Anyone have a Seigeworks Creations Scythian GennIII

[Zradix]

Woodie... What made you decide on the GenIII instead of the Sidewinder??

[Zradix]

anyone else

[sw]

What i haqve heard back is that the bow likes 10# heavier spine then rated and that it seems to like a 6.75 to 7.25" brace with a 1/4" high nock. I think people asume that a short bow is hard to shoot and go into it with thier minds made up - this is just not fact.

If i am remembering right - woodie4life went with a Gen III as he liked the looks better and if i am thinking right the one he tested was set at about 40# compared to the sidewinder i had here that was about 50#. BUT - he can certainaly pipe in. I believe he liked both bows equally and was inpressed with both.

Dave, don't let it go to your head   :D  

She has a 24" draw, shoots 40# w/ 350 grain arrows. She's probably not shooting faster than 250 fps from her machine.

Juan, on the other hand, draws that 65# shortbow of yours to 28 1/2 inches with a 630 grain arrow. I'd venture a guess he was reaching 210 or so...like to see it on a chrono. The arrows were flat, fast, straight, and accurate from 20 out to 40 yards. He was tickled pink.

I shot it, and 65# is a tad heavy for me and I'm a lefty shooting a righty bow...it was very nice.

Been away for awhile. I picked the Gen3, after shooting both (sidewinder/gen 3) because the gen 3 doesn't contact the limbs( a longbow) vs the sidewinder does.(to me a re curve) The speeds are close to the same.. both are very quiet/ with no silencers.. I can't wait to get it.. Thx Dave for the offer to use one of your bow's for my schedule pig hunt but i can't do it w/o enough practice time..

Let's see pics please

[Zradix]

I was thinking about picking the GenIII just for the same reason...all other things being about equal. Thanks a lot for the input!

what is the name of the new short recurve he is making

[NorthernCaliforniaHunter]

I was blessed with a gift Sidewinder, backed with rattlesnake skins, made with wenge and zebrawood with bone accents. I haven't shot a lot of bows but GOOD LORD is this bow fast!

My other bow, a Seigeworks longbow, is a great bow too but the comparison is night and day. The sidewinder, which I named "Nagini" (I don't usually personalize my stuff, but she's an exception), will no doubt punch through any critter on this continent, and I'm including all the exotics in our zoos! Does anyone have a water buffalo?

Seriously, nice work Dave!

The gifter wishes to remain anonymous but I can tell ya there's an angel walking amoungst us! I will carry this bow to the grave and hopefully someone will be kind enough to stick it in the box along side me.    

I will post pics this evening.

O.K... So, it's been raining like gangbusters over here so this is the best background I can come up with for now. Another disclaimer, these photos do the bow absolutely no justice:

 

 

 

Now, there are a few items in a man's life that he picks up and knows will be a part of him for the rest of his days. This here bow dang-near fell out of the sky (it was a gift out-of-the-blue) and is just such an item. It's a piece of art and infused with soul. I don't normally do this but I had to name "her". Her name is "Nagini" which is Sanskrit for snake (female)and the Chi-Rho is there to remind me of all the blessings in my life (and to give the bow extra joo-joo!)

My appologies to Dave (and the anonymous-by-request land-angel on an island in the South Pacific     ) if it's irksome that I wrote on the bow. You sir, are an alchimist!

 

[NorthernCaliforniaHunter]

I'm waiting on some stiffer arrows, but with my ADTrad Lites and a much lighter field tip I got some decent and WICKED FAST flight out of this bow, as Toby attested to above. It is might quiet but I doubt I'll need to worry about what little sound it makes as the arrow will get to its target before there's a chance for flinching!

[Zradix]

Lucky Dog...lol have fun. Awesome looking bow!!      

[cacciatore]

[Chester Thompson]

Wow that is a nice bow, and I wish I had friends like that.

[NorthernCaliforniaHunter]

Dave PM'd me and told me it's the first bow he's ever applied snake skins to... Well, all the more fitting it be named Nagini then!

Yep Dave, very cool indeed.
