Title: My new bow pics
Post by: Bigriver on May 22, 2011, 08:30:00 PM
Picked this one up the other day, guess what it is.

Nice shooter, really fast & stable. I chronoed my 400`s at 195fps average with 15 shots. They are 460grains, the specs are 53@28", I guess I`m drawing around 29", so she`s around 55#`s at my draw.

Nice & smooth, needs some silencer work with 3 under, dead quiet split finger. Enjoy.

Felix, still love my longbows. I am just a sucker for John`s new creations. My 2 piece takedown longbow will still be elk hunting in September.

I usually dont care for plywood bows, specially when they look like a widowannabe, but this one really is a shooter. I might have him mike me one out of real wood lol.

Quite attractive bow.

Is the bow designed to handle shooting under 8.5 gpp?

SWEEET!  I have to shoot it, on the other hand i better not, dang i hate this stuff. but you know i believe this is all a part of Johns plan, to get me to order another bow, by the end of the year. i said i was done buying bows from him, just cuz i'll have 6 already, i wish he would retire from making bows! LOL.

Does Big River Bows have a web page?
Title: Re: My new bow pics
Post by: Bigriver on May 23, 2011, 07:48:00 PM
No webpage or computer. He has a tough time with his cell phone, lol! He is an 82 year old crumugeon who has been making bows a long time.

Hope the mods are not angry, I just want to show off my new friend. I`m kind of sounding like a commercial.

I like the red accents too and laminated risers have their own batch of fans, I'm one, the grip looks awesome,but..... does it really need those HUGE horns on the riser?
Title: Re: My new bow pics
Post by: Bigriver on May 23, 2011, 10:28:00 PM
Those are for stabbing bears in the eye if they climb my tree. Maybe you would like it better if it was multi florescent colors?  :saywhat:
Title: Re: My new bow pics
Post by: owlbait on May 23, 2011, 10:31:00 PM
No, I like it no matter what colors, I just thought those horns detracted from the rest of the bow, but I do have an off-centered idea about bows!    :p  Stabbing bears with it would be cool!

Very sweet curve! Of course, I'm partial to John's bows.  Hope to get a recurve to go with my longbow some day.
