thanks guys,this is a jim gainey bow,black creek banshee,takedown recurve,big jim makes long bows for now , and a nice long bow at that . jim gainey is a great person to work with. i have known him for about 3-4 years ,met him at john sullinins shop (sipsey river) when jim gainey first started ,jim is a man of integrity,and as honest as the day is long ,his wife and youngest son are people that when you meet it makes you feel at home.you gotta love that ..didnt get to shoot it today (had a christmas party at work)14 hours long woooo hooo ,but folks im talking serious...jim,s attention to detail is amazing,to me ,he makes one of the greatest bows around,now im not knocking other bowyers ,but for me. the grip ,the smoothness ,and the looks are a 10 out of 10 in my book,if you can get your hands on one ,try it out ,i bet you will like it ..
