Just something about all black bows.My next bow is having black glass.Does anybody else think this looks good?
I like the way it looks as well.I have come to perfer colored glass myself.Just got tired of all the woods.I still like a nice looking riser but could care less about what is on the limbs.I wind up painting most of mine camo anyway. :)
I like it alot.
I like black glass, i have it on my Big Five and the other hill i traded. I like the looks of the dark archer. I just bought a Bob lee before they came out with that one or i would have bought it.
I have a 'curve with black 'glass. Classy like a tuxedo.
I have a Saluki Ibex with black glass back and belly and a very dark cocobolo riser that looks great together. What's the old saying "Black goes with anything".

MartinD, you wouldn't happen to have any pics of that Saluki would you? My next longbow will have black glass on the back and belly but I haven't decided on a riser wood yet. Can't decide if I want the darkness of cocobolo or ebony or the contrast of bocote? Thanks.
I have a Bob Lee Hunter - I love black glass, especially on the Lee's.
duck'n PMed you.

You don't even have to ask me that question Bucky. Boy do I have something for you to see !!
Got it...reply sent...thanks Martin!
I have one of Bob's Origional[Wing] 52" 46# Thunderbirds "Black On Black" and it don't get much better than that!! this one is truly like new and I'm keeping it that way as it now has a place to call home on the Rack as I'm into the LB thing

I love dark bows. My hunter is dark gray with black limbs. It's awesome. That black archer is really nice. Came out after I received my HUNTER.
Everyone, have a great day and a better up coming season. :archer:
I like black glass as well.
But I have heard that they sometimes get a "milky" or "cloudy" look to them after they have been shot awhile.
Any truth to this?
I have an old all black Black Widow, with western diamondback skins, awesome combo.
My first bow was a Bob Lee "Thunderbird" 45#@28", 62 inches long. A beautiful bow. That is what I thought of when I saw the new Lee creation. :thumbsup:
Lenny Rock set up the Bob Lee booth at the Strictly Sticks annual shoot in SW PA last weekend. I handled the Dark Archer. Pretty awesome weapon. Has a neat pewter/silver Double Bull medallion on it too. Perfect shorty bow.

Is the riser black phenolic? Or a black laminated wood?
I just wish it was 60".. Doubt I'd get along with a shorty.. Does bring back memories of the T'Bird, but he T'Birds handle was way heavy,, this thing looks like a lean mean fighting machine.
What is the riser made of?
I wasn't a fan of black glass until I picked up this ChekMate Falcon Deluxe - has a nice look to it. Works well with the purple heart overlays. (http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j87/SOS_321/CMs2.jpg)
Anyone know if Brooks is a Trad Gang member?
I would put some black snake skins on an all black bow. I just think that all black limbs do not look great on most bows, so skin'em. Shawn
Different strokes for different folks, but skinnin something like that is akin to sacrilege.
If you don't like black buy a different bow
I've got an all black Wing P-II. I was told it's riser is made of some sort of Bowling ball material. I was wondering if anyone knew what this new one is made of.
I shot one yesterday a my local shop(Bearfoot Traditions). Great bow. He had a righty and lefty. My husband almost brought it home. They said the riser is made of Mircata(yes, the wood from bowling balls). Great bows. Wow, it can spit an arrow. The guys passed it around all night. Everyone loved it.
