"Knight Train" BBI (with pics)
« on: August 18, 2009, 09:34:28 pm »
Here is a bow that I made from one of David Knight's (KnightD) famous blanks.  It is one if his highly reflexed blanks.  The bow is 57"NtN  and 44# at 27".    It is Boo backed Ipe with Ipe and Osage tip overlays.  David will have to chime in on the handle wood combo, it has many beautiful exotics.  The finish is 6 coats of Tru oil.  I haven't chrony'd it yet but it spits out my 480+ gr arrow fast and flat.  I'm very pleased with the performance of his design, and how smooth it draws and shoots.   Hopefully it will help me get some meat this year. ;D  Thanks again David for all your help and answering my endless stream of questions and emails.  Thanks for looking.
