Title: Great Northern goodness
Post by: paradocs on July 11, 2016, 12:52:00 PM
Been culling bows for 4-5 years now; here's the keepers.  Jackknife Lil Creep I ordered from Jerry 3 years ago that quickly became my go-to bow, and a Jackknife Ghost I picked up from forum member Carcajou a few months back.  There's another Creep on the rack that's a twin to this one, but without the skins, along with a little Sheepeater that's a hoot to shoot, but these are the bows that'll be hitting the woods from now on.  Love 'em; don't want for more.

Yeah, Scott, the Ghost is a contender; draws a bit smoother and is quicker than the Creep...just not as quiet yet.  Gonna experiment with strings and see.  After years with the GN straight grip, the index grip on the Ghost is taking a bit of time to adjust.  Here's what the Creep will do if I do my part; 3 field tips and a broadhead from 22 yards, seated in my chair.  About the best I can do...

Long live the Critter Gitter!  Here's mine - a 56" Jackknifed Gitter that is 62# @ 25". Limbs are all Red Elm and are all business.  Fantastic Bow!

Accurate too.  These were from 20 yards. There's two arrows in that left circle. Can't wait to take her to the woods this fall!

If you can ever find a Gitter for sale, better snatch her up!

I agree Jerry is top notch.  The red elm Bushbow I bought last year is my favorite.
