Wasapt:How's it shoot?

Classified information but I heard that Mike is going to leak it  Highly classified and marked Top Secret. I have been looking for someone from the present administration to leak it though.

God bless you all, Steve

Alright I got some time with this bow today....and I will give you my first impressions.

The first thing I have to say is that this bow is VERY quiet - I can't believe how quiet this bow is. Might be the quietest bow I have ever shot and it is not tuned yet. Impressive.

The second is speed - this bow is so fast that I don't have any arrows that are the right spine. I need to get stiffer arrows - normally all my bows in this weight range are 400 spine at my 30" draw. Not this one - turns my 400's into wet noodles!! So I need to so some work AFTER I find some arrows.   I believe this bow will be over 200 fps!

I cannot assess accuracy cause I cannot get arrows to work - but I can say from the other talon that I have is that I can shoot 3" groups at 30 yards with that bow. I expect this bow will be no different.

We can all see how beautiful this bow is but I have to add that the fit and finish is very nice. Steve takes ever detail to the next level.  In fact he really wanted to do more with this bow and I had to hold him back - he would have done more to fancy it up ( as he would say).

However all that being said the absolute best part of this bow is the friendship I gained working with Steve!  He is great to work with and I highly recommend you guys give one of his bows a try. You will get a one of a kind bow and get to work with one of the best in trad archery.

I will get some more details when I get some new arrows

Steve is a stand up guy and craftsman.  That I can vouch for.

A very beautiful bow, almost too pretty to even hunt with, please post how she shoots.

Duncan:A very beautiful bow, almost too pretty to even hunt
Don't let looks fool you  Bro. These bows are first and foremost a hunting bow. Beauty does not effect that in any way. If it did then I would build ugly bows. Thanks for the complement. the only reason I answered this is that I have heard the pretty bow but how does it shoot a lot of times. Problem is when I have built and offered base bows with actionwood ect they have not sold. Soooooooooo If anyone does not want pretty I would advise ordering a plain bow and I will grit my teeth and build it. Per request.

God bless you all, Steve

my 47# Sasquatch LB required me to jump from .400 spine to .340 to harness the power... I'm sure you'll find Steve's to be similar!

[Sixby]

Doc:  I'm sure you'll find Steve's to be similar!

Pretty much. The ballistics are same so it stands that this would be true.

God bless, Steve

[Doc Nock]

Amen, Steve!

Collaboration beats competition most times...and the customer always wins!

[Moots]

Fine looking bow, and I'll bet it's a performer too!

[VictoryHunter]

Nice looking bow!

[TxAg]

[Chromebuck]

Steve's work is top notch!

Enjoy...

Finally got some 340's to test tonight - hope the can tame this beast!!!

[pamike]

Not sure but I know Steve cuts them past center. I would have to check it.

[pamike]

So I did some bare shaft testing with the 340's. did not get the results I expected but I think I am getting closer. The 340 shafts flew good and hit the target like I had the right spine BUT when I went back to 20 yds all arrows groups 6" left - indicating a stiff arrow. Then I grabbed the 400 axis again (only had fletched in the shed) - flew like darts and dead center of target. Shot thru paper - perfect bullet hole!  Ran back to house to get some bare shafts and shot them - all show weak. Grabbed the fletched arrows and went back to 30 yds - like darts! Never had that happen - I have always been able to get bare shafts and fletched to hit same spot and fly true. ??????

I guess there's a first time for everything. I have never had anyone have a hard time tuning one of my bows; Usually they comment on how easy they are to tune. I think you better send that bow back here so I can hunt with it this year.
Shoot the slow one and I will grab a grab bag of  mixed arrows and go hunting. LOL.

God bless and sounds like you are having too much fun Bro. Careful though or the word will be that my bows are hard to tune. BTW cut 3/16 past center or thereabouts. I use a chain saw to do it and in places the sight window is deeper than other places.

God bless, Steve

Sorry people keep asking me for updates and I am trying to post them, but I am only getting 10 minutes here and there to play. Please don't read into this that these bows are hard to tune and STEVE THIS BOW IS NOT HEADING BACK TO OREGON - staying in PA!!!  I just misread my indications on the 400 spine testing and then jumped to 340 unnecessarily. This bow is shooting darts with fletched arrows - still need to either fine tune point weight or maybe the way I am gripping this bow - who knows??  BUT this bow is SWEET!!

Shame I have to work to pay for all these bows cause work is really getting in the way of my bow time!
