What kind of Bow are you shooting?

[ShadowWalker]

Both of my bows are for fish. I have a browning barracuda compound that is short and quick with 0 let off. I have a pse kingfisher recurve that I never shoot. It's too heavy and long on the boat or wading.

I am looking into some wood recurves for both fish and small game hunting, as well as target shooting this winter though.

Just came from the archery shop and got to shoot a PSE X-Force. That bow was very nice! 8)

The only thing I did not like about it was........................The price tag. So it went back on the shelf.

Jeez, I had a bunch, but the last ones I shot for target and hunting were PSE's.
One was a NOVA, which I sent back for some mechanical work and when it came back it was a brand new bow, cables, limb's etc. Boy did that thing become a smooth shooting bow after the factory re-did it.

I really haven't tried these new weird looking bow's, but I liked my PSE's so well I don't know if I'd ever like anything else.

I tried one of those short, hi-performance bows at a 20 yard indoor shoot. Barebow, fingers, I just couldn't make it work consistently enough. I had the same trouble with an under-draw and fingers. For really accurate shooting with those Technical marvels you need a release.

I partnered with a guy on an outdoor, unmarked 3-D course. We just stashed targets in the brush on a hillside. No particular distances, or shooting lanes.
He shot barebow compound (like me) and he had the Hi-score for the shoot. He Beat all those Technical marvels with his fingers.
But that's with a longer (PSE) Bow.

Better pics of the new bow with the new digital camera.

It's been kind of tricky to get the drop away adjusted for vane clearance but it's dialed in for the moment. It goes back to the shop on Monday to have a set of 70# limbs installed and then it will have to be tuned all over again.

Just won the lottery eh?

Im jealous. Those are nice looking Bows gentlemen! :beer:

The Hoyt Tenacity II I have goes bye bye tomorrow! Not sure if I will have my new one by the time Archery season is over.

Nah. It's called being buddies with the local archery shop owner. 2008 holdover for almost half of what it sold for in 2008. :wink:

Jim, what are you getting? I've got a fully loaded Hoyt VTec with a dozen arrows that needs a home. :lol:

Kaaa-ching! :LOL2:

Very nice.

The X-force and Monster bows are what all of the local archery shop groupies have jumped to in the last month or so. Nice bows. The Monster has too many gadgets on it for me, though. I'll be able to pick one of theirs up for about half of what they paid for it in 6 months if I want it. :lol:

The more I shoot this 101st, the more I like it.

I swapped the limbs out for the 70# ones on Friday and this thing hits like a Mack truck now.

400 grain hunting arrow @ 316.7 fps = 89.2 ft/lbs ke.

That's 13 ft/lbs more than the Hoyt I was shooting with a heavier arrow and I thought that I had it good then. My first 40 yard group yesterday put 2 arrows all the way through my bag target and buried them 3/8" past the insert into the maple tree I had it leaning against. :shock:

 

[Jim]

nice to hear! What kind of target?

 

[Quackrstackr]

It's an Arrow Brake Hunter bag target.

[Quackrstackr]

I'm liking the 101st.

43 yards:

On the suggestion of a buddy that shoots tournament archery, I suspended the bag off of the ground. That made a huge difference in arrow penetration. The bag absorbs a whole lot of energy by moving back now. It's about 6" above the ground there though the photo doesn't look like it.

[Quackrstackr]

Sounds like an Oneida Eagle.

Those things were the shiz back in the day.

 

[bird dogg]

haha lol
know about what year an some history on it

 

[Quackrstackr]

Those bows have been around for a long time. It's hard to give a guess on a year model.

They were the high performance bow at one time.
