Archery

Wondering what bows people shoot what kind of archery they prefer and also all the stuff that goes on with sending arrows down range.

Ill start off by letting you guys know what im working with.
i have a 04 martin phantom II with magnum limbs and fusion cam it has a 5 pin(it can hold 7) spothogg A martin spring arrow rest it has a pse stabiliser limbsaver dampiners. a tru fire release and i shoot easton st epics with 100gr points. my fletcing vanes are 2 inch broadhead Blazers

i'd have to say 100+ yard targets are the funnest but my groups are much beter 65 yards and under

sold my compound bow . gonna buy a new one . got a badass crossbow still tho

what kind of bow do you plan on buying? my crossbow isint nothing fancy but it does the job

something fancy and high tec. not sure yet. my crossbow kicks ass bigtime. better than any compound. but not much you can legally hunt with em. . too powerfull for small game and the carbon fiber bolts are expensive. i bought 30 LOL. my crossbow is 2 piece unlike my old one. i can quickly remove the bow part for storage. got red dot sights and also a scope. trying to put a laser on it . lol

nice sounds fun! as far as high tec. bows i would look into a matthews or a bow tech

i think i want a small treestand bow. when i was back east my buddy got one it was small and light great for brush too. still had good arrow speed too. got to call him and ask the brand it was

mission archery witch is the sister company to matthews makes some very small parrallel limbs compounds bows that are perfect for treestand shooting reasnable prices and good looking. im pretty sure they come with lifetime warrentys also

I like this thread!I got a Bowtech tomkat 2008.I use 70# draw,tru ball stinger release,everything on the bow is still stock.Use Gold tip arrows,100 grain 4 " vein's.Like to practice out to 70 yards.I turn my body a little to the right when I shoot(right handed)This stuff can be addicting!Still have my Delta target that I bought in 2005.Thanks for starting this thread!
Sorry I meant to say,I turn my body to the left,not right.I don't like the way the traditional stance is.

thanks for posting fastcast sounds like a nice set up my next bow will most likely be a bowtech swat or sniper. i've had the pleasure of shooting the general and soldier models and there as sweet a bow as it gets. my brother uses 4 inch vanes with whitetail arrows he is a hell of a shot too. i only shoot 2 inch because thats all the fletching guide i have will do

oh and i completly agree its adictive as all hell. im lucky enough to be part of a bow club that owns a 97 acre range with 42 different targets and a practice range with another 16 targets. i spend all my free time out there now that i got my girl into shooting

Saving my penny's for this little baby

VENTURE
AWARD WINNING VALUE

Spot, stalk, creep, crawl…you’re ready to do whatever it takes to bring home the big game. The Venture is a bow that honors that mission. It’s strong, sleek, compact and loaded with added string suppression and a roller guard for extra-smooth stealth. This bow is packed with proven technology. At an amazing $499, the Venture is quite possibly the best value bow on the market.

Gotta love the acreage.I've been thinking of going to Minnesota some day to hunt.I have a lot of relatives there with land.

never shot a venture before but thats a great looking bow

I also don't group my shots anymore,lost to many arrows from being hit.

alot of people in my bow club go for elk in oregon, washington and montana i want to kill wild hogs

I've been shooting for over 20 yrs, hunting for the last 12

My hunting bow is a Forge Firestorm, 33" axle to axle, Carter release, shooting CX Wolverines with G5 broadheads, I can put 4 in the spot at 80 yds and my furthest kill was 45yds, downhill through a tree, hit both lungs and heart

I have a matching pair, I keep one in the USA and one in the UK, both with strings and cables made by me ..... the bows are so closely matched you can swap pin sights

My target bow is a new custom made Barnsdale Classic X, shot fingers with a Davis sight and Merlin long rod, shooting Xtreme Carbon arrows

damn bush dr i'd like to get a shooting lesson from ya 20 years is no joke. what do you hunt for? my girl has a killian check it sight thats more like your target sight.

i miss being on 33 acres i had targets everywhere LOL. here in cali if i wanna practice its in the desert.

yeah i hear that if i want over 40 yards i have to drive out to the bow club not that 35 mins it far but i wish i had some acreage at home

theres a few ranges in most areas in california that you can shoot at least 12-20 times a year when they open to the public

here is most of them im sure there is more
