Myself,my Wife and my 2 boys took off to Tannehill,Al yesterday to shoot the state shoot and had an awesome time.About 2 weeks ago I called Jim Gainey of Blackcreek bows and ordered a new banshee TDR because I have been hearing great things about his new recurve but until yesterday I've seen only pics of these bows and let me tell you fast and quiet is a complete understatement.I shot a 60" 38lb recurve that he had on display and was absolutely shocked of how fast it was,0 hand shock and hit right where I looked.His workmanship and quality is second to none plus he's great people person.It is great to see someone that truly stands behind his product and takes care of their customers the way he does.
Take a look at what? No pix? :confused: :help:
Here is apicture of a recurve Jim of BlackCreek custom made for me. I gave specific direction on the grip and he Nailed it.
It is 56", 42# for my weak shoulder.

I have Jim making me a set of longbow limbs for this bow now. When he gets them done, I will post some pictures. He is going to try to match the bacote in the limbs so I will have a matched set. As Daniel said in the first post, Jim's workmanship is outstanding, second to none. His order wait time is only about 8-10 weeks or so.
Jim's bows are all comfortable, fast, point well, great finish etc. I can tell you if they aint RIGHT he will not sell them.
Looking fwd. to my Siren.
I can't wait to shoot one of his banshee takedown longbows at the OSTA state shoot in Sept! I plan on putting in an order if it is anything like what I have been hearing!
The last I heard, Jim is planning on being at OSTA.
i got a siren from jim and since i have got it i quit shooting all my other bows i shoot it better than any other bow that i have they are top notch you can pay more but you wont get one any better than a black creek bow
You guys are making it harder to wait a month to shoot one of his bows!
:knothead:
Don't wait go ahead and order one you will not regret it. Plus that's a month that you won't have to wait on your order
here are some pics of my personal bow. still trying to learn the pics thing.
