New Bow Makes Meat!
« on: October 06, 2008, 11:37:00 AM »
I built this bow a few weeks back and I am very happy with it so far. It appears to have some "mojo". The 4 hunts with it have produced 2 pigs and a deer. I love the way this thing shoots!

Great job on the bow!!! That looks like some good eating you got lined up there. Congratulations!!!  :thumbsup:
To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Great photos. I'm curious as to how long the bow is and what is it's poundage?

Thanks all. Night Wing its 60" and 48#@28". Exactly 50# at my 29" draw. What I like most about it is how quiet it is. Its as quiet as my longbows and very easy to shoot.
