Well we put on of the little fellars through the ringer this morning on the shooting machine.  The bow tested is a basic model with maple limbs and black glass.

This bow is 52" ntn and 31# @ 26"

It shot a 283 gr arrow (9.12 gpp) at 183.7 fps drawn to 26".

Drawn to 28" at 34# is shot the same arrow (8.32 gpp) 200.1 fps.

I think the little fellar is a keeper.

Mike

Haven't noticed these bows on your site, Mike.
Can you tell us about them?

Steve

Very impressive Mike...those two you made during Christmas were some very nice looking bows.

Chris

Steve,

We are getting it on today, I hope.

This is a bow we designed for youth hunters and near hunters.  Also good for people with short drawlength.

It is a R/D Longbow offered from 50-54" ntn and 20 - 45 #.

The basic bow comes with your choice of our standard wood risers, maple limb cores and black glass, tips have matching accent to handle.

Same upgrades are available as on our other bows.

Thank you, Mike. I have a young fellow that is about ready to step up to such a bow. I'll keep an eye peeled.

Steve

Mike, I think you might have a new turkey special there. If you can make one that is 45# @ 27" there will be a run on them for spring season and us blind shooters (shoot from a pop up with our eyes closed).

Mike,

How about a 54" at 28 1/2"s????

I can't wait to see these on the site. Sounds like a great deal for the upcoming hunters/target shooters...

 

gator,

28 1/2 is a real stretch for the little guy.  We shot the 52 at 28 with the shooting machine but were watching the limbs close so we didn't pull past 90 degrees.

The 54 will go there, but it will have some pinch.

It's really designed for a 26 inch draw or so.


Mike

if it goes up to 28" and is up to 45lbs i really will see more adults getting it for themselves than their kids lol

those are some very impressive speeds!
any pics!?

28 can be achieved with the 54" and 45#s.  We are developing a 14" riser/handle on the same limb for adult shooting.

Mike

Thats outstanding I cant wait to get my hands on it and niether can Garrett.  There will be lots of pics next saturday when he opens it for his birthday.    

Shawn

Shawn,

Yep that's your boys bow we were running the numbers on.  Garrett should be a lethal weapon with that one in hand.

Mike

Do you have pictures and a price? 45 lbs at 26" sounds just about prefect for me.

Dang!! 183 @ 26" is fantastic!! Sounds like a WINNER!

Chester,

We will get some pics today before the bow heads for it's new home and the price is on our website.

The bow has a youth grip and sight window.  We are working on an adult version.

Mike

I got your email mike go ahead and post the pics.  I'll keep Garrett away from the computer until Sat.

Shawn

Here are some pics of the one we just shipped.





Mike

perfect.

hey wingnut....would the price remain the same on the adult version?
