October Mountain Strata Longbow 62 In. 40 Lbs. Rh

The October Mountain Strata Longbow 62 In. 40 Lbs. Rh is a traditional recurve-style hunting bow designed for serious archers seeking authentic field performance without modern compound mechanics. Built for hunters, competitive archers, and traditional bowhunters who value simplicity, reliability, and the refined discipline of longbow shooting, the Strata delivers consistent accuracy across varied hunting conditions and distances. This 62-inch, right-hand configuration strikes an ideal balance between portability and stability, making it equally suited for whitetail hunting in timber, 3D courses, or the hunting camp.

The Strata is hand-crafted from premium cassia siamea and padauk hardwoods, selected for grain consistency and natural flex characteristics that define a smooth, predictable draw cycle. Reinforced black fiberglass limbs provide durability and consistent energy return shot after shot, while reinforced limb tips protect against string wear and field damage—critical when hunting remote locations where replacement limbs aren't accessible. Fast Flight string compatibility allows shooters to upgrade to modern high-performance string materials while maintaining the bow's traditional aesthetic and feel. At 1.9 lbs, the Strata remains lightweight enough for extended hunting days without sacrificing the mass weight necessary for stable arrow flight and forgiving forgiveness on imperfect form.

The 40 lbs draw weight suits hunters across a wide skill spectrum—sufficient for ethical medium-game hunting and whitetail while remaining accessible to archers developing their strength and technique. Right-hand configuration is standard for the vast majority of shooters. Traditional longbow shooters appreciate the direct connection between archer and bow, with no let-off or mechanical advantage; success depends entirely on proper form, anchor point consistency, and shot execution. Pair the October Mountain Strata with wood arrows and natural fiber strings for authentic setup, or modernize with Fast Flight compatible alternatives to reduce hand shock and improve consistency in cold weather.
