60" recurve. Belly mount, dymondwood riser, carbon, ceramic, fast, quiet. The only problem is I have to learn to shoot it inside of 20 yards. I hit high with her up close.

That came out nice Wally.
Sweet looking bow!
very nice :thumbsup:
SO ready to trade it to me yet Wally? You've had this one a week already, isn't that your limit now? (Said the kettle calling the pot black :biglaugh: )
Shoots good too David. I'm starting to ger her dialed in.
Whats the length on that beauty? Thanks
Is that you by the fire place Wally?
Oh ya, very nice bow.
If only I could be that small again...
That's my pride and joy Ezekiel. He can bout alredy outshoot me.
I think this one's gonna stay a while David...and might even get some longbow limbs on it. :jumper:
Sorry Andrew...she is 60"... riser is 16"
Very nice looking bow :bigsmyl:
Wally,
David has too many Black Swans anyway, so you really ought to pass that bow along to someone like me who has never shot a Black Swan. It looks too good to be hidden up in the Vermont hills anyway. It needs to be down here on the Oklahoma plains where people can see it from miles away and appreciate its beauty. :saywhat:
Allan
Just when I thought I had all the bows I needed........That looks like a nice one!
Brett
nice looking bow Wally
That is one nice looking bow! :thumbsup:
Beautiful bow HATCHASER!
Do you know what the difference in speed is between the recurve limbs and the hybrid...I believe the recurve is faster but not sure by how much?
Thanks.
The new generation recurve limbs are about 8fps faster
Wally, definitely a nice looking grip on it. The Black swan longbow I shot a while back grip looked and felt like a rounded 2x4. I ain't but a few minutes from you, maybe we can meet and shoot sometimes.

This grip is about the same. No palm swell and flat in the back. Very squared off, but it is hard to hold wrong. When I first felt the grip I wasn't sure but I really shoot it well. This grip is about 3/8" higher than the one peice, but it measures about the same around the throat and heel. It is just angled forward and puts your hand in a neutral position. That is the best way I know to explain it. I am working in VA and don't know how long I will be here but next time I am home I'll get up with you.
Ok, I will hold you to it. The One I shot had a handle that felt like it was falling out of my hand with each shot, I could have been gripping it wrong I suppose. Look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks, Lanier
I am real interested in that Kwik Styk you got coming. When you gonna get it? That's on my bows to shoot list. I'm hoping to be home for the state shoot. Maybe I'll see you there.
Should have it by the latest Weds, you are welcome to come over at the house and shoot it all you want, and my others as well.. Got a area in the basement to shoot if weather is bad. PM me whenever.
thanks, Lanier
Nice looking bow! I have a Black Swan 56" TD hybrid with Zebra Wood Back limb mount Riser on order right now myself. I went to a small Bow shoot/BQ lunch one of the guys at work put on few weeks back. We had about 20+ guys there and about 30++ different bows we all brought. The fun part was getting to shoot all the different bows. One guy had a TD Black Swan bow and out of every bow I shot it stood out to me so I ordered one myself. It should be shipping sometime around the first of March I can't wait. I had no issues with the grip myself but as stated above you have adjust to the speed of the bow. I am use to haveing to rainbow that arrow into the bullseye at 25 yards while the Swan I shot the arrow zipped out of the bow straight to the bullseye very,very fast bow. Overall the bow was fast,quiet, and easy to hit with for me. Since I shoot low poundage under 50lbs and 27" draw I am thinking the extra few FPS will help me out on bigger game like elk, 250lb+ boar hogs and such.
Thanks Vermonster! Thats quite a bit faster.
Both style limbs are about to get even faster. ;)
Oh boy, with statements like that my credit card starts getting nervous :D
Can you give any further info, or is it "to be announced...."?
R&D is never ending with the mad bow scientist. lol
One thing I wondered about is can I order a set of recurve limbs down he road for my hybrid take down and if so do I have to send the riser back in to fit them?
You do not have to send the riser back. I have a set of classic longbow limbs on the way as we speak. :bigsmyl:
Cool, I ordered the hybrid TD and may add a set of Recurve limbs soon myself.
