New Treadway Black Forest eta March 2

Woodpuppy · February 23, 2018, 09:54:00 PM

Getting psyched for TBOF next weekend. I ordered a Black Forest from Mike last year, and he'll bring it down to the shoot. This one will be 64" and 40lbs @ 30". We worked out wood a couple weeks ago, cocobolo and curly cherry:

Here's a teaser pic:

Can't wait til March 2!!! My 6yo twin girls and I will head down and hang out with good friends.

These are the days

Never owned one but those bows have always appealed to me best wishes and let us know how she does. You gonna do 600 spine carbons?

That is awesome. Wow I'm getting my daughter a 60 inch.

My 38#@28 Black Swamp takes 400s with 175 up front, so I'll start there. I do want to get into woods though.

My my, what a pretty bow.

Thats beautiful. I can't remember ever hearing about a 64" length Blackforest. It should be melting butter smooth and very stable.

I have a blackswamp 50# and love it. Bought it pre-owned from a ***********er. I shoot it almost every day. Would post some pics of it but not sure how to do it here.

Looking forward to a few more pictures when you can finally sit it down.

Woodpuppy · March 03, 2018, 10:33:00 PM

Love the new bow... met Chuck at the fish fry. Figure I need to string y'all along a little longer, but here's this pic to whet yer appetite!
