The Mantis Tribute
A homage to Gene Sanders Mantis longbow using his original bow form.
In Honor of a Legend
Legendary bowyer, Gene Sanders, crafted the original Mantis R/D longbow and won adoration from shooters around the country. When Gene passed away in 2015 a great loss came over the shooting community and it was thought his Mantis would be lost forever.
Gene Passed away in 2015. A close friend of Gene contacted me about buying his forms. I never met Gene myself, but when a close friend of his contacted me to use Gene’s Mantis form I was humbled by the opportunity. The Mantis Tribute is named after the original Mantis and crafted using Mr. Sanders own form.
The Mantis Tribute comes in 58”, 60”, 62” and 63”. Limb tips are re-enforced for fast flight strings and buttery draw.
