Title: My New Rainy Day Bow arrived
Post by: RodL on September 27, 2014, 07:53:00 PM
My new Rainy Day bow arrived yesterday, took some pictures of it for everyone to see.  I told George I wanted the camo version of one of his creations and this is what he made for me.  Its #50 @27", dead quiet and really smokes an arrow in my opinion. I thought his bows would be a little heavier in the hand but I think its as light as many other bows I have handled.  Here are some pics of the bow.

Thanks guys, the bow shoots really well and is very quiet with no hand shock. The arrows that I used for my other bow shoot well from this bow as well, they are beeman classic 500 shafts that are cut to 29" with the 75grain brass inserts and a 150 grain zwickey 2 blade broadhead. I will try and get a video posted of me shooting the bow so you can see and hear how the bow shoots.

Just to clarify, Rainy Day Bows are the name of the bows made by George Perez. If you are looking for that style of bow I would highly recommend you give George a call or email him. You can look him up in the sponsors under Rainy Day Bows.

Nice looking bow. I sure loved playing with the pass around bow a few years back, a little low poundage for me...but really moved a heavy arrow! I know you will have some fun with that beauty!   :archer:
