About a month ago I had the pleasure of talking to up and coming bowyer Jim Gainey of BlackCreek  longbows while visiting with John Sullens of Sipsey River Traditional Archery. Well Jim just happened to have a lefthanded bow for me to try and I was impressed with both the perfomance and the workmanship. So I ordered one, a 58 inch Banshee longbow, 42 lbs@28. It has a cocobolo riser with an osage radial cut with osage limb veneers and black glass and cocobolo tip overlays. I picked it up today and well....I will let the pictures tell the rest

Nice bow brother!!!     Man lately I've had the "I wants" and have been tempted to put up the McCullough. New bow pics are always a tease!!

I just got through putting about 150 arrows thru it and all I can say is WOW!!!!

Hey Scott, I knew you would like it. I was at Johns when you picked it up last night.

Lonnie it was nice meeting and talking to you last night. That little bow you got will sure 'nuff spit an arrow out. I know someone who is just about to order a Banshee (john1271) and I will ride up with him when he picks it up. Maybe we'll be able to shoot the bull and the bows.

hey scott, glad you like it.  its one of the purtiest ones with osage that ive built. enjoy.

Well, its the main man hisself.     Jim, you did a fine job on my bow.  I know John is gonna love his. When he picks his up we'll have to shoot some.

Nice looking bow Bubba.  Jim, really like your design...looking forward to seeing the Banshee in person at KY. in a couple of weeks....try to keep John under control please.
