Title: 7 Lakes Archery Nightshade?
Post by: Mike Bolin on June 06, 2023, 11:56:20 AM

Wondering if any of you have shot a 7 Lakes Nightshade? A friend of mine (several states away from me) has one and speaks very highly of it. The pictures of the Nightshade on the 7 Lakes website are pretty impressive. Not looking to buy one, just interested to hear if any of you are familiar with it. Thanks!

I haven't shot the nightshade, but its a dead ringer profile wize to a Big Jim's Thunderchild.  Which BTW is a very well made bow, quiet, no hand shock, and some real beauties.

I shot a hog the very 1st time I took it hunting.

Don't know if that helps or not.  :campfire:

Thanks to Kenny and Terry for the replies. I hadn't compared it to the Thunderchild, but the profile is very similar.

I had a Nightshade for awhile.  It was a well built bow , very quiet , and shot great . If I'm not mistaken I think Mike builds them 58 to 62 inches long .

Looks like an excellent design.  Mike, if you get one I'd like to shoot it on my next trip through.

7 lakes are sleepers in the archery biz imo. I ve owned 2 and still one one. Mike is a stand up fellow and makes a mean bow at a great price!!!!

Disclaimer mine have been the long night models and no experience with the nightshade. Just a fyi :)
