May have blackslidden!

#1 Post by Carpdaddy »

:? I love to build bows but as most of you know I am suffering from health issues. This is that time of year when I begin building or at least making plans for it. Last two years I have had to use Kenny to build me a bow blank to finish. Well I may have finally went totally backwards this year, I just ordered one of those cheap Chinese bows I see so much hoopla about, probably not much, but under $100! I realize where it’s from and all, just got curious looking and in a moment of weakness hit the Amazon order now button! :oops: :oops:

We all have those 'button-pushing moments'...we'll overlook it just this once as long as you give us a thorough review.
Looks like a nice R/D design.

How many bows does one man need? At least one more.

They seem nice. Been thinking about picking one up myself. Been iching for a new production bow or two.
Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow.

:shock: Very impressive for a cheap China bow, pouring rain so I didn’t get to test drive.

Mine is 40#, feels lighter to me, but they are probably right.
