Bow for Bob!

No... not  kind of bow... The stick flingin' type. So, I was getting ready to send Bob/FishGal some $$ for my recent classified usage, and thought, hum...what about seeing what I could get for one of my backup bows from back in the day, and give whatever the highest bidder offers, to Bob instead? SO, what I have is a practically new (old) Oregon Black Knight. Company owner died in a plane crash scouting for elk... company went t1ts up after that due to some poor money management skills. One of Oregon's investors, John Strasheim, went on to start BowTech in '99, also located in Junction City. Lots of positive comments in an Archery Talk forum thread here: Oregon Black Knight Specs are: Oregon Black Knight Cast riser 60-70# draw Draw length 29" (spec sticker says 30", but I'm pretty sure I swapped modules with one of my competition bows) 41" axle - axle 7" brace height *** IBO speed of 335 fps! 94 ft/lbs of kenetic energy (Oregon made claims of it being the fastest bow in the world, and offered up $10K to anyone with a faster bow. I have a few posters, and magazine articles in the garage...somewhere...) It was a backup, and I know that no more than 2 doz. arrows were shot from this thing. It's been in a case its entire life.   Shameless bone shots   Next to a competition model...  Here are the rules: *Bow for Bob will run until through 10:00 a.m., 5/6/2010 (my next day off) *Buyer responsible for actual shipping costs (or p/u in Orygun) *ALL of highest offer goes to Bob and FishGal... make it huge

Reading through the Archery Talk thread linked above... it looks like the former of VP of engineering, design, and production of the original Oregon Bow Company, lives 30 min. from me, has a surplus of limbs, strings, etc., from these things, and posted on the thread a couple weeks ago.
He could probably be contacted if a person has questions.
Oh... and the cable slide was swapped with one from my other bows and has flaking paint, hence it not looking *new* in the pictures.
***disclaimer, bow is sold as is, and sale releases me from any liability...*** or however those disclaimer things go...

26.00 bid from a liberal........................ Frost it. QueQue, instead of liberal, don't you mean "progressive?" Sounds so much more...... well, progressive. Rather than just the same old liberal label. $26.01

FYI: You'll have to shoot it with a release... or never have full use of your fingers again  You sound very close in arm length to me Hank, but I think I'm 33/34. I actually prefer a 28" or 29", depending on if I'm using back tension or trigger style releases. Go to the local corner San Fransiscan' Archery Hut, and ask them to check your draw length...
