Yup, it's official, I hate blackhawk >:(.  (Only cuz he makes my best bows look like crap. :D  )

Hawk i don't even know what to really say cept i'm in love.
That low string angle makes her look like she could go another 4" or so!  Em's some crazy bends and beautiful woodwork bro.

Looks very cool.............I like the numbers ya ended up with.   62" ntn...47@27"    ...  I'm trying to shoot for 45# or a hair less on my bows. 50# getting to much for this ole' Goat.... :(  Legal hunting weight here is only 40# anyway.

Thanks a bunch everybody for commenting  :D its appreciated more than you all know...I put a lot of time and effort into this one,and plan to make another almost the same...and I got a slightly different version in the works already waiting to be glued tomorrow

Lol Jordan...nice one  ;D

Hate me all ya want Kevin ;) ..and I have to admit I'm almost an inch and a half shy of full draw in that pic due to the funny drawing position to achieve those shots...but yeah if ya look close enough the string still is barely contacting the curves even at that far..it comes off right before/at full draw...can you say smooooooooth.... 8)

Big ole' curves on that one Blackhawk, I like that. Gotta be smooth and fast with that design and the wood combos and snake look good on her. Back in my fg bow days my favorite was boo maple boo fg with a reverse handle cocobola riser that shot really smooth, fast and accurate and took a few deer for me. I imagine this one of yours shoots just as well buddy. Nice work.

Hawk you sure make some fine bows!! I'm putting that one in my all time favorites, maybe when I grow up I'll try to make one similar.

I do have a question regerding the reverse handle. Does it increase the performance of the bow or is it more for just looks?

Those full draw shots are a thing of beauty man. Great job even if that reflex is glued in. O:)
