What's going on here???  :confused:   Posting two inches of the bow at a time?  At this rate I guess I'll have to wait until we get to Texas to see the whole thing!  :rolleyes:

This bow started at Denton Hill last summer.  I have always liked short longbows and Griffins in particularly. John had a 56" Griffin in my weight that I loved.  So it ended up in my Tipi or was it Whip's Tipi  :)  

Anyway we got to talking about doing up a 56" bow bolt Griffin.  My traveling/airline T/D Griffins are 60 inches and really too long to safely pack in a duffel.  John had been thinking of making a few of these up.  Then we started joking around about a name for this size bow.  I wanted it all black...micarta riser & tips & black glass with bamboo cores.  So I said the Gnats on my bear stand were black, small, merciless and packed a Big Sting.  He wasn't quite sure if that was the name he wanted for this line of bows...but it was for me  :)

Well, it showed up...just by luck on my birthday as the Gnat    :bigsmyl:

Man that is cool.  I've been wanting an all black bow for sometime.  An over a year wait would kill me but, no time like the present.

Sweet bow and happy birthday!

Now that's more like it!  What a beauty!  Did you think she will handle being drawn to 29"?  :saywhat:   I'd love to fire a few arrows through it!
