Heel style bows. A heel style. A straight laid ASL longbow tends to have more hand shock. They are slower and I just didn't know if I wanted to get into that market. The longer riser, the thinner fade outs to soak up the energy. The aggressive tapers to give it speed and smoothness. The 2 degree backset so that it's got a little string follow, but it's also got a little back set to make this bow perform flawlessly. The last thing I want to talk about in our heel bow is our handle. And we can still build the straight riser heel style bows if somebody prefers that. Very smooth and very minimal on the hand shock. One more shot here. So that's it. That's the ASL hill style longbow from Great Plains.
