Got my new bow yesterday, I'm in love

It's a Samick Stingray #45 @ 28" and drawing to 29". Just over 1&1/4 pounds and smooth. It doesn't stack which surprised me since the fadeouts are 23" appart on a 58" bow. With bow hush and hush puppies installed on a dacron string it's just as quiet as my Tomahawk longbow and a ton faster than my Grizzly or T-hawk, both @ #45 and shoots the 480 grain arrows perfect. The only issue I'm having is hitting high, I'm not acustomed to the flat trajectory and the shelf is cut way low so it's close to the hand. It's not finished like a custom bow by any means but I couldn't be happier.

I might add that although both of the groups were high, thats 1 field point and 1 Magnus from 25 yards 2 times.

Very nice. I like the US of Texas.

Looks like you found a good one.

Looks like a keeper to me! Glad you like it!

I had one, and found it as you describe. Nice bow, but I traded it for something a bit heavier. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

Congrats!

I purchased one back in the spring. I have been more than pleased with it. I have shot many arrows through it. It is only a 40#er but slings an arrow rather well. You will be happy with it.

Nice lookin' bow. Hope you enjoy it.

Samick is a good price-performance ratio.
And it looks nice. Congrats!

Nice looking...it has the appearance of Black widow's TF model, does it not?

Wallcrawler · July 09, 2009, 06:05:00 PM

Just don't name it or the wife will get jealous.

Similar to the BW TF and about $600 cheaper, I can't get over how fast and quiet she is. Don't have a name yet, how about some ideas.

Beautiful!

I've just bought one for my 15 years old son yesterday. I'll tell you how it shoots in a couple of days.

Sweet looking bow!
Raise your nock point 1/8 inch at a time until it hits where you want it to.

Dig a hole about 8" deep and stand in it and you will be hitting the bullseye. Nice bow.
