Blackhawk Longbow

[ToxophilitePastor]

Has anyone owned a Blackhawk Longbow built by Jack Smith in IL. Would you recommend these bows?

[Ron Goodrum]

I've had a few. Craftmanship is as good as anything being built. The bow is a mild r/d in profile and shoots along the lines of a Robertson, 7 Lakes, etc. I don't think you would be disapointed with this bow. One note: Jack is no longer making them.

I have one and don't really care for it very much. Bought it about 10 yrs ago. It seems very unstable, and has way more hand shock than my Thunderstick 111 or the Mohawk I am waiting to get. Shot a friends, and fell in love with it. If you can , try a Mohawk. Vince is a really nice guy and makes a great bow thats smooth and fast.

i'll put a word in my blackhawk,got this bow on trade and pretty much wrote if off before i shot it.now that i have shot this bow i'll say that other than some handshock [not severe] this bow will shoot with any longbow i have shot,accuracy wise! not the fastest but it just puts an arrow where i look works for me and it has some really nice bacote veneers,best of luck Ralph

54@28"66" long

I have a LH built by Smith-I don't know what hand shock the're talking about. The bow is stable ,smoothe on  the draw and feels good in the hand. Mine is a 64" 65#@28"and shoots in the mid 160 fps range if anyone is interested in it. Too much bow for me now at my age.
