I promised y'all some pics of my Anneewakee Addiction bow, "Blackie", in action, after I picked up my new Kanati "Slim Jim" broadhead quiver. Well the last three days have been to gloomy/rainy to go climbing in the trees - so I'll do that later. However we were given a little opening in the skies this afternoon for some pictures and shooting - on the ground.

Loaded quiver = 3 BHs and a field tip rider - just "hangin' aroun'" (on a black, wrought iron plant hanger rod):

 

Back side, for a clearer look at the "rider" arrow - look close, you'll see a small round pad on the quiver hood, behind the tip, to cusion the point - prevents rattles:

 

Closer look of the same two views:

 

 

Then it was time for a few shots (both, camera and arrows - LOL) on my back yard range, so here's both sides of Blackie and (a full) Slim Jim, at (my) full draw:

 

 

I shot a second course saturday after the Slim Jim was attached. The only difference I noticed, other, than looks and convenience, was that the relatively small increase in weight seemed to steady my bow arm down some. I'll tell you, I love that, and it.

Love that bow Bernie!  What heads are you shooting?  Didn't realize that the NC coastal region started hunting as early as the SC low country.

Thanks, guys - for the comments and the good wishes. My BHs are Abowyer 145s with 35g screw-in adaptors (175g Total, like my field points all summer), Doug. Our season isn't open yet but bow season will open Sept 11 - not far off. I'll shoot Blackie out of my climber on the edge of my shooting lane, there in the pic behind me, befor then though.

Ahhhh, from your mouth to God's ear, Bill. I agree wholeheartedly   :archer:  .
