I just recieved a new bow as a gift from a good friend here on PA, who shall remain nameless due to his humility. If you wish to come forward, please do so. It's a mollegabet, quarter sawn hard maple with a hickory back. 59" NTN, pulls about 70# at my draw of 28". This bow is incredible. If any of you have not tried the molle design, you really should. This thing pulls very smooth, is virtually silent, and flings arrows with authority. They hit like a freight train. I hate to admit it, but I'm a recent convert from the compound world, little over a year ago. I think this bow would fair well against any wheelie. I think with sufficient arrow weight I could get a complete pass through on any unsuspecting Volkswagon. Anyway, great bow from a master bowyer. Thanks, I cannot wait for hunting season. Enjoy the pics, and ignore the big ugly ape holding it!

Cool bow for sure. I dont know about the pass through on a vw :) Maybe if the windows were down :D
Looks like Half eyes work to me ;) I could be wrong. Very nice bow indeed

Yeah, Rich likes the Moll's... he was the first person I thought of too. Maybe it's not him, but that's my guess at this point.

Well Rich tattled on himself in a previous post LOL ;D Very nice bow indeed!
-
Beautiful bow!
Yep...Rich

It's a brute, goth! A thing of "authoritative" beauty, to be sure! Volkswagen? You'll fill up the freezer quicker if you go right for a Buick! ;D

Nate,
leave it to you to remember that one line. Just about got Wolfsongforge's new bow done.....another beast. Any stonger and I guess I can stand on the string to check weight. Got a couple in the works for some fellas, but they are more in my range (50-55#)

Make sure you catch the deer with a tree behind it so you can find your arrow ;D Nice work Rich and Nice work Goth for pullin that sucker back.Looks to be no sweat ;)
-
Just made one per Rich's help. It is really fast fast at 50 lbs. I Had it higher, but getting old now , Can't keep up with you young fellows.Dandy bow you got and a good friend too>>> Denny

Very nice bow!
-
Outstanding work on this bow. It looks so MEAN!! Great lines, super tiller. At 70 lbs. I know it is a screamer.
-
To borrow a phrase from my youngest, "that bow is tight" ;D I've admired that design since the first time I saw one. I have to try building one someday.
-
Does look mean for sure, good job on that bow.
-
Very nice!
-
Thanks for the comments boys. Yep, it was created by Rich. I'll tell ya, I'm really sold on this design. I haven't shot primitive for long, and not as many designs as most of ya, but Molle's flat ROCK. I'm gonna try my hand at a few after I finish up the bow I've just started. Come to think of it, I have a new idea about even this one.....
-
Anybody have info on the design, dimensions etc? How is it different from a Holmie, etc? Can it be made as a self bow?
-
Look at the link posted above, Rich posted pics in it with dimensions. And Yes, I know for a fact it can be made as a self bow, and a powerfil and beautiful one at that. Just like any other design, chase a ring or quarter sawn with NO runoff.
-
Looks like a no nonsense deer killer.
HOORAH!!! No better description.

Hey Gothmog
