Got these bows for $195ea shipped , and really like how they shoot....

One with the carbons is 62in and 52@30 , set up with 400 carbons..

One with the wood arrows is 62in and 46@30 , with 60/65 cedars....

Will get in more shooting with them and give an honest report on how they do. Have shot a few rounds of 3D in my front pasture ( have a 30 target round of mixed 3D and homemade targets ) with the 52 pounder and liked it so much I got another one. Hope to be going hunting for a few days this weekend but not sure yet , hope so cause that's my favorite test....

I bought them from Lancaster the bow is a Galaxy Black Ridge. I'm guessing they are just a cheap imported bow but they fit the bill for what I want. I like the look and feel of the bow and they shoot plenty fast and are very dead in the hand when shot. They come with a B50 string but have tips for the super strings so I will try some FF or D97 also.  I like bow quivers on for weight so I added the side inserts on the one. Like I said will report back with how they work out but so far so good....

Those look really look great Sam !  And dead in hand to boot !  That's a good find,  not quite as good as a garage sale. But it fit you need.

Just back from a short 1-1/2 day hunt , took my bike on a 3-1/2 hour ride to a buddy's place. Had hogs at 25yds twice and never had a good shot , was fun just to get to stalk around the ride home was not as fun when a cold front blew in.

Will get some pics of the bows at full draw....

Yes Sam, I believe the Galaxy's are imports but they shoot well. They also make a take down recurve model for $200 range. My friend got one from LAS for his son in law for Christmas.Those longbows look nice,like the handles.

Post by: SAM E. STEPHENS on February 12, 2018, 05:04:00 PM
Yea I like the take down longbow they make for $200 , wish it was longer they only make it in 60in.

Sam could kill a deer with a willow branch strung with kite string. Lol. There is no telling what he will do with these two beauties this year. Looking forward to all the harvest pics this year Sam.
It looks like you have a great set up. Good luck.
