I have a Beeler Tracker. GREAT BOW! Amazingly light in the hand, super quick and smooth. No stacking for such a short bow and very quiet.

Never shot a Black Creek so I don't know what to tell ya.

Thanks Matt I assume you have a normal draw length?

56"s sounds short for 29"s.

Spent some time behind a banshee at 56"s....I. draw 27.5

I didn't find ONE negative thing about it.  Let a friend of mine shoot it and let him talk me out of it.

Thanks Terry was offered either of these for a bow I have and I agree on the length!

The 56" shrew classic hunter I had forawhile was very smooth at my draw

Nothin is ever normal about me.

But, I do draw about 27 1/2 at 56# Beeler.

Probably, 26" at 100# Howard Hill.

LOL

Ralph, are you sure you have NEVER had either of these bows before??? I'm sure I've seen them leaning against that "TREE" of yours at on time or another. LOL  :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:  
Good luck with your trade,...Lloyd

The Beeler doesn't hold a candle to a Black Creek IMO...The Banshee has a better grip, better fit/finish, better manners, etc.

Not in the same league.  
The Beeler is not a bad bow, just not a Banshee.

YMMV

Just the opposite of Jake would not trade two banchee's for one Beeler. Beelers are just great bows and fit me great really like the grips. And yes have had both and still got a Beeler.

Isn't this an apples and oranges comparison.

My Beeler Tracker is a Mongolian style bow. Is the Banshee that style?

my beeler was a great shooter. liked the grip alot, draw was great and it shot very accuate for me. Draw didnt feel close to what it was marked though and it wasnt as fast as my other bow at the time. ended up selling it to help fund my hunter bow take down.

Never shot a beeler.
I had a 40# 56" banshee,wish I never sold it.It would draw to 29 but felt like that was pushing it.It was fast for the weight,no hand schock and I shot good with it at 18yds.Sold it for something heivier to hunt with.Now its just one of those I wish I kept.

You would need to shoot a 58" minimum bow if you draw 29". It's just over stressing the bow.

I think I will get my Beeler out and shot it against my Saluki.

Should be an interesting video to watch.
