Anyone have some feedback on these blanks. I know there cheap but how do they rate to other brands in the price range. Are they worth it for a couple cheap beater builds?
TIA

Re: Bing SHX SJ blanks
Yes they are.
My understanding is that Bingham had a relationship with Shikari. When Shikari folded a few of the mandrels were purchased by Bingham. Those mandrels are now at North Fork and the Bing SHX blanks are produced on those mandrels.
Very similar measurement numbers to the Mudhole MHX blanks of the same model.
They're worth it for the made in the USA factor alone.
Don't expect an SHX. But a very good blank for the price point.
