When I shoot my old bow what am I "feeling"?-technical talk
Ok guys I need some help. I am in the market for a new bow in the spring. I want it to function more like an old bow I owned in the past. I used to have an old archaic Bear Whitetail Master. I pulled it out today and began shooting it after not having shot it the last couple of years. I immediately felt comfortable shooting it and was hitting great groups. I currently own a 2004 Reflex Excursion. To be honest, I feel like the Reflex bow "jerks" me out of full draw when I release. It is like I am not in control of the bow at the moment of release. With my old bow, the Whitetail Master I felt like I was glued into my bow, in complete control from draw through release. The Bear bow did not have hardly any let-off, which makes it tough to draw for a long period of time, but it did make me feel tuned into the bow. It feels very smooth upon release and I don't feel like the bow is jerking me out of control and the last second. The
Anyways guys, from a technical standpoint, what was I feeling with my old bow that made it feel so comfortable? What current bows have the same type of make up as my old Whitetail Master? I don't want a big bulky bow like my old bow, but would like the same type of smoothness and control I experienced as comparedto my current bow. After listening to my breakdown, what bows would you recommend I shoot and look at in the spring? I don't need anything fancy. Thank you.
