Title: Black Creek Banshee LB - Need Opinions
Post by: Koko Bow on February 20, 2012, 05:07:00 PM
Curious as to what you all thin of the Banshee.  Hopefully I will hear from folks who owned or have owned one.  Looking for overall reviews including fit and finish, grip, etc...  

I like the lines on the bow.  It looks similar to the Thunderchild.

Thanks.

Never owned one but have shot one and was pleased enough to have one on my wish list. There is one in the classified now at a fair price. The 40lb bow I shot fired with athority. Jim's a fine bowyer and buisness man.

I just sold a banshee 3 piece takedown, Jim builds as fine a bow as there is.Fit, finish are top shelf, and its a shooter for sure, my 54" @ 28 " was sending a 10 GPP arrow through the chrono at 198, thats smokin for a longbow. and quiet and no handshock, the only problem was the grip was a little thick for me, but he's thinned that down some on his new bows, you wont be dissapointed I guarantee, give him a call

i have had several of them...its nice to live about an hour away..lol ,you will not be dissapointed ,smooth ,attention to detail and jim gainey is just a stand up guy .jim is a great guy ,i plan on picking one up this weekend at the allsouth/compton shoot .i dont even know what it looks like or which one i pick up ,but i do know  i will be getting one .lol
fit - fits me like a glove killed my first deer with one a few years ago 41#@28 complete pass through at 18 yards from the ground
finish -- one of the best out there tough and non glare
grip- i like it .medium to medium low .but talk to jim he may be able to do something different.

I bought a 62" 1 piece and sold it to one of my hunting buddies. I loved it, I just wish it was a little heavier, poundage wise. I should have orderd it a little heavier, my bad. I have a Siren that money can not buy, and the same buddy has one as well. The Banshee will smoke an arrow, good thing is I still get to shoot it any time I want to. LOL.... Any thing Jim makes is top shelf, great guy to deal with and he makes an outstanding bow. The fit and finish is great and like I said they are shooters. You will not go wrong dealing with Jim.
