What is the Old Mountain Sniper Longbow?

The Old Mountain Sniper is a 66" traditional longbow that masterfully bridges the gap between classic aesthetics and contemporary bowyer science. It’s designed for the archer who appreciates the simplicity of a longbow but demands the smoothness and power.

• Premium Construction: Crafted from select hardwoods under exclusive high pressure, the bow boasts exceptional durability and resilience.

• Optimized Mass Weight: The Sniper features a clever mass weight distribution, with more weight gathered towards the handle. This design isn't accidental; it significantly improves the bow's balance and stability, leading to steadier aiming and more consistent shooting.

• Smooth Draw Cycle: One of the most praised features is its draw feel. The long limbs provide a remarkably smooth draw without "stacking" (a rapid increase in draw weight at the end of the pull), making it comfortable to shoot even at higher poundages.

Modern Engineering in a Traditional Package

While it honors the longbow's classic form, the Sniper incorporates modern materials for enhanced performance:

• Bamboo & Carbon & Fiberglass: The limbs feature a core of sturdy Bamboo and carbon, sandwiched between a clear fiberglass face and back. This combination delivers optimal energy transfer for impressive arrow speed and power.

• Birds Eye Maple Accents: Beyond performance, the bow is built to last. The inclusion of birds eye maple not only adds a touch of exquisite beauty but also contributes to the limb's overall durability and structural integrity.

How Does It Compare? A Shooter's Perspective

Steven doesn't just describe the specs; he offers a practical perspective based on hands-on experience. He discusses how the Sniper Longbow compares to other bows on the market, including both traditional longbows and recurves.

The consensus? The Old Mountain Sniper stands out. Its arguable superiority comes from its unique ability to eliminate the common drawbacks of traditional longbows—such as hand shock and a harsh draw—while retaining their pure, instinctive shooting experience. It offers the smoothness of a recurve with the quiet, straightforward soul of a longbow, creating a uniquely enjoyable and effective shooting platform.
