My first gift bow
« on: May 27, 2012, 08:48:32 pm »
I received my first ever gift bow this weekend in Marshall from my BBB Chris (Blackhawk). Its 62", 55# @ 26 and has boa skins with horn tips. Its a bit of an R/D style bow with some serious early string tension and smooth draw. I have to spend some alone time with her and figure how how she needs to be held and what arrows she digs. Once I get that part done Im confident she will spit fire as most of his demon bows do  >:D

Thanks again buddy!

Yup, saw Chris making that one at the classic. Knew  Before he shot it that it was going to be one heck of a shooter . Congrats again.

One that's laminated, but I was pretty sure from looking at it that it wasn't.  Really impressive to do it with a stave.  Very nice work.

I was just pickin on you George!

WOW!~ Its amazing what the right bullets will do for a gun. I shot this bow a handful of times when Chris gave it to me and knew it had a some wang, I just didnt have the right ammo to prove it. I shot some 28"  55-60 POC from her and she spits a perfect arrow every time.....................that was easy! Thanks again buddy..................I guess I owe ya' one now....;)
