Well,as much as we wish we didn't have to.....I'll be shipping out this purdy 'lil bow tomorrow before work. I hope the rest of the folks have as much fun with it as we did.Ames was a blast,everyone who shot the bow loved it.

Thanks for taking the time to review a Rainy Day bow and for the testing you did against some of the top name bows. Bows are also available in a satin finish.
Thanks George.

Jon
Thanks for the kind words am glad you liked the bow.

For you detail-oriented folks. I looked at the picture of my in-house range again just now. You can tell a lot about a person's preferences from pictures like this!

--I paper-tune.
--I tie on nock locators (red spool of bowstring)
--I like Sitka Gear
--Another hobby is building plank on frame boats
--I'm real careful with bows --foam pad on floor

I'm a Southern Baptist. (Just kidding here, I am but I don't think anything in the pics reveal that one!?

I recieved the Rainy day bow today and goy a few shots out of her and so far..pretty darn nice and quiet shooting beman 500 MFX shafts..front loaded..gonna do more shooting when i get some extra time

Will be waiting to hear more when you get a chance .

George, just picked up the righty from the PO today, usually on Fridays I meet up with some guys at the range after work but we've been dodging rain in and out the past couple of weeks down here in South Florida, today is no exception    I'll try to get into the back and get some shots off though.  Hopefully it clears up a bit tomorrow and I can get her to the range for some bigger distances, have about 15 yards in the back yard.

Soon as I get to spend some real time with her my review will be coming up  

As you all know good things sometimes come to a end, I had alot of fun with the bow inbetween packing and constant heavy downpours for the past 5days..I shot her in the house and out in the rain..the bow is a solid performer and could hang with the best..I apologize in advance I wasnt able to get pics or video but she like a middle weight arrow I shot light carbons and heavy carbons and settled on Beman weighing about 460 grains..she spit them out and she had a skinny string she would really shine, George thank you again for allowing the pass around. Headed out the door now to the PO to ship the bow to Kirk Russell in Co.  hope you enjoy the bow

Hmm...Righty in TN and now the Lefty has made it to VA....nice timing!

Got off work a little early and came home to find that Lefty had made its way to me.

After stringing it up with a BH of 8 1/4", I headed outside in the heat for just a few minutes.

My first shot was decidedly off.  Next 4 were within 6" of each other all right around the center.  "Hmm...not bad!"

So, I shot for another 20 minutes or so from 17 yards.  Here's my last group.



Initial impressions of the bow are:  I like the contrast in the riser; the bow is smooth from start to finish on the draw (27" for me); and it is whisper quiet.

To be honest, the grip is just a bit large for me.  But, maybe its more the double palm swells.  I didn't care for them much at first.  But, after a few minutes of shooting, it dawned on me that the belly mounted limbs (more forward handle) and the palm swells on each side really lock down the positioning of the bow in my hand.  I think it reduces the possibility of torquing the riser greatly.
My guess is that's the main reason bow shoots so accurately.

One other thing I absolutely love about the bow are the rounded edges on the front of the riser.  Pet peeve of mine is to have sharp corners on the front of the riser because I so often carry it by the handle horizontally, string down held at the handle.  But, again, that's just me.

Later on, I'll put up some more photos from the weekend that lies ahead!

Nice bow George!
