Found a package on the doorstep yesterday, luckily before the little lady got home, so I had time to get rid of the box which is incriminating evidence.

She can't tell one bow from the other, so as long as I get it in the herd, she'll never notice. lol

Anyway Jason is such a nice guy to deal with and makes a great bow. I had him name the bow "Halcon" or falcon in spanish, and it really lives up to its name.

It feels just as quick as my much heavier bows, and in fact shot the same arrows really well. I did buy some new arrows, and bareshafted one in the picture below at 32 yards (I was aiming for the top one even).

All in all I could not be happier. This is one of the best values out there for sure.      :thumbsup:

I recently got one also,and today I picked up one at the post office for Adkmountianken. His is the same poundage as yours but with the green action wood,mine is 43# with greybark. I am amazed how fast they are. They have a great great grip also.   :thumbsup:  Good luck in the woods this fall!!

Whoa,thats great, you won't have to spend money on feathers. Or worry about them gettin wet or smashed or any of that stuff. No fletching, or glue all over everything, I'm envious. Nice bow, I really want to try one.

Thanks everyone.

ron w,

I love the grip. It's much different than my other longbows, but it has a really natural feel.

onewhohasfun,

The best part is these arrows are full length too (30")! They come tuned!

I love that color on the riser and limbs. Most of the bows of his I see are grey. What length is it? Ken

This one is 58". Braced up it's a few inches shorter. It feels really small.

I almost ordered a grey one, but he had this one almost ready...and I have no patience.

She may put me in the dog house which is an old trailer on our little farm. She thinks I hate staying there.   :D

When I saw the picture then read the weight and length of "Halcon", I was nervous and had to check my bow rack. Thought the wife was "house cleaning", I have the same bow.
What is ur draw lenght? What arrows were you bare shafting (how long/how much point weight)
