Howard- I wished to post you an additional photo of Brad's bull taken with your bow. In this view it looks small than some other photos, but it was fully 1750 pounds and tough as any buffalo gets. It was a pleasure to guide him on this hunt and I was very happy to be involved in taking the largest American animal killed with your bow. You certainly deserve grand accolades for the accomplishment of manufacturing such a fine product. Frank Medicine Wolf Springer |
Dear Liberty Archery, Congratulations on making one hell of a bow. Early this fall a friend of mine drove 2 hours to order his Liberty 1. When he got it he asked me to set it up for him and try it out. I usually keep up to date with current technology and was shooting a Bow Tech just purchased in 06. He wanted me to let him know if it was up to snuff with my Bow Tech. At first I looked at it and thought it's cute but didn't expect much from it. I figured you'd have to give up a lot in order to make a bow that small and light. I WAS MISTAKEN. The first shot out of the Liberty 1 was all I needed to start wanting one. There were two friends with me at the time and none of us could believe how quick and quite the bow was. I took turns shooting the same arrows from my bow and then from the Liberty1. The Liberty one was consistently quiter and faster than mine with no more hand shock and that was without a stabilizer on it. |
That was all it took. After giving my buddy his bow back I started on a mission to get a local shop to become a dealer. After a couple of weeks it happened and I ordered mine. I recieved it the week before PA whitetail archery season started so the race was on to get comfortable enough with it to responsibly take it into the woods. After a couple of days, 50 or so shots, 2 busted arrow shafts and countless vanes being destroyed by stacking shots on top of them I felt I could comfortably hunt with it. I was consistently smacking arrows at 20 yards, putting them in a snuff can at 30, and in 4-5" groups at 50. After hunting around my job schedule I took time off and worked around my hunting schedule. It paid off! I passed up 4 or 5 different bucks waiting for a shot at one of three that I had been watching. On Nov 3rd it happened. One of the three picked up the scent trail I left and followed it all too well right to my stand. He stood directly under the tree and sniffed the climbing stick when his rack hit it made a nice "tink!!" it scared the hell out of him and he bolted out to 15 yards then slowed to a walk. He was moving straight away so I couldn't get a shot. He walked to 20, then to 25. he had no intention of stopping or giving me a shot so at 25 yards I grunted. He stopped at 30 yards and looked over his left shoulder. Already at full draw, from when he startled himself and ran, I saw a window behind his left rib and hit the release. The arrow entered right right where the 30 yard pin was aimed for and exitted his right shoulder. He ran less than 80 yards and dropped. He is my widest spread buck to date. His inside spread is 21" and he is a 10 point. He hasn't been scored yet but I'm guessing right around 140. His dressed weight was over 200 lbs. He is quite a trophy and I'm glad I had the Liberty 1 to take him with. Check out the pics I've included. Thanks again for a GREAT bow. Kevin Miller Russellton, PA |
I was amazed at the size, speed accuracy and efficiency of this bow. I hunt all over the world and will stand by this bow and recommend this bow over any compound all day long. I just hope to see some dealer's that know the bow to start exposing it to the sport and TSince being back to the states TSince being back to the states everyone that sees this bow is truly amazed at the size, speed accuracy and efficiency of this bow. I hunt all over the world and will stand by this bow and recommend this bow over any compound all day long. I just hope to see some dealer's that know the bow to start exposing it to the sport and allowing people the chance to use this incredible bow. Brad Mandarich (Below) |
