got this one in last friday. shoots just as good as it looks. specs are, 55@28  56" black glass, bamboo cores , phenolic riser with red accents. I got Lee to cut it 1/8th past center and tap the riser for a plunger low enough to still shoot off the shelf. also he tapped the front for my hawg light. Bow shoots real good. took me about 10 min to tune to shoot a 400 spine axis full lenght with 318gns on the front. 625 gns with 28 percent foc. 10 shot average is 164 fps. I think I'll go kill some more stuff now. also John did a great job of matching the quiver. I got an angle with the big hood as well in case I want to shoot 3 blades. thanks for looking. Don

Nice!  

looking at the pics on here, well, they suck. the bow looks alot better in person. I can't take pics worth a sh***t. Don

WOW.....that's a fine lookin' set up.    
You just made my wish list one bow longer.    Oh well.

Nice looking bow. I'm liking the black glass more these days.

sweet bow don!

That is one sweet looking combo.Nothing wrong with those numbers either.

I see it shoots just as good as it looks !!!    


Bill

lokkin good don! bow looks(and obviously shoots) great!

NICE,,,ENJOY...

Nice Don!!

Now go kill something!

Sweet!  Go Forth and Skewer!!!! BTW, We got out the thrower Monday evening when the Venture Crew was at the house and shot (at) a bunch of aerials.  Lots of fun, Thanks again, Joe

Don, I would have been honored to take some pictures for you when I got to see that beautiful bow, Sunday, at your house, after the First Annual Croatan Dogwood Blossom Stump Shoot. Never thought about it though, I wish you had asked me. That red and black will just knock a bow lover's eyes out (up close and personal) I'm here to tell (anyone who'll listen). Shoots great too - Ruddy put a couple right in there with it, and then I was able to draw it back good enough to get a couple off (at 55# it's a tad heavy for me), the first was almost in there, the second I was able to draw a little closer to my length but then I wavered a little just before release and it went a little lower and left. However I can say that it was sweet drawing and quiet in the hand upon release. Also I would have been well pleased with either shot on most any game animal (or target) except the smallest(squirrels, etc.).
Then Don took it and put 3 easy shots one on top of the other (one was a bare shaft), right where he wanted them (dog gone smart aleck). I told him he was gonna cut some feathers loose with that rig.

Don Batten Signature (in deed) Anneewakee Addiction Recurve. I love the thumb rest on it. It is ten times more comfortable than one would possibly imagine by just looking at it. I really wish I had one on my Addiction, I think - LOL

Lee Hoots and John Dill, with Don Batten's input, have come up with a real innovative winner once again IMHO. (That H is for humble when I use it, as well as honest)

Don.....after ten minutes of trying to figure out what your title meant....I gave up!!!    

LOL - Did you figure it out by (the last of) my post, Terry, or did you miss that - i think we were posting at the same time.

Nice looking setup, Don!  When I bought my Addiction at ATAR last summer I didn't know there was a "Batten Edition"!  I am really enjoying shooting my Addiction, and am about ready to call John and get a matching SlimJim quiver for it....

Bernie, we better stop talking up John and Lee like this...their hats were a little tight last year at Denton Hill....!!!!


Lee

Looks good Don, Glad to know it shoots, It hurts my shoulders just marking the weight on the 55 #ers. stand proud cause not but a few qualify for a sig mdl the only other one I know of might be Bernie LOL! after a couple shots with it I named her. Damn this things goin be worst on hogs than "SWINE FLU"

Hoot

LOL - that's pretty bad all right, Lee but I think you are probably right when you check Don's shooting (and hunting) records -      (just imagine this is a purple hog - LOL)
