Title: check out my new hunting bow for '09
Post by: Dan Bonner on September 19, 2009, 06:09:00 PM
Its 60" 55# and 50# @28"(two sets of limbs). Limbs are black glass with aboo cores and phenolic wedges and tips. Riser is solid 6061T6 aluminum.

It is the quietest bow I have ever shot and its the easiest to shoot as well. Also appears to have very good cast.

I wanted a tough bow that I did'nt feel bad about using like a tool. I had shot a few aluminum riser rigs and I wanted the extra mass weight too. This is the result. What do you think?

The camo dip job was done by Lonnie at Precision Hydrographics.I cant say enough about his service. He did 3 bows plus an extra set of limbs for me and the work was flawless. He also got them back to me in 4 days!

I hope the next posts show it next to some dead critters.

Looks very cool and very deadly. Comes into its own when it is in the woods, the first pic kinda   feels like wasps in the piney woods. Good luck and hunt well.

"its a home-made rig I whipped up out in my garage."   Like that happens every day 8^).  I could spend five years in my garage and not "whip up" a metal riser bow.  I would like to have seen the riser prior to the dipping.
