Title: Going long
Post by: rps3 on September 25, 2016, 08:52:02 pm

I have accepted the fact that I am just not able to shoot shorter bows as accurate as I would like. This will be my hunting bow this year. It had a lot of twists and dips with alignment issues but does not have a single blemish, no pins or knots.

Just shy of 69", low 50's at 29" draw. Mass weight of 22.5 oz. Thanks for looking.

If you can shoot it as good as it looks, you'll have a fine hunting season.  Excellent work.

Thank you all very much. The bow does shoot great for me, and I am looking forward to opening day this Saturday.

That's a real beauty.  Short bows are cool but long bows definitely blow them away in shooting.

Must be extremely smooth to draw and really zing a heavy arrow? Nice finish work

looks nice,, hope you get to try it out on a real target,, :)

Post by: rps3 on September 26, 2016, 04:46:04 pm

Thanks again all.

The arrow I am drawing in the picture is an unknown shoot I cut behind my house, and it flies perfect. Hopefully this combo will get it done.
