Sheepeater Obsidian meets Robin Hood
« on: March 26, 2008, 10:15:00 AM »
So, I was tuning this bow up for Pedro from Chile. Thought I would shoot a final five round group, but figured I would just stop at three. I think it is shooting just fine the way it is set up. Here at Black Mountain Bows, we are trying to dispel the myth that short bows aren't accurate.

Sweet bow and not bad for a lefty using a right handed bow.

Now THAT'S what I call a GROUP!!   :notworthy:  

I think you can claim the myth "officially" dispelled.

I have to confess I'm not a good enough shot to show off my Sheepeater to that extent, but I'll concur that it is a great, handy, efficient, effective, snappy, and accurate little bow!!

I can only hope that Pedro gets as much fun from his Obsidian as I have from mine.  

Congratulations on the fine bows you make.

Not to get off the subject, but that is not a bad view in the background.

Thats just a big photograph backdrop Brent is posing in front of. He actually lives in Harlem.

What I'm not sure of is how he hammered that arrow into the back of the other one without breaking the nock. Must've used a rubber mallet.

OK guys for the stats. I live 35 miles north of Yellowstone National Park North Gate. The mountains behind me are of the Absaroka/Beartooth National Forest range. The largest national forest in the states. There are many peaks in this range in the 10,000 foot level. I have 20 acres that with a house and my shop.......thanks for the help Bear. Taxes are killer as the view, so you all enjoy! Either that or I'm in Harlem, either way, I aint tellin! AND, I am still a little miffed about the neighbor planting a house right in the middle of my view. Actually, being white, it is pretty camouflaged in the winter.

Bear, here is the trick, drill a pilot hole and work up to it.

Brent:

One of these days I need to get Sylas over to shoot with you.  He is absolutely shooting the lights out with that little bow you made for him.  I don't think any robin hoods for him yet but he was hitting an empty 12 ga. hull three times in a row at 25+.

With you on that one Doug, I aint sure I could see an empty hull at 25 yards anymore. You bet Leo, bring the lad over, if he goes to beating me too bad, I'll slice his left elbow tendon. According to Bill Murrey on Caddy Shack, "he'll push everything off to the left, never play the game again."

Doug sent me some pictures of Silas over some rabbits, Head shots!?

Too bad you can't make it to the banquet.  Maybe I'll have to figure out a way to mail you a couple of those Primanti sandwiches.  Spring turkey is just around the corner here in PA so I'll soon be breaking out the blind and the Sheepeater for some serious backyard practice. I'll post a pic of the bird when I get it.

I bet Pedro's got his knickers in a twist wondering when you are gonna una55 this bow and get it out to him!  :readit:  

Nice shooting!
