Black River hybrid

How fast, smooth and quiet is the Black River hybrid by Will Cocke? I've read all the posts about Faith and Hope and am quite impressed.  Anyone chronoed one? Thanks!

I never chronographed mine but it shoots hard. I shot Hope when Dalton had it. My bow shoots harder,c I guess it is the limb material.

Thanks Tim. Gorgeous bow. Is that osage orange in rise. I see you live in Ashe County. I do a lot of forestry work, timber cruising for private landowners around Wilkesboro. Also, I agree w/ PBS silence about silence. How quiet is it?

I shot the pass around bow with both limb types a couple years ago and I was impressed with it. Fit and finish was excellent. The recurve limbs were noticeably faster than the long bow limbs. However, if I were to buy one I would have bought the longbow limbs. Very quiet and shot exactly where you point it. I will have one someday.

I own one (hybrid) with both the recurve limbs and longbow limbs. I’ve never run it through a chrony.

I can say that the recurve limbs @ 50# are noticeably faster than the 49# longbow limbs. That said, the longbow limbs are very quiet, smooth and free of hand shock as any hybrid longbow I’ve owned. Very similar in feel to a Silvertip.

My bow is ugly, I wanted it the color of one of those kids plastic Halloween bucket. The wood is Chakte Viga with Madagascar ebony.. There is a place in Conover, West Penn hardwoods. They have a sale every year and I got the wood for less than 20 dollars. I think I paid 12 dollars.

My 60” 48@28” Black River hybrid is very smooth and sufficiently fast at my 28” dL.
