I just wanted to say thanks to Jim for making such a great bow. I got to participate in the 32 man Championship shoot off at the Howard Hill Southeastern Classic and made it to the final 2 and shot against Robby Clark. Robby took home the championship and a big congrats goes out to him. That man can sure shoot the heck out of a bow :thumbsup: I was shooting a 58 inch BlackCreek Banshee longbow that Jim made for me and that bow shot lights out. Thanks again Jim for making a very smooth drawing bow that really is a pleasure to shoot.
Jim makes a very stable bow.I think the forward handle also helps accuracy.You held your own just fine.Both you and Robby are great shots. :thumbsup:
Any chance of posting some pics of these bows? I'd like to see them.
Congrats on the great shooting....

Wow Scott - you are driving tacks with that baby, well done!! What is you secret?? Do you shoot gap or instinctive (not trying to start a bun-fight here - a genuine question)??

Look at the Sponsor's Classifieds by Sipsey River, there are some pictures there.
Scott was nice enough to let me hold her and shoot her at the ASTB shoot for the kids earlier this year at Tannehill Park. I also got to meet Jim the bowyer at Blackcreek. Cannot say enough good about the bows and the bowyer. :thumbsup:

Suttoman, I guess my style is "gapstinctive". I gap shoot but I don't have to think or dwell on what my gap is. This comes from a lot of shooting. In my opinion the secret to shooting well is multi faceted.
1. Consistant grip or hand placement. I belive it was Rod Jenkins that said let your bow decide what it likes and repeat it. When I first got my Banshee it took me three or four days to learn how to grip the bow.
2. Alingment-bow shoulder pointed at the target.
3. Consistant anchor from shot to shot. I use a double anchor. Thumb at the back of the jaw and nose touching the cock feather.
4. Rock solid bow arm. Can't hit squat if you are shooting on the pass by. I concentrate on follow through, not dropping the bow arm until the arrow has struck the target.
5.Smooth release. I don't force myself to release but rather let the "sight picture" or the arrows relationship to the target trigger my release.
If I fail to do one of the five the shot isn't a good one. So basicaly if you have good form you cannot help but shoot better.
6. I shoot better now that I ever have. I belive that is due to the fact that I dropped down in bow weight from 52 lbs@28 to 42 lbs@28. I also shoot every day even if it is only 10- 15 arrows.
Of course this is what belive. I am sure others will agree or disagree.
