Well, I finally got around to shooting her today. WOW! Shooting it, you would assume it was a much longer bow. Points REALLY well, I absolutely love the design!!

I have not gotten my new arrows in just yet, so I can't say it's shooting up to my standards yet, but it will be shortly!

As promised, I have some pics for you fellas.

Please forgive the poor quality camera they were took on. I took them on my phone is a piece of pooh!

The riser woods

The ONLY blemish i found on the whole bow, literally. This is the bottom limb tip.

It came with 2 silencers on it. I still haven't made a string for it yet. But the bcy X will eliminate the need for 2 silencers, for sure. But i'm not sure this bow needs 2 anyways..

the only wear on the strike plate..

I do not believe this bow has/was shot much before I got it.

Nice bow Daniel.

Yeah, I have been texting Jim about the bow. It had a little squeak or click in it when i drew it back and he said that it needed some wax. Put some wax on it and it worked perfectly! No squeak.

In regard to Jim's comments about the speed in the other post, I would have to agree, and disagree. I had the honor and privilege of meeting him at a shoot in Mississippi. I shot one of his bows there and he said "they're decent performers".

With my untrained eye, this longbow is faster than my black widow. The only reason I say that is because of the trajectory with a 10gpp arrow at around 30 yards. I shot it several times today with a closely, but not perfect, tuned arrow and it just doesn't "fall out" like the widow(9.5 gpp) arrow does. I know that is subjective, but it is my findings.

Great Bow Daniel. I have to agree with everything you said about the bow.

Beautiful bow Brother, enjoy it and hopefully it has the mojo.

DanielB89 · « **Reply #31 on:** August 03, 2015, 08:11:00 PM »

TJ,
i need some kind of mojo. lol. I had a less than stellar year last year. Hoping lady luck is on my side this year.

DanielB89 · « **Reply #32 on:** August 09, 2015, 11:01:00 PM »

A litle video of me shooting it this evening. Hope you enjoy it. I was filming it to check arrow flight, etc, but it turned into a fun evening of shooting.

You've got 'em flying like darts Dan. Nice job of tuning. My TC is in the finishing stages now. I can hardly wait.

Thanks for the vid. Man I need to get some BH arrows set up and do dome shooting!
Daniel how do you like your stick tite glove? I'm currently shooting a big shot but when I sweat up,it feels loose also I feel that the stalls are a little short for a deep hook.
Oh I wish I wouldn't have thrown out The back end of my last 3 d target I never thought about hanging it like that good idea!

Nice video. She sure looks like she shoot good. Very beautiful bow.

DanielB89 · « **Reply #36 on:** August 10, 2015, 02:30:00 PM »

Tim,
lol. I did that just because I think 3d targets have gotten outrageous! I couldn't imagine paying these prices for a target that wont last a year with my usual shooting.

I love my stick tite glove. If i were you, I would get the one without the nylon on it, but that is just my findings. At first I loved it(the nylon), but something happened to it and it stopped giving me as smooth of a release, so i cut the nylon off and haven't looked back.

Mike,
her and I are getting along just fine. I think i'm going to do some longer range shooting this evening. I'm really just playing around with the camera to practice editing and such. The bugs in the video yesterday were way too loud! lol, but I still had a blast! The last location i shot from was 20 yards and you can see that she is zipping them in there!

Thanks for posting the vid Dan! Beautiful bow, I hope to own one someday. Looks like it performs as good as it looks.

DanielB89 · « **Reply #38 on:** August 10, 2015, 10:34:00 PM »

Wayne,
i think you will love it! Everyday i shoot it, and everyday I am liking it more and more. It is just flat out AWESOME in my opinion. Thinking about trying to go chase a hog with it this weekend.

With all the luck Corey is having here lately, i'm not sure there will be any left by the time I get to go..
