Hi Brian,

John, I've owned a two of them.   I don't remember for certain but I think the bowyer was Jack Smith....they have not been made in several years.

Both of the Blackhawks I had were good shooting bows...64", mild d/r.

They were made by Jack Smith in Illinois. I have several of them. They were reasonably priced bows and they shot well. Jack used to build bows and farm but he is retired now, at least from bow building.

How old is your bow, there used to be a Black Hawk archery in Penna. It was in McKeesport.They made quite a few bow, recurves and longbows.  :confused:
