New (to me) Firefly FX Longbow - PICS!!!
« on: December 23, 2009, 12:23:00 AM »
I purchased this bow from a fellow TG member(fishone)and the deal was flawless as it always is with him, and the majority of TGer's.  

58" 50@28 Bacote Riser with Bloodwood accents, and bocote veneers under clear glass and bamboo cores.  Jim makes a heck of a bow with the fit and finish to match any bow out there, IMO.

This bow like my other one is just a real pleasure to shoot.  Smooth as silk, plenty fast, and super quiet.  I put a new SBD string on it, cat wiskers, and she is a shooting machine.

It arrived last Saturday and the following Sunday I shot it at a local indoor 3D, and ended up takeing first place, of all the luck!!!!

Thanks agian to Craig.

Jake shot real good Sunday, I kept the pressure on him and if it wasn't for that new bow I could have caught him!!  NOT!!   lol  Nice bow, Jim (Firefly Bows) Is a nice fella to deal with, I have one on the rack and one on order. His bows are top quality and are very smooth.

No luck involved.  They are awesome shooting bows.  Don't believe I've ever shot a bow better than my Firefly (with the possible exception of the "Little Delta Bow").

I believe I'm going to order some heavier limbs for mine before elk season.

Man, I sure love that bacote! It has to be the prettiest wood for a bow. Looks like it fits you pretty well too!

Very nice looking bow and obviously a great shooter as well.
