The SWAN has Landed
« on: August 04, 2007, 09:37:00 AM »
I was talking with Daniel about a week ago about knives and what not. when he asked if i ever shot a Black Swan. I told him no and he asked if I wanted to swap bows a awhile. I said sure and sent him a RER TD recurve and he sent the swan. Boys this bow flat out SMOKES! Now I like pretty bows with wood handles. BUT I could really get into shooting and owning a swan but it have to be a longbow. Vman you are right Arvid makes a fast bow. This group was the first 3 arrows I shot from the bow at 15 yards.the bow is 43#26" and I draw 29". I will scale her today and chrono her also. I can say this my 5575 GTs trads look like they are rockets out of this bow. If this was a longbow with a wood handle it would be awesome.

Serge what is amazing is how fast it is and how well it handles. Very forgiving for being so fast. I plan on shooting at 35 yards maybe 40 just to see how I shoot it at that distance, I noramlly shoot 20 yards. I set up for a very close shot 15 yards and under when I hunt whitetails here. <><

Well went out and did a 37yrd 4 arrow shoot. I know it's not the best group but I don't shoot that far ever. But 25 and in I am very happy with the way I shoot her.

I'd say for a first day and mismatched arrows, that ain't bad.

Nice, Frank. Hopefully you'll still have it next time I see you. I've been wanting to try a Swan for awhile.
