Primal Tech - Recurve Build

[helical]

Hey fellas, thought I would share some of the build process that Randy Madden puts into his traditional bows. He’s working on a recurve at the moment so I will include milestone pics as/if he shares them during the build.

If you have not had the opportunity to see a Primal Tech up close, hopefully this post will provide a sense for the attention to detail, materials quality, and Randy’s world class craftsmanship (it’s really cool to know a guy with this level of mechanical skill).

Appreciated.

Here are a few pictures of the build to date:
1 - Riser block
2 - Limb laminations
3 - G10 Center flare block

My next build is coming up soon. It's true he is genuinely gifted in making bows that are works of art.
But his bows also have a functionality comparable to any out there and better than any other I've shot.
I'd be sure to work with him closely on grip style and fit.
But you will get a bow second to none in fit and finish, quiet and smooth, shoots hard and fast and one you'll be proud to carry to the club shoot or the deer stand.
And tell him to get you an extra Hunter's Choice Bowstring for it so you have a backup after you run 10,000 arrows through it between now and hunting season!

Hey DRT… Fully agree.

It’s one thing to build something that looks cool, but to build a dynamic tool that performs like a Primal Tech, well,.. that’s a different thing altogether…

By the way, your and Bisch’s PTs are some real beauties..
