OH MAN There's $10.00 down the drain
« on: February 13, 2012, 02:29:00 AM »
I've had this bow, which was actually Bill Forman's "personal" SR Swift Blackhawk 58" 56#@28" sitting on my rack for a couple years now..

With so many other "Custom" bows to choose from it has never really been shot until last evening in my indoor 15yd range... Guess I shoud have been using it more         :knothead:       .. Sure is tough on arrows though.         :banghead:    

This is only the 3rd group I have shot with it...      :eek:     This thing may get pretty expensive to use on a regular basis      :D

Here's a different view... check out the veneer's Bill chose when making his bow... Beautiful!

The way this one is performing for me,  I'll be taking it to the range tomorrow evening for the Traditional Hunter's League.. besides it's too pretty not to show off a little...oh and fast, not to mention having a wonderful grip that's rock solid and very repeatable.

Curt these were re-sized to 640 prior to posting them...now they are 400x400

That's a fine looking bow! And at least $10.00!

For what it's worth...those pictures were reduced to 640 before posting... I'll go make them even smaller.

Gene, it's shooters like you the instructors are referring to when they say, "Shoot one arrow, then go retrieve it."   :goldtooth:

For what it's worth.....they were over 1000 pixels wide when you first posted them, hence the deletion and the re-size message Gene....thanx

Fantastic shooting and a great looking bow.

For what it's worth ... There is some sort of problem with photobucket. I have recently resized pictures and when posted they come up the old size. If you go back to photobucket, the pictures will be sized correctly. However, the link will post the unedited image. In my experience elsewhere, the problem will resolve after a short period of time. So Gene, you are right, what you see is the correct size on photobucket, but the link doesn't work as it should - at least not quick enough to avoid deletion.
Do or do not ... there is no "try"
