Pics as promised, George makes a nice bow, shot my AD trad lites very well and drew back to 29" pretty darn smooth. I too had some adjusting to the dual swell grip to make but the more I shot it the more I liked it. Very nice bow, was thumping the targets nice and solid  











Thank you very much for the opportunity to test drive it George, you make a very nice bow

Okay....spent a nice weekend with the lefty.  It is packed up and ready to ship tomorrow.

I'll stick behind everything I put in my initial review.  This bow is smooth and quiet!  I've gotten use to the double palm swells this weekend.  I'm covinvced they help me shoot more accurately because they position the bow in my hand the same each time.

I don't know if that's true, but I've shot this bow as well as any other bow I own and better than most all of them.

Here's a couple of photos right before I packed her up.







Thanks for allowing me to participate in your bow review George!

Here is my take on the Rainy Day bow that George let me try out for a week : The bow was constructed of a actionwood for the riser, 2 different colors that made a nice contrast. It had rear mounted limbs which I can only compare to my Black Widow. I now understand why BW uses this type limb mount and I suspect that's why George uses them. They make for a very smooth drawing bow. I actually liked the Rainy Day bow better than my BW as far as physical weight goes, it is lighter to carry and just as stable to shoot. I shot 400 grain carbon arrows (.500 spine) out of the bow drawn to 28.5 inches. No stack or hand shock with the bow braced at 8.5 in. Nice stable feel to bow and quick shooting arrow.The riser had a great design and a small indexer type hump for my thumb. I really enjoyed that. I don't have photos to post but I shot pretty good with this bow, I wouldn't be afraid to but one of George's creations especially for the very reasonable price.
I shipped the bow out on Friday, June 29 to Brad in Fowler, Michigan, priorty and insured. Thanks so much to George for letting me try his bow.
Trad brothers, let me know if you have any questions, I would be glad to answer thru PM.
Thanks again George,

I received the Rainyday pass around bow on Thursday, June 28th.  After unpackaging the bow ,I looked it over for any cracks,or delamination,there was none. The bow is a very good looker ,and I liked the heft of the riser,it made for a very stable bow in the hand. After putting the bow together ,I went outside to shoot it. I tried different brace heights ,given in the instructions from George. 8 1/2 shoots  best for me. After finding that brace height,I shot 4 different arrows,all had 125 grain field points,but the arrows are as listed---29" -2016 Legacy 4 fletched
                                        29"--2018 XX75 Gamegetter
                                         29 "--AD Lite
                                          32"--AD Stinger
the last 3 were 3 fletched.  The pic is of that group from 20 yards,and they were shot in no particular order.
Its a very forgiving bow.

I guess the cons for me were the grip ,to large for my hand,but George addressed that already,and for me a duller finish for hunting. Overall I think its a well made bow, smooth draw and dead in the hand,I'd be happy to own and shoot one.

Finally had a chance this morning to shoot the pass around bow.
Set brace height to 8" and went to shoot.
Shot my MFX classics 400's and my Gold Tip 5575.
Arrows cut to 30.5" with 100 grain tips and the classics have the inserts glued in. I have a 29" draw and the bow drew smoothly to that with no stack at all.
Overall a smooth shooting and quiet bow with no vibration for me on the shot.
Like others have stated the only thing i would like is a duller finish on the bow for hunting.
Overall a very nice bow and a good shooter.
here is a picture of my 4 arrow group this morning from 16 yards. sorry but is a cell phone picture but you get the idea.

That is some great shooting what a group. I used a gloss finish to show more of the wood grain in the limbs and I understand what your saying .In a hunting bow most would want a satin finish . I appreciate your review.

Thanks George

[bogeyrider63]

That is a sweet looking bow. If anyone near the St. Louis area has one Pm me please. I'd like to see it in person. I am more picky with recurves than longbows, due to highly figured grips I'm sure. The Bear takedown thin grip is what I prefer on recurves.. Anyone?

Was finally able to unwrap the bow today after receiving it yesterday. If it shoots as good as if looks or feels, I am in for a treat!! It will will be the weekend before I will be able to really test it and write a review.

Will be waiting for your review give the bow a good work out this weekend and let us know what you think.
