Another Sweeeeet Banshee. Jim Gainey's bows are mighty fine shooters. What I like most about mine other than its looks is it hits where I want it to  :bigsmyl:

I can not post pictures on PowWow of items I sell. I can only post on Sponsor's Classifieds. I will try to find the pictures and get them on there.

Everyone who can should come to Tannehill Historical State Park this weekend and see Jim's bows. He will even let you shoot one so you can see for yourself just how good these bows are. They are worth the trip. Besides, there will be a great 3-D course to shoot as always.  :archer:

The Banshee's picked up a first in Men's Longbow, a first in Youth Longbow, and a second in Women's longbow at the Tannehill event. Not bad for a fairly new bow, and there were a ton of shooters too!!

I talked to Jim at the Kentucky Klassic and got to look at this bows, does some nice work and my wife fell in love with one he had but she is a lefty. She is still talking about it.
