so i cheated..
« on: October 04, 2010, 10:43:07 pm »
and bought one


shoots pretty well.  the draw is nifty on the bow.  its not a true composite because its fiberglass, but its about 47lbs at 28.  i shot it a couple times from the right side, boy is it gonna take some time to get it down.  every time i was hitting the fence! lol.  messed up one of my 3 new cane arrows in the process.

Now I can take my Kassai bow out of the gunsafe again!!!

Are you using the traditional thumb draw with the arrow on the "off" side?

yeah, you maybe can! lol

i need to make a proper thumb ring.  i got a piece of thick leather from a saddle shop, im just not feeling it.  but ya, i tried shooting it traditionally.  that will take some getting use to!

Looks nifty. I got to see some of Jame Parker's horn bows this weekend. WOW, can't imagine what kind of work goes into them. So who cares if you cheated, a "real" bow like that is an incredible amount of work, and could possibly not even hold together.

Aero....don't worry about accuracy tight now....move to within 5 yards of your Target....and do nothing but practice form....get some muscle memory built up....the accuracy will come with time....and I would not waste time with leather....get a good bone one. I have a Kassai Bow also...the Bear Model I believe....and a Toth...I enjoy them both.

Well then ....get 5 foot....whatever it takes...so you can just concentrate only on form...not arrow placement
