I just want to say thank you to Boneaddict and to Hornseeker. Boneaddict for pointing me towards the Sapphire Hawk Longbows. The photos of my bow were outstanding, but don't even come close to how beautiful this bow is in person or the craftsmanship. It is a work of art. Thank you Ernie, you have rekindled a fire that has not been burning quite so bright the last few years. I look forward to getting deadly with this bow and cannot wait to harvest a bear, elk or deer with it...or all three. Thanks guys!!

Thanks for the kinds words...I sure appreciate it! Keep me posted on how you like it! :hello:
-
quit goofing off and get back to sanding. LOL
AWESOME Machias. Now you know why I was giddy for you. Pretty damn cool huh?
-
It really is, the wifes not happy, you know sleeping on the couch so the bow didn't leave my side, but she'll get over it. :chuckle: Took it to work today and a few guys were ogling over it. :drool:
-
Pretty soon we'll both have two of them. :tup:
-
We need Pics....

Here you go. The limbs are black glass on the "back" brown glass on the "belly" and have action boo, walnut and maple in them....
The riser is bocote sandwiched between leopardwood...

Me too!! I need to start stashing cash!
Awesome bows!
-
Nice bow, makes me wish I had my Black Widow still.
-
Funny thing about a Trad bow...... Its often a helluva alot cheaper than a compound with all of its extra gadgets, and its also a work of art, at least I think these are.
-
Beautiful bow! Look forward to seeing some success pics!
-
I look forward to the success pics too!!
Doug... heck...I was looking at the new Mathews and Hoyt... I think they were like $890...and thats JUSt the bow. The quiver was $120, sight was 100, the rest was 110... case 100, release 85$... Booom.
However, you can pay $1500 for a "popular" brand of trad bow... but you can get one just as good for $550... then $60 on arrows and $75 on a quiver and you are down the road!!!
-
Oh the pressure!! :)
Shoot, I just ordered another Hawk with extra limbs and an extra string, some exotic veneer, and some carbon and it still should only be right at a $1000.....I think? :chuckle:
This bow is so freaking smooth and fast...and soooo whisper quiet. I'm going to try and nail a turkey over in ID the next few weeks. We'll see!!
-
I'd like to shoot a turkey with my new bow this year...BUT ITS NOT DONE YET........ :) There Machias, I applied some pressure back the other way.

Hey don't tick him off, he may make you one that shoots like the one Mel Gibson shot in the movie "Maverick"!!
:chuckle:
-
He knows I am teasing. :) Scouting reports say hes working on it.
-
Its number 1 priority right now Doug... Behind...Family, Work, Hunting.... :chuckle: But it'll be coming. Not sure about spring turkey though!!! :(
Hey..I won "best looking bow" and got about 6th in speed this year at the Walk the Talk event with 37 bows entered!!! And the 5 bows ahead of me were 1-5 FPS faster... not much! WooHooo!
-
Awesome Ernie, congrats!!! I have been following the Walk the Talk a little bit on another site, that is real kick @$$, very happy for you!!
-
Very cool Ernie. Congrats.
Where do you pick up those "round" targets where you keep track of the scoring?

That one called the "maple leaf blue face" is the one I use... they have lots though!!!
-
Thanks. Time to start stretching the hand. I have a goat to kill this fall.
-
Yea and I have a sheep and moose to kill too!! :chuckle:
-
Well if we are gonna keep this up..........I got a 200 inch muley to kill, a moose, and a monster bull elk...........if I have time I'll use my sheep and goat tag...... :chuckle:
-
I'm drawing three goat tags this year. I only want to get in shape one more time in my life.
