Title: All black bows
Post by: Nathan Killen on December 13, 2012, 07:38:00 AM
For some reason I'm on this "Black" stickbow kick ! I was wondering if any of you guys had any black bows you could post pictures of ? Maybe even some backed with Black Snake !

Mine is not backed with snakeskins, but I love my black bow.  It was made by Doug Rutter.

The almost all black bow makes for an awesome   blind bow but every time I looked at it something seemed missing. I'm hoping the snakeskin backing will do the trick.

Enjoy

Jedimaster, those maple overlays on the limb butts of your RER really set it off!
Title: Re: All black bows
Post by: Jedimaster on December 14, 2012, 10:27:00 PM
Kiefer, I no longer have any of those bows sad to say. Our very own Panhead Johnson has the Big River in his collection. I can't remember who any of the others went to. That RER was a beauty! The overlays and accents were actually bamboo (unless I'm greatly mistaken). The first and only time I've seen it used like that. Those overlays were paper thin and faded right out to nothing. Beautiful work. It was a great bow but I didn't shoot it as well as I did the original RER takedown. Of them all, the HH Badger had the prettiest hand-rubbed finish but the SK is the one I'd love to have back. What a sweet shooter. And like all black bows, a beauty!

Wow, Longrife...my two favorites as well!  I have a Super Wildcat but it isn't black.  

Bill, is the Groves still made?  That is a good looking bow and appears as if it would feel great.  Groves has been known for decades to have terrific grips.

My black bow's no beauty compared to all of of the wood bows in this string...but when it's time to get out into the snow & ice I'd rather not ruin a nice looking bow.
The good news is that with a machined riser, carbon ILF limbs, Fast Flite string & a plunger she's a quiet & accurate shooter that hurls arrows down range only slightly slower than my Sasquatch. With the ILF advantage I tuned her to let the stack come right in at my anchor point - saves on trying to find lost carbons in the snow... M
