Sapphire Hawk
« on: June 22, 2010, 05:50:55 PM »
Well I have wanted one for awhile now since reading everyones comments on this bow (expecially Bone).  So I emailed the bowyer (hornseeker) about getting one made,  unfortunately he could not do it at this time.  So off I went searching the internet and finally after a few months of keeping my eye out on stickbow and tradgang.... one came up for sale.  I bought it immediately and it is now mine!  Now those of you who know me... you all know I have (in the words of Matt) gone crazy on buying bows... well #14 trad bow is now in the house.  WIth the #15 coming soon from Curt Brisky ....   I have to say I am extremely happy with the Hawk, 62" and 52@28,  so with my DL of 30 it is around 58#'s.  I can tell you it is without a doubt one of the smoothest and quietest bows I have had the pleasure of shooting.  I have yet to shoot it through a chrono,  but I think it is as fast as my kabekona LB.... which was 204 feet/sec with a 400 Gr arrow.  Of course it still is a bit behind the OL Adcock ACS CX which was clocked at 223 F/Sec with a 500GR arrow of course that is with me pulling 65#'s.  Wasn't sure about getting a TD,  but it is light and a very good looking bow!  Big thanks to the bowyer.

Beautiful!!  Did you know Curt Brisky puts on a bow building class and you can build your own.  I am going to do it some day when I have the time, I work with curt at BP.

Yep, I plan on taking that class from Curt one of these days.  I have had the opportunity to shoot with Curt,  great guy.

Sweet looking bow, I have a new one almost finished, can't wait to get it.  It's coming with an extra set of limbs.

and its getting closer all the time Fred... I am very embarrassed on how long it has taken.. :(.it just seems that Life keeps happening!!!)  Lets say 2 weeks man.... ;)

NWW...I'm glad  you like the bow. Let me know when you chrono it. My bows have been tested side by side with ACS's several times and have been withing a foot or two, up and down.. .   ;)

What grain arrow will you be shooting out of it? Are you sure you draw 30? That is going to smoke.... how heavy was the ACS bow when you got 223?

Boneaddict above is shooting a 550 or so arrow at about 220-225fps... but he draws another 1 1/2 inches too!!!

Thanks! Wish I had more time to make these and get them in guys hands.

Hey..sorry for the horrible white, fairly sloppy writing on that bow.....if you ever get a wild hair...send the riser back to me and I'll redo that writing and refinish it for free... (maybe someday when it needs it huh??)

Ernie,
Not sure I will ever let it get away from me long enoguh to get you to do that!  Maybe when I get another I might but it looks good to me.  The ACS chrono'd that speed with a 500 graing arrow and I was pulling right at 65#'s.  I will chrono it this weekend if the shop has it set up when I go shoot there.

No need to be worried Ernie, I'm a patient man, it's WELL worth the wait.  2 weeks would be awesome. Thanks!

Definitely a good investment. I like mine. Fast shooter, smooth draw. I like the character of that one.
