Now ya' done it! You made a perfectly good piece of trim into a weapon! Good art work man, nice lack of set as well.

Great job on the gar bow Blackhawk, I remember looking at pictures of the original several times, looks like you did a perfect recreation in every aspect.

Very nice bow! Congrats!

If you could post a full draw pic from the side, this would be great  :)

By the way, do have a possibility to measure the arrowspeed?

Very nice work!  I've thought about reproducing that bow a time or two.  I wouldn't do it the justice that you have.  I wonder if anyone will reproduce a bow made now a days in twenty years?  Josh

It looks like you're the master of scary thin tips! :o  Good job, Sir!!

Great job reproducing that bow. Always thought that bow looked scary thin at the tips and wanted to try to make one myself.  Very cool work.

Amazing work Chris. That paint job would have left me dizzier than normal. Your confidence in what you do shows through in the bows you tackle! KUDOS!
