HAMMER Hybrid Longbow – Build Your Own Bow

Bow photos

The HAMMER Hybrid Longbow is a reflex/deflex “hybrid” longbow. It has about 3-1/2″ of reflex at the tips and 1-1/2″ of deflex at the back of the riser. This is nearly the maximum amount of reflex and deflex that a longbow can have without getting unstable. This bow has a unique feeling draw stroke. As it approaches full draw, you can really feel the reflexed tips turning over and bending the limbs approaching the sweet spot of the draw. The bow is balanced, stable, and really shoots an arrow with authority. I like to say “it hits like a HAMMER and drives nails.”…lol.

My son, Daniel, killed this young Missouri whitetail buck with his HAMMER Hybrid Longbow and a Port Orford cedar arrow. It is a 64″ reflex/deflex longbow that pulls 40#@28″.
