Rainy Day Bows. pass around ( UP DATE Lefty Page 5 )

[Richie]

I could not resist and shot a few arrows with the bow tonight. This bow shoots great. I typically shoot a longbow but I may be looking into getting a recurve after shooting one of George's bows.Here are some pictures of my first four arrows from the bow @ 18 yards. The arrows show a little weak, I shoot them from my longbow that is 49# @ my 26" dl.
 

 
 This is an awesome bow George. I love the way the handle is shaped, my hand was so close to the shelf just as close if not closer than it is on my longbow. The difference being that on my bow I have to place my hand close to the shelf on this bow it is automatic because of the handle design. Even with the arrow not being tuned to the bow the fletch did not hit my hand. I could go on and on, the bow is awesome I cant wait to shoot more this weekend. Thanks again.

Richard . Thanks for your comments and pics. About the shelf It's cut 1 inch. above the deepest part of the grip I like the arrow close to my hand. Give us more feed back after you shoot it some more.

Well I shot the bow again today, probably over fifty arrows through it. This bow is super smooth and easy to shoot. I ddnt have an arrow that would tune perfectly to the bow but I was close. I shot out to 23 yards(the max at my house)and my group were very consistent better than my longbow that I've been shooting for a year and a half.This bow is simply awesome. I hope to own one in the future. Thanks again George.
   I may get a chance to shoot tomorrow morning if not this will be it for me, either way I'll be shipping it out to Matt Monday afternoon.

George,

I will be posting pictures and story tonight.

But, I put your bow thru it's paces this morning. It was great.

I used different weight arrows, different spines, and carbons and woodies. from, AD Trads, Beeman 50/70s, Beeman Hunters, to woodies. All were 10 gpp to 14 gpp for this 44# bow. (same arrows I use on my 60 - 100# bows)

It was a test of "forgiveness". Your bow passed with flying colors.

Details and pictures late, tonight.

Matt

This morning I had about 30 minutes to try out the Rainy Day Bow.

So, I grabbed a bunch of mixed matched arrows, AD Trads, Carbon Express 6075 Hunters, Beeman 5070s, and some 65# Spined Woodies.

For those of you that know me, I have no bows under 60# draw weight and like bows closer to 80#s.

I was curious to see what would work best out of a 44# bow.

These shots were taken "cold" no warm up. From 15 yards. Oh, I set the brace at 8 1/2, did not adjust the noch, and shot 3 under (as I am thinking about going from split to 3 under)

Also, I did not pick woods, then carbons, etc. Whatever I got my hand on, I shot. Different arrows, different weights and different spines.

So, the arrows should be all over the place, right????

Here was the first volley. You will notice the first 5 or so, were all over the place. Then the next 10 got closer and closer together.

   

Here are the first few wild arrows removed. See the group got tighter and tighter.

       

Then,  I went and shot just my woodies.

           

Then, I stepped back to 22 yards and shot another woodie. And, after this shot, I called it a good round.
   

My review????

Very nice shooting bow. Very forgiving of any kind of arrow. Plenty of speed and cast as these arrows are mostly 600 gr(+/-). Smooth in draw, no stack (but I don't really register stack very well on a 44# bow).

The riser mass was very nice and cut to center(ish). I am a low wrist grip guy but this grip was just dandy.

  That's funny tell her she has to share.

Not sure how long you are going to keep this going but I am also partial to your limb mount design and current shoot mostly Habu's.  My next Habu is a year and a half away and always looking for another option.  If you will send it to me I will give it a good work out.  The bow is right in my weight range and perfect for my array of arrows.  Just PM me if possible.

Thanks
Mike
