Title: New Bow, Blackcreek Banshee
Post by: MossyOak on April 04, 2008, 10:59:00 AM: Jim Gainey created me a new bow. I met Jim at John's Sipsey River set up at TBOF's Florida State shoot in March. We takled about what I wanted and here is the result, and in less than 4 weeks.

Post by: BubbaScott on April 04, 2008, 03:23:00 PM: MossyOak, Jim sure builds a great bow. I love my Banshee. It too is a 58 inch bow but with a draw weight of 42 lbs@28. I could not be happier with the service I got, not from just Jim Gainey but also John at Sipsey River :thumbsup:

Post by: Blackhawk7204 on April 04, 2008, 05:05:00 PM: Jim is with John at the Sipsey River tent at the Kentucky Classic right now if anyone wants to see his bows. Go shoot one and see for yourself how good the Black Creek Bows are. :clapper:

Post by: Kev Cruz on June 13, 2009, 04:53:00 PM: I just received my new Black Creek Banshee longbow with East Indian Rosewood riser and Bird's Eye Maple limbs. I think this is the most beautiful bow I've ever seen, and shoots just as pretty! The workmanship is flawless. (I have 10 longbows and I think this will be my favorite.) Plus the cost was really great. Jim Gainey (Black Creek Bows 205-272-265 [email protected])helped me pick out the woods and it only took 4 weeks to build it. Cost was $470 including shipping ($450 + $20 shipping.) I don't know if his prices are going to stay that low for long. I was his first Western U.S. customer, so you Westerners, take note of this new great bowyer.

Post by: Killdeer on June 14, 2009, 07:26:00 AM: One of my favorite memories of ATAR last year was when Brent Rudolph went over to Sipsey River's booth and came back with a lightweight Banshee. He let me try it (me a right-hander and he a southpaw...). I shot it left handed and was amazed at how those few 30-some pounds of draw spat the arrow with such speed. Smooth draw and a natural pointer, Brent was right! Good bows!

Killdeer :thumbsup:

Post by: slowbowjoe on May 31, 2015, 11:24:00 AM: Just came across this old post, and the bows look mighty sweet!

Can't find any website for them though, anyone know if they're still being made?
Title: Re: New Bow, Blackcreek Banshee
Post by: Bladepeek on May 31, 2015, 12:12:00 PM: I owned one of those little speedsters some years back. Can't remember for the life of me why I sold it, other than I probably wanted to try something new and needed the cash. Definitely a sweet shooting bow and lacks nothing in the looks department either.

Jim shut down his operation a few seasons back due to personal reasons. He was reluctant to do so but sometimes in life one is forced to strike out on a new path. Perhaps one day Jim will start up again? His bows were unique, excellent shooting, and quality built.
