Title: New Black Canyon 'Black' Bow!
Post by: Geezer on March 25, 2013, 11:35:00 PM
Mike Hays is one heck of a bowyer!  Last August I ordered a new shorter length bow for spring turkey hunts that was a little easier to move around in a blind.  I also wanted a dark bow and a shorter one than the 64" Robertson I've been using. Well, Mike built me one that exceeded my expectations!  Grey Action Wood with Purpleheart and matte-black glass; 60" tip-tip, and it draws 56# @ 28" - it unleashes a wicked arrow.  Now I can hardly wait for our spring hunt.  Thanks, Mike!     :clapper:  
 
(When I posted these pictures I noted that the Purpleheart appears a lot richer than it really is; its much more muted in person)
