Title: Hitman
Post by: oldgrouch on September 25, 2012, 01:06:00 PM
Got my Hitman 3 piece bow this morning.
All I can say is wow!

Got her strung up, grabbed a bunch of arrows outa the bucket and headed out back.

First 2 shots at 15 paces, touching, second 2 shots at 20 yds. about 2.5" apart.

No shock, no sound. At 42#@28" it has a very good cast.

Dang camera battery dead, pics to follow.

Nice bow.  I got the privilege of shooting one a couple of months ago.  I'm sure you are enjoying it.

Nice looking bow. I once saw a video where someone was demoing one. The bow was quiet too upon arrow release.

Beautiful veneers!  What are they?

Always great getting a new bow...especially when it agrees with you.

Spalted maple veneers.

Guys all evening I been walking out and taking 3 shots at a time from random distances(15-25 paces). My target area is completely dark, with just a solar yard light on the target.

This thing just stacks 'em, when I do my part.

I think Dave's grip design is really helping. I have nerve damage in my hands and this grip just lines up my wrist the same every shot.

Another cool thing is 5 twists up or down on the string allows me to use XX75's of either .464 or .500 spine.
