I really like the looks of that belly mount riser bow. I will be waiting for reports of it while I am deciding what to sell.

Got to shoot it at the JLMBH, and wow is all I can say. Heck, smooth doesn't cut it. That thing is like butta'. I made the mistake of shooting the r/d longbow model after riding The Wave. Now, I've found all the black swan models I've shot to be exceptionally smooth, but not after having The Wave in my hands. And the longbow was several pounds lighter if I remember correctly. What a bow!!!

That wave is crazy, you start the draw and it lessens, then just kind'a builds to a very manageable smoothness, and its quick.Wacky looking but very nice to shoot. Dave thanks for bring it to the bunny hunt!!!!!

Unbelievably smooth on the draw, and truthfully, once it's in your hands and you shoot it, you forget all about the double wave in the limbs......

Thanks for bringing it along Dave and letting us try it out.

I believe that I saw one at Shawn Leonards this weekend. It shot great and was whisper quiet.

Does anyone have tests on the bow yet?  I wonder what it shoots at AMO standards.  I'd also like to look at the draw force curve.

It is available to order. Several are being sent out tomorrow as a matter of fact.

I'll be posting the force draw curves later tonight.

Will have the new wood riser next week also for folks to see.

For the AMO, I'll wait for Mullaney to do his reports.    :D

Ok here is a question I just thought of.  Don't some states check legality for hunting by the marked weight? How are the limbs marked? I guess the question is, are they marked for both the belly and back mount risers?

So you can get a wood riser model soon too?

Probably will do a 1 piece in the near future. Right now just finished the molds for the 58" limbs and is in the process of getting the 3 piece wood riser up and running.

7-7.5" for back mount. 8-8.5" for belly mount.

It handles the long draws pretty well.

It was interesting to see the faces when they shot this bow. "Smooth" was the first word out of every shooters mouth.
