I went to a 3d shoot this weekend with some fellow PA guys. We had a awesome time. At the end of the shoot Blackhawk invited me over to his van to show me some of his winters work. As he pulled out bow after bow we admired them all. He was pulling the last one out and I said to myself in my head "boy thats a nice one". He handed me the bow and said check out the stats on that one. I worked my eyes up and down the bow until i came to the part that said to Jon Houk from blackhawk. Needless to say I was deeply touched. I immediately gave my thanks and Chris replied..."your all the time making bows for people, its a bout time someone makes one for you". After some hand shakes (and a manly hug) we were off to the range. I shoot a handful of arrows and had a nice tight group at twenty yards...Its a real shooter!!! Its 60#@26" and draws really nice. It seems really nice the last four inches...really opens up. i love it!!! The bow is hop hornbeam and is 64" long.The handle is slightly set back and has a five curve profile.
The bow is named "the lesser half" and heres why
