Title: Its Here Sky Archery TDX 17" riser Pics and video inside
Post by: Cody Roiter on December 23, 2009, 12:50:00 AM
Guys, I had time this today to go over to a friends house who lives a short ways from Jim ( Sky/Belcher Bows) anyways I got there today and my friend has one of the first Sky bows TDX 17" riser... So I took some video and pics.. This bow is nice shooting.. Its just one of them bows you have to shoot...The Cool thing about this bow it that you can just about put anything you want on it that one person could put on a bow.... I talked with Jim and he said the risers are selling for $499 and the ILF limbs with glass and a maple core are selling for $349.. Jim also is making longbow limbs for this riser ( I have not shot them )..

For more info you can look at   http://www.skyarchery.com   Has both info on his Riser and ILF limbs.. Plus the other great bows Jim has for sale..

Best,

Cody

Hey Cody!

I see you've been working on your form.  You're pausing at anchor (now) and the follow through looks good.  CONGRATULATIONS!  Look'n good.

I like the new Sky riser.  Darn... now let me see what I can sell so I can buy one.  :^)

That bow may have the nicest lines of any metal riser I've seen.  Tempting!

Very nice Cody, I'd really like to try one of those.
How does it compare to the one that you shot at the IBO Trad worlds?

Cool stuff . i love ILF gear and the lines on Jim's looks rather tempting ... better wait for my Union Jack to get hear first though [ its in the air as we speak ] .
I'll be looking at the all black option ... kinda like the Hoyt i've got now ...

i dont usually like that type of bow, but i DO like the looks of that one!! i like the mathews harmonic dampers as well.
so the riser is 17", how long will the package be? could you get it set up in the 54-56" range??
