Great story :laugh:
I really love those bows with a big hole in the front... one of these days someone's gotta make a joke longrod with out of a twisty stick with a chunk of Oak on the end with a wing nut stickin' out so it can be adjusted up and down the rod.
That'd tease those target boys.

That is one crazy nice, one of a kind bow you got there Hedgeapple. Not one a guy could just pick up at the factory. Nice story behind it also. That Blackhawk guys got some serious bow building talent. ;D

Glad you posted it Dave, Ive been waiting. I only got a few sneak peeks and couldnt wait to see more. Cool bow and cool story to boot.

I agree it's a killer in bow person for sure. So Dave on the hundred yard shot do you contribute it to your skills or the bow? :laugh:

Glad to finally see some pictures of that thing.  It's a beauty for sure.  That hollow knot looks like a pipe bowl.  Great job on it Blackhawk and great job on the 100 yard kill shot Dave.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Great looking & shooting bow Chris and Dave. It seems to have some real good mojo after seeing that long shot you made! One of a kind.
