My new Baraga.....AMAZING
« on: August 30, 2012, 09:58:00 PM »
OK....it's something my 8 year old daghter likes to say..O.M.G.!  But it is perfect for my first experience with this bow.  Arrived today in the mail.  Got a little scared cuz the big tube it was shipped in was crushed about 1/3 of the way down from one end....yikes!  Opened it up and thankfully all was well.  

Couldn't string it up just then, had to go back to work. Got home tonight and took it out for a test drive.  No tuning...string had fallen off the bow and I'm not sure what the brace height recomendation is yet...it was at about 6.5. (I'll probably twist it up a bit)  Used the knock point currently on the string.  WOW...what a dream...what a bow.  64" 57# at 28.  Talk about fun.  I found myself laughing after every shot.  My neighbor was out practicing his golf swing and probably thinks I'm a nut.  The draw was smooth and talk about announcing yourself with authority.....it sure flings an arrow.  This is going to be fun!

It's new to me...got it from East Coast Archer.  Vincent from Jersey.  Thanks Vince!  It was a pleasure working with you.  Great bow!    :D

I know how you feel....I just got a used one 2 weeks ago, 64" 45# @ 29" mine has the RW grip. I'm really pleased with it and it's a looker also.

I love how little it takes to make them almost silent. It was quieter without silencers than some are wit them.  

Congratulations on a great bow purchase.
