Rose City Archery Jay Gonsalves Self Bow

Functional art. Shoots great. The workmanship and materials exude a warmth and class most production bows can only approximate.Mine is marked 35@28 (handwritten.) I draw this bow just a tad over 28 inches. I chronied it at 163fps with approximately 400 grain arrows (31 x 8.4 gpi with 100gr tips, plus insert, feathers, knock, etc.)It came with a nice Flemish string. It is a pleasure to shoot.

Beautiful bow! I'm so happy we decided to go with these instead of the Bear bows we were looking at. We bought 3 of these! Hard to find left hand draw was the deciding factor. 2 out of the 3 bows were signed, all 3 had 28" draw weight and serial number handwritten on them.

Absolutely beautiful bow, shoots like a dream. Quick delivery!

Best purchase I ever made

Great long bow, smooth, no hand shock. Wonderful craftsmanship.

I wanted a non glass bow, although bamboo is natures fiberglass. The bow, 42 lb. is very quiet and shoots and points well. The bow comes with a fast flight string and after communicating with Rose City Archery determined the recommended brace height is 6.5 to 7.0 inches. I am getting great arrow flight, brace 7.0 with a 50# spine arrow cut to 29 ".bop. with a 125 gr point. Remember to unstring the bow after each use as with any all wood bow. The bow is well made, a beautiful work of art, and will be a conversation piece on the hunt or target range.

I have been shooting one of Jay's bows for 2 years now. Always the first one I grab because it is just a pleasure to shoot. All through my long draw (291/2 inches) and following release it is consistently smooth,smooth,smooth. No stacking, no noticeable hand shock, great cast and speed. Again a pleasure to shoot!

After talking with Jay and giving him my specifications, the bow he carved for me exceeded my expectations. It is very beautiful, easy to shoot and smooth. I highly recommend buying one of his bows, as you will not find a finer bow made.
