TGhost Hornets
« on: May 07, 2014, 04:47:00 PM »

 
A couple TGhosts getting ready to ship to their owners.  A 56" TD hybrid and a 56" ABBA Smoke hybrid. Both in phenolic and Osage. Love the yellow and black. Could've called these two Killer Bee, Yellow Jacket or Hornet. Might have to build one for myself if I ever get time.

I do like Osage........

Well the smoke one piece in this thread is now in my possession.  Thank you Kent.  What a work of art.  I finally have run about 100 arrows or so through it and can give my thoughts.  I tied on a double nock set and put on some of Terry's hush puppies and started shooting.

First it is a really cool looking bow.  All who have seen it have been in ahhhh.. It is 1 of 5 bows being made for the Arkansas Black Bear Association. You can see the logo in the riser.. Maybe someday I will connect on an old Ozark Mountain Black Bear with it.  I love the feel of grip.. Like all good bows it feels like it is an extension of your arm when you grab it.

The draw cycle is super smooth. It just wants to keep coming back and back.. When you release no hand shock or vibration.

As with anything the pictures do not do the bow justice.  It is a much smaller bow in person than what it looks like from the pictures. At 56" it will fit in the tree or the blind with real ease.

Accuracy is what it is.  The bow simply shoots where you point.  I knew when I shot Kent's personal smoke I wanted one and this one is no different.  Baseball sized groups at 10-12 yards after one day of shooting.  I don't crono my shots but it seems to really hum an arrow.  My wife came out and asked what the popping noise was.  It was the arrow thumping the target.  She has never done that before.

One of my favorite things about this bow and the smoke in general is they eat anything.  I can't get this bow to kick an arrow off the shelf and I have thrown some pretty weird selections at it.  It seems to shoot a wide variety of arrows well.  No more spending hours and dollars trying to find that perfectly matched arrow combo.  

I now have a longbow that my son will hopefully pass on to his son some day.  After I hopefully get to create a few stories with it first.  Thanks Kent..