I shoot at least 5 times per week. I have never shot this bow and. I was a bit skeptical, but was convinced and sold my two there bows (Matthews Drenaline & and Oneida Eagle). This bow is more accurate, lighter, quieter, and smaller than any other bow on the market. There is no hand shock or necessary. I back up this statement by purchasing a 2nd liberty for my father with the same results. I am in Fl in the winter. Anyone who wants to try this bow for themselves, or just watch me shoot it is welcome to come over to the house. I read a previous post that "you can only use certain arrow rests on this bow" this is not true. I started with a Whisker Biscut, changed to a Hostage arrow rest by Diamond archery, and now shoot a full containment drop away rest by Quality Archery designs. All of them work fine, as well as any other arrow rest you want to put on the bow. Some also say "you need a special peep sight" I use a Specialty archery 37 degree standard peep, it works fine. Some say "you need a special sight" It has a mounting holes just like any other bow, I have tried 3 different sights, they all mount fine. Same thing with hunting quiver. The think that people don't understand is that this is just like any other bow, it's just smaller, lighter, etc. You still have the same draw length, anchor point, you can use sight, etc. as any other bow. You don't have to worry about this bow "blowing up" or "coming apart" any more often than a Hoyt or a Matthews. If you can't shoot accurate with this bow, you simply should give up archery. It is the most accurate bow you will shoot hands down. Davelhunter |
Email from Marc I just got My new Liberty the photo it is next to my switchback and My Allegiance which are both short bows! This thing is tiny pulling it back the first couple times. By the third shot I was hitting arrows! This is the best I have ever shot with a bow right out of the box. It is going to take a I just got My new Liberty little getting used to and I am sure I will shoot it better am sure I will shoot it better when I install a sling. There was almost no hand shock and when I put a stabilizer on it, the extra weight made the bow easier to hold and smoothed it right out. This thing is way to kool!!! ---Marc |
Hi there, Liberty 1 bow here in the UK. justice. Superbly engineered, kicks ass! I am so excited by the look and feel of the bow - what a fantastic piece of kit. I've let off a few arrows in the garden - so quiet and deadly accurate. Hutting by bow is not allowed in the UK but it's great in the field and really draws some admiring looks. Well done - I'm very happy. Please feel free to use me as a reference here in the UK if you have cause to need a reference point. Martin Moore |

Some time ago I talked to you and then introduced you to my son, Matt, (Offensive tackle for the New England Patriots) for whom you later manufactured and set-up a bow. I was in Boston this weekend for a game and Matt and I had a chance to do some hunting, but more importantly, I had a chance to shoot the bow. I must admit that it was far better than I expected on accuracy and consistency. I would like to purchase a bow and all accessories as Matt's bow, except I would like a bow in the 55-65 pound range set up at 60 pounds draw weight. Yes, I also shoot at 32-inch draw length. I used to shoot demo archery for Fred Bear back in the 60's (flying targets), but I never would have expected to be able to shoot pure instinctive with your bow. I was pleasantly surprised that I could. Fred like you was a good engineer. Back in the days when GM was deciding to use fiberglass springs on the Corvette, my brother Bob, who was an engineering manager for Inland Division of GM, explained to GM that the technology required already was complete in Fred's process at Grayling, MI. Fred gave the technology of linear spun glass to GM at no charge. Again, I am extremely impressed with your engineering skill. Please send me a bill and a delivery date. I am getting older, so hopefully the wait won't be too long. Thanks, William C Light |
comments = Howard. I bought my liberty from you this past winter. I am finally getting to shoot it outdoors and to say it shoots well is an understatement.I literally can not shoot two arrows at the same target without ruining arrows, even at 40 yards. Every time I look at my bow I am blown away by your ability to think outside the box, and make this jewel.I sure hope you are successful in this venture. Carl Jensen |
comments = Fast unbelievably quite & most of all, the most awsome bow ill probably ever shoot in my time! Thanks for a bow that fills like it was made for me personally. All I can say is WOW! Clint Slatcoff, Valparasio Indiana. |
