Title: Jack Knife Bushbow Pics
Post by: Molson on March 22, 2010, 08:49:00 PM
Just got this excellent Bushbow in today from Jerry.  It's 62" and 60@28, Osage limbs and a Shedua riser.  Heard so much good about the Jack Knife I had to add it to this bow.  It is a great take-down system and adds just the right amount of heft to the riser.  This bow has a solid feel and is all about putting meat on the table. Nothing but business with this bow.  Exactly how I've grown to like them!!

Another fan of the Jack Knife system , have 3 right now and it's a dead simple system. Nothing gimmicky and all business.

Would like to try a Bushbow at some point.

I'm at work, and can't open the pics right now.  Can't wait to see them tomorrow and then see the bow in person at Ray's.

Sweet. Any chance of a picture of it folded? I have always wondered how compact it would be.

Yep...seen one of them in person....slick little take down trick for sure...and don't even come apart!!!

I always like the logo too.

Been in hunt camp with Jerry twice, was a pleasure both times.

Thanks for the comments.  It sure is a great bow. Gotta get some arrows tuned in to it quick and get it ready to knock down some hogs.

Here's a pic of it taken down.  I put an arrow beside it for a size ref.  The arrow is 28" to the back of the head.  Did I mention that Jack Knife hinge is solid?  Very nice!

Fantastic... thank you so much. I hadn't imagined it was so compact.

Just an FYI if anyone is interested... Jerry has an exact duplicate to this bow in stock now but it's 58@28. It's not listed on his website but you could give him a call to inquire.

Very good looking bow. I had one almost identical to that and traded it away. I sure wish I had her back. Good luck with it. Quiet, hard hitting, very stable bows. Not to mention that they are made by one of the nicest guys in the business.

Hi Terry---------according to the website
the jacknife can be added to any custom model
except the Super Ghost.


So yes it can.

Yep he sure does.  The Fireball does not fold down as tight because of the recurve in the limbs.  Jerry told me the Ghost will fold down tighter than the Fireball, but even at that, the Fireball would still be a very compact package.
