Sky Eagle
« on: October 07, 2010, 07:05:00 PM »
I had some spare change (little bonus) and decided to pick up a Sky Eagle from Jim Belcher. At 400.00 for a new bow, sounded like a too good deal. But I've been real happy with my other Sky products so I figured it would be a steal.

Sandra sent me some pictures of the bow and I have to admit it looked real cool in an ugly sort of way, but compared to some of you all, I kinda  like them ugly.

So I get it in the mail today, and yep she's ugly alright, all actionwood and grainy.......But she shot so dang well I've nicknamed her Pearl. She reminds me of a dark pearl ring my old man had, all dark grey and swirly.

Folks for 400.00 you get a hunting bow that you'll be happy you still have some extra cash to buy more gear with. It's the best deal I have ever made.

As far as I know the bow is being retired so jump on it. It's priced better than any used bow.

I like the looks too. I still have a Sky Hawk take down that I take off the shelf every so often but I believe the riser may have a small crack so I don't shoot it too often. I used to shoot that bow really well.

I would not says its ugly, I find it charmingly utilitarian. I find diamond wood on a bow to be like micarta on a knife, not fancy but still sporty.