I love my Liberty bow! I shoot with a inertia drop- away rest Vital Gear HoloPino sight (you do not need a peep) and I found my bow likes stiff heavy arrows. They really quiet it down. When I bought the rest the archery shop owner’s son helped set the rest up with me ( I think he just wanted to see it shoot). After 20 arrows I was hitting a quarter size dot at 20 and 30 yards (broke 3 nocks). When I went back into the shop area to pay for the rest the owner (a Mathews Dealer) (as he held my bow) made several comments about the short piece of junk (my bow) and it couldn’t shoot well. His son told his Dad he better shut up, because he just watched that junk screem arrows into nickels at 30 yards. Several people were checking the bow out before I left. It seems every time I take the bow out people want to see it shoot (they think it’s a kids bow or a joke until they see how well it shoots.) I know a couple of people we bought a Liberty after they looked at mine, they love theirs too. Thanks for making a quality product. Ron |
comments = AWESOME! The one and only word that can describe this uniquehunting instrument. At first sight I went "WHAT?" I guess some of usold hunters have certain concepts of what a hunting bow should look like.his caused some apprehension on my part, however, my local supplier said to take it and try it. Two hours later I was back in the store closing the deal. Since then I have tuned and sighted in both field pointsand broadheads. Great speed and accuracy (some bows just won't give youboth) In fifty years of hunting I've never carried anything so easily through the woods and I'm hunting in some thick Florida woods and swamps. My confidence level in this equipment is higher than anything else I've ever carried. The only problem I see is your marketing efforts. Few hunters have ever seen or heard of this bow. Although that may not be aproblem for me because in the off hunting season I shoot 3-D tournaments and I know this will give me an advantage in that arena as we!ll. Once you start an extensive marketing effort I'll surely lose that advantage. Please keep me updated on any upgrades (although I can't see and reason for any) via e-mail.

comments = I saw your Liberty 1 bow today at an archery dealer in Albany, NY. I have to admit, seeing it for the first time, I thought it to be a promotional mock-up the dealer took it down and shot it. I have to say it takes an awful lot to impress me. I am Impressed. You might his draw and release is what made me realize, This bow is the next step in the evolution of bow hunting. REMOTE_HOST: 70.18.97.176 |
This summer my son came over with a magazine to show me this big write-up on some new radical bow. I read it and thought, hmmm, seems interesting. I have always been one who liked to be different, and figured with the guarantee I had nothing to lose. I figured I'd get this new Liberty thing and shoot it, and most likely send it back, but at least I could tell people I tried it. Well, I still have it, and it is amazing. Super light, amazing let off, super quiet, and incredibly accurate. I can tell you right now that if you gave every beginning archer one of your bows, you would have many lifetime archery addicts. This Liberty I bow is absolutely wonderful. It is perfectly balanced, and very easy to hold on target. My 40 yard groups are easily inside of 5 inches now, and my 50 yard groups are under 12 inches, and that is with very little practice. I don't get much time to shoot. I am so happy with how light this bow is and how easy it is to shoot very consistently and accurately. I am leaving tomorrow to go archery elk hunting for the first time. I am so confident with the Liberty I, that I know if I get a shot inside of 50 yards I will have an elk this archery season. My son is right handed, and he shot my bow the other day and couldn't believe it shooting opposite handed! He is planning on ordering one as soon as he can save the cash. One other thing, I took it to the local pro shop with me the other day and I couldn't get out of there. Everyone wanted to look at it, draw it, watch me shoot it. It was rediculous. Most people hadn't ever seen it, but some had seen it in a magazine. One of the local well known archers said I should set up a stand and start selling them! I told him I wouldn't need to be much of a salesman, these bows would sell themselves if people just had one here to test out. The price is well worth the performance and the great advantage of having a super short and light bow. (cheaper than a lot of other top bows out there!) I'll probably be ordering another for a backup, I don't think I'll ever want to shoot any other bow. -- One very happy Liberty I owner -- |
Finely getting to shoot it outdoors and to say it shoots well is an same target without ruining arrows, even at 40 yards. Every time I look at my bow I am blown away by your ability to think outside the box, and make this jewel. Roy Guidry Jr |
