw length. You will add about 2 pounds to the pull at that draw compared to what the bow is rated at.
It will vary from bow to bow, but start 6.75" to 7.5" as a starting range. Slight tuning of this measurement helps with performance. Give us a call if you run into issues though.
We are trying. Being an import bow the delivery times have been dragged out this past 1.5 years with Covid delays. Plus, a lot higher demand these past couple years has them selling out faster than expected. Which is why putting in a backorder helps. As you are reserving a spot for one coming.
