Title: A great trade into another recurve!
Post by: carpsniperg2 on April 09, 2012, 01:47:17 AM: Well I bought a bow from the PBS event I went to. It was a 3 piece take down recurve. I bought it more to support the organization. I have a wicked 3 piece bow that is going to be built for me soon. SO I really did not need this one. I got to shopping around on tradgang and found a 1 piece blacktail recurve that caught my eye.

The blacktail bows are probably one of the nicest trad bows on the market right now. They have a year waiting list to have one built and they are very sought after. This bow had just been refinished by the owner and it looks great! I talked to the guy on tradgang and we ended up trading bows on Saturday. This girl is 51#'s @ 28 and draws so smooth. I am very happy!

I am playing with a newer product that is just like the no glove that has been around for awhile. Just a little different feel and fit. I also added some spiders to the string as well. This is a great looking and smooth drawing bow that will make a nice addition to the collection. I hope to shoot it a little tomorrow if I can find some time.

I put about 30 arrows threw her tonight and the bow shoots very nice. I am use to shooting a little shorter bow. This one is 64" so I am having to reduce my amount of cant on the bow. I like to lay a bow over pretty good but these longer bows I can't get away with as much. I have not been shooting a recurve for awhile and the 51#"s was plenty enough to get the muscles stretched out!

I also bought a widow this morning. One of the nicest ones I have seen. Been on the hunt for one for a couple years waiting for the right one, I found it this morning. I will post pics and more in a new thread tonight.

Post by: carpsniperg2 on April 11, 2012, 07:49:56 PM: QUAD: I like the spiders a lot. They have been very consisitant for me and worked well. I have them on about half of my trad bows.

I will get pictures up of the widow in just a minute. I will start a new topic on that bow, it deserves it's own thread.
