You know it was probably the truth:);):D

RE: Which Bow would you choose.
 

No offense BigJ12, I almost had to give away a browning I was using for hunting... I knew better, got a good price on it and thought it's better to take that into the woods thanone of my 3D bows. Hate to tell you padnar, but you need to go and shoot a real bow, and you'll stop that stuff about it doesn't matter what you shoot.. I've owned just about every brand of bow on the market... And I am not a sissy about had shock...a good bow won't have it... I shoot the fastest bow on the market, and has no shock what so ever.Hey, if you love your browning that's cool. Just don't say it doesn't matter to the deer, it matters if you place a good clean shot and get a quick kill, or gut shoot one and let it suffer.

Sounds like you have too much money and not enough time to research what is the better technology......just a observation, don't get your holy panties in a bunch.

RE: Which Bow would you choose.
 

Rev.

I stand by what I say. I have shot all types of bows out there (in my draw length) and while they are all different I could shoot all just fine. Pulling back the bow all day is no problem, no matter what the draw is like (or weight for that matter)

I don't know what "hand shock" you guys are feeling. Some of you act like the bowwill jump out of your hand if your not shooting the latest and greatest bows out there. Great marketing if you ask me.I bet most of you guys load up your bows with all those little "limb Saver" gizmos because heaven knows if you don't have themyour bow will be a buzzing rattling mess,:eek:again great marketing.I use a 4in Doinker Stabilizer and string leachs (or whiskers) and that's all, nothing else. All my bowsshoot just fine, no problems at all. No loud noises, no excess vibrations, no buzzing, no violent hand shock either.

I have no problem putting my arrows where they need to go either at the range or in the field.I have never shot a bow that I hated. All bow manufacturers have had problems with their bows one time or another including Browning and Bowtech. I'm not talking about that.

All I do is hunt and I want something that is reliable, durable and accurate and most bows on the market today fit that bill. You want to spend all thatmoney for a few more fps it's fine with me but don't try to sell me on it.

I canhaveany bow I want, money is not an issue for me.I just can't see spending money on something more expensive when what I have does everything I want it to do and very well at that. And yes what I have is a "real bow" it kills "real deer" and does it "real good"

Seems to me that a stabilizer was created, like inventions like limbsavers, dampeners, and so on, was to improve function, versatility, and play. Putting on a stabilizer and string leaches, and then damning the world for wanting extras on their bows to improve whatever they think needs improving, well something smells of hypocrisy, and it is not me. And who was it trying to sell you the bow or accessories that you didn't want, because you have a system that works? For a man claiming to be almighty and his ****ake mushrooms don't smell, you really make a big deal of things.

RE: Which Bow would you choose.
 

First of all, just when did I claim to be "almighty"?

Second, I never said stabilizers don't work, I'm sure they do to some extent.

Also what I didn't say is Ishot many deer back in the day with NO stabilizer on my bow at all.Yes I'm sure they will dampen some of the vibration but alot of folks think their bows will be this vibrating mess without them.I put even less credence on all of those "limb Saver" stick on gizmos that seem to pop up everywhere now! Hell they even sell them for your rest, sight, quiver as well as your limbs, limb bolts, you name it and they (the manufacturers) will try to convince you that you NEED one of those little rubber dudads on every part of the bow in order for it to be "stealth" Christ, how did we ever even kill a deer years ago without these God sends?:eek:

You missed my point all together these gizmos are a microcosm of what the big bow companies are trying to pull on everyone. By letting you think you will never be able to kill a deer with that hand buzzing, noise making, hard pulling, jumping from your hand bows the "other" bow manufactures are trying to sell.

I choose not to buy into it and I'm labled "almighty".......spare me.

RE: Which Bow would you choose.
 

If your going to do a poll, why in the crap don't you make it a honest poll. My current set up is a Mathews Switchback, before that I shot a Martin Fury, and two differentGolden Eagles before that. I love my Mathews but if I wasto think that everyone else should like it to, thatwould be very stupid on my part. I do feel that is what you are saying about your favorite company with this poll.I have said this before but because I teach archery education I try outas many different types of bows each year. I feel most of them make very good bows, sure each have differnt features and selling points and each have a fan base. I for one am glad there are so many companys, they keep each other ontheir toes andeach strive to design a better product each and every year. I tell my students when buying a new bow to shoot them allthenown and shootwaht feels best to them.If you don't like a certain company thats fine don't buy their product, but if your going to take a poll, then put most if not all the major manufactures in the poll. To do otherwise is shallow thinking in my opinion.

RE: Which Bow would you choose.
 

For the record, I never said Mathews, hoyt or Bowtech didn't make great bows, they do. I was just trying to put this whole "class war" into perspective. Some people think that unless you buy one of those bows you have junk. A perfect example is the Rev's post....it says it all:eek:

And

Finally

According to the Rev (what he was implying)unless I run out and buy"a real bow"I have no business hunting with my inferior Browning because afterall all it's onlycapable of gut shooting deer.:eek:

The sad thing is....alot of people think like him,he was just misguided enough toactually post it.

RE: Which Bow would you choose.
 

Well idaho I didn't put Mathews on here because of all the hype. I also didn't put the Company that made the bow I hunt with on here either because I figured it would only get one vote and that would be mine. So as far as yer whining about not putting Mathews on here maybe start yer own poll with just them. I bet you get alot of votes but you will also get alot of boos from the non-mathews people also. By the way I shoot a Merlin Storm and have killed numerous deer with it including a 150 class buck.

RE: Which Bow would you choose.
 

Join the club!!They pulled mine for my opinion!!I thought that is what made this fourm,But i guess they want pepole to be on there side or no side!!Sorry but NOT!!There are a lot of matthews shooter on here.
I started a poll to show what this fourm is leaning toward!! If you
dont want to put a manufactuer on here because of hype,as you put
it then you should take hoyt off because they,and PSE are pushed also!!
