real nice looking Bow
Hey Chanumpa,
This bow is a Black Creek made by Jim Gainey, not one of Big Jim's. In clearing that up, both fellow's are top shelf as are there bows.
Froggy :thumbsup:
I am eagerly awaiting my own TDR? What laminations are those? It's a beauty!
On my list. I shot one at the Kentucky Klassic. They are nice.
Here is one Jim made for me.

Oh, I see where you listed the lams, really nice!
I like that compact riser. Good clean lines on the bow for sure.
thanks guys,this is a jim gainey bow,black creek banshee,takedown recurve,big jim makes long bows for now , and a nice long bow at that . jim gainey is a great person to work with. i have known him for about 3-4 years ,met him at john sullinins shop (sipsey river) when jim gainey first started ,jim is a man of integrity,and as honest as the day is long ,his wife and youngest son are people that when you meet it makes you feel at home.you gotta love that ..didnt get to shoot it today (had a christmas party at work)14 hours long woooo hooo ,but folks im talking serious...jim,s attention to detail is amazing,to me ,he makes one of the greatest bows around,now im not knocking other bowyers ,but for me. the grip ,the smoothness ,and the looks are a 10 out of 10 in my book,if you can get your hands on one ,try it out ,i bet you will like it ..
Thats a beauty!
Very nice I like that limb design.
These bows shoot very well.
hey john (cherokee scout)jim said you werent feeling to good with the knee surgery,man i hope and pray that you get better before the shoots start comeing up,but dont over do it.hope to see you at some of the shoots .you know i have my walker here i had after my back surgery,you can have it... lol just kidding john,get well and better,merry christmas!
oh, that is nice....
BEAUTIFUL
Paul, thanks for the kind words. I am healing, if everything works out, I hope to be able to pull back my bow in a few weeks.
Jim is building me a set of longbow limbs for this riser in the picture. I can't wait to gt them. I will post pictures as soon as I get them.
Thats a killer piece!
as good as they look in pics, Jims bows always look better in person.
I have a 60" Siren coming soon, Walnut/micarta riser, 'boo core, Yew veneers.
