Great video man. I just bought the 62” with 40lb limbs. I have a 29,5” draw and intend adjusting the tiller to max giving me a roughly 45lb @29,5”draw bow. Wild mountain goats are my quarry. Can’t wait!🏆
I believe other than “Black” in the name, they are in no way similar, the Black Wolf is a carbon riser with Carbon limbs, black ek is an aluminum riser and I can’t say what limbs. Both are ILF fittings but otherwise completely different animals.
It looks like the prior owner overtightened the screws and one seated into the grip rather than compressing the grip. I got two small washers that fit, two slightly longer screws so it would be more secure and also placed two small strips of leather about 1/8” wide by 1/2” long at each end under the grip. It is secure and silent now.
I didn’t keep this one very long, I ran black wolf limbs on it, I had 40# and 50# limbs at different times. but my impressions are the carbon riser is silent, completely vibration free and the limbs are better than the carbon trad Velos satori limbs. They felt smoother in comparison and shot a few fps faster than a satori with carbon limbs. I liked the balance of the Black wolf way more than a satori, I was underwhelmed with the satori and would pick a BLack wolf again without hesitation. I went back to wood bows for the soul and style of them, the Black wolf is a serious performer.
@@Bowstringdotcom What are you using now? I waffle back and forth between the ILF and one piece bows. It's just hard to find a one piece with carbon that isn't an arm and a leg
I have a Striker Stinger takedown, R/D longbow limbs, 14” riser makes a 60” bow. I haven’t found anything that I can shoot as comfortably and as consistently, it just works for me. And it’s very confidence inspiring. The black wolf I should have given more time, but I made the decision because I like the look of wood and the feel of it too. Don’t get me wrong that Black wolf is neat looking, and a top shelf performer, but I missed the soul of wood. If I was to buy another ILF it would be the Black wolf. It’s limbs were better than the Satori Carbon Velos and the Uukah I tried, smoother and faster than both, the satori I would rank third of the three.
On any of these bows, my estimate would be if you step down 5 lbs of draw weight with the same weight arrow, you would lose 7-10 FPS. Really nothing to worry about. Its better to shoot a lower draw weight bow accurately, than one that is too heavy inconsistently.
@@Bowstringdotcom For sure, just curious I’ve been in the compound game for a long time I didn’t know if the speed loss would be similar or not but totally agree
It is impressive for a short recurve hunting bow. And yes, it will kill a squirrel... on up to a deer depending on the tip you use and your distance to the animal.
@@brettjamesmiller probably fairly comparable to your striker with the differences being the Black Wolf had no mounting points for a sight or quiver. You can mount a stabilizer or a plunger and not much else. WIN AND win designed it to be a bare hunting bow and for that it is a great option for the price
