The first impression;
The way he packaged the bow was very impressive. He made a wood box that was inside the corrugated box for shipping. The bow was in that box, complete with instructions as how to open the box correctly.
The bow was completely wrapped in bubble wrap, very secure and well protected.
The bow was in the sock case inside the bubble wrap and when I got a look at it, it was a big surprise.
Tom had told me that the riser was Hickory and the limbs are Boo with Black Glass. So I was thinking, plain Jane functional.
It is far from a plain Jane, there’s much character to the wood as well as some very pretty accent stripes.
As far as how well it is constructed, the finish is flawless, and the fades are tight to the laminations. This is something that I have only seen in high end custom bows. Most production bows stop short 1/8” or more from being a tight sharp fit to where the laminations come together.
OK, so now I am impressed with the first impression, let’s see how a test drive will do.
It’s 47# @ 28” so I take a guess that it will shoot the same arrow as my K-Mag.
Put the string on, braced it to 7” and drew it back. Hummm, nice and smooth, not much stacking.
Come on Buddy. (That’s my Jack Russel Terrorist)
So out to the range we go.
