I am thinking about extending the pass around for another group if there is enough interest. You will need to have at least a 100 post and be willing to give an honest feedback of bow, when you recieve and ship off so that others are able to follow and I am able to as well. Let me know of some more interests. You will need to ship with insurance $500 on average, with a cost of $25 to you.
Thanks and good shooting,
Dave

Sticksnstones,

That was the way to review a bow. Well done!

Matt

The eagle has landed! I received the bow today, the review will follow next week.

Glad it made it safe and sound! Hope you're out shooting it now!

Dave, you're very welcome, it was a joy to shoot! BTW with $500 insurance it was marked $17 of shipping when I picked it up and I was charged $17 to ship it back out. There is no reason to skimp on the insurance!

I'm glad to hear you are thinking about extending the pass around, this worked out so much better than just getting to grab one for a few minutes at Comptons or Kalamazoo or something like that.

Thanks Matt, I enjoyed your review too! Your videos sparked me to post the ones I did. Thanks for the motivation!
Thom

Glad it made it to you all in one package. Can't wait to hear what you have to say. Looking forward to the review as well.
Thanks and good shooting,
Dave

is there a updated list? BTW hitman, im think hard about bidding on the bow for grace, that red looks really nice and the cause is a good one. will have to sit on it and ill see where its at on the 26th

HMlongbow · « **Reply #226 on:** May 23, 2012, 06:19:00 PM »

Jason from 330 Outdoors donated that bow and for a great young lady. My prayers go out to her and her family and I hope that all who bid for the bow will give it much pride. Thanks and let me know if any of you purchase the bow. I will have it soon to put some wording on the limbs at there request.
Thanks and good shooting,
Dave

I am still shooting the bow, I will post my thoughts over the weekend.

Raging Water · « **Reply #231 on:** May 24, 2012, 11:37:00 PM »

Just got to test drive a 60" 66# at 28" Hitman one PC.

One of the fastest, smoothest, and most quiet longbow, I have ever shot.

And, that means a lot. I have shot some uber fast bows.

This bad boy flat out smokes an arrow. Super flat cast.

Matt

sticksnstones · « **Reply #232 on:** May 25, 2012, 06:56:00 AM »

A Hitman at 66#, I bet is did smoke that arrow!

Can you tell us what the limb setup was like?
Thom

Raging Water · « **Reply #233 on:** May 25, 2012, 11:10:00 AM »

Will take some pictures and maybe some video. If I was in the market for a one PC longbow, this would be it.

Accuracy is second to none. Super quiet.

Speed..... As fast or faster than any other. Pretty cool bow.

Matt

HMlongbow · « **Reply #234 on:** May 25, 2012, 12:44:00 PM »

I can elaborate on this for you all. The bow was a back up bow for me but I saw that Matt likes heavy bows and thought he might be the guy to try it out and seems that he really likes the way it shoots.
The bow is a 60" AMO 66# @ 28" bamboo cores with carbon on front and back limbs under a nice set of bubinga veneers. I did some nice nocks with a handle that has burgundy dymondwood and grey dymalux half moon in the grip area. I have pics:

I have resized the pics:

So Matt how did the handle on the one piece compare to the handle on the 3pc pass around? I like the colors and looks of it the 1pc

Uh? Different. This bow has more shoulders to the grip. The palm swell seems the same.

Dave and I are going to try a fifty's style grip on this bow. I am going to send it to Dave for a modification. Thinking about some finger grooves. Should be fun to work with.

Before the re-work, I am going to ship this bow to Leo Markert and Justin Newell. Two Masters of the Heavy Bow. They will provide a review as well.

The bow is similiar but not the exact one. Sorry for the confusion but it is similiar in alot of the way it looks. The colors and woods are but the hand area is a little different.
Dave

Sounds like an awesome bow! I'd love to see some video of that bow getting bent!
Thom
