Title: My assenheimer finally arrived
Post by: Mac11700 on February 09, 2012, 11:33:00 AM
I love it...it was well worth the wait...Donny's work is top notch...silky smooth finish...so rich...it is amazing...Sorry for the not so good photo's...my main camera is on the fritz's...and this is off my phone..I guess I should name it...What do you guys think it should be...I'm thinking Dark Angle...but I not sure.....:dontknow:

63 lbs.@29"

Coco Bolo Mac Ebony riser with Mac Ebony limbs with Coco Bolo tips...

First 6 shots off of it at 20 yards...not too bad...very quite...I mean very very quite...I don't have any silencers on it..and it is quieter than my Hoyt with them......very smooth drawing...and zero hand shock..Donny fit my grip perfectly for me... This bow is also very fast...loving these Beeman 340's...I needed the 2 flyers..the top one was my first shot with it..wasn't expecting it that high..second shot was good elevation correction..last shots below..

Mac- Great bow, never seen one like that-  Was it special order or did you have to supply the wood.  Nice to see Mr. Assenheimer back in action.

Beautiful bow. Nice choice of wood and veneers.

They are good shooters, extremely quiet, and absolutely the best finish going.

I got talked out of mine several years ago. Wish I had kept it.

Congrats....it's a DANDY

Glad to hear that Donnie is back at making bows.  I knew he had some health issues and was worried about him for awhile.

Beautiful bow. Does it have a high grip? What brace height are you set at? I bought a used LH 60" a while back and I am looking for some info. How about shadow for a name? Thanks in advance and it is a very beautiful bow.

"Fishhook limbs", smooth and fast! I've shot one of his bows off and on since the early 90's and they have only gotten better since then. Great performing bow at a good price.

It's between his regular and high grip...

Donny's instructions that came with mine recommends to keep the brace height between 7-3/4" -8" measured from the deepest part of the grip..

Hope that helps

Beautiful bow!  My Assenheimer's are 64". I shoot them both at a 7 7/8" brace, which works very well. Yep, very smooth and quiet.  Best of luck with yours.
