3D Guys - Let's see your 08' Rigs
 
It's almost that time of year guys, and I've gotta say I'm really looking forward to getting outdoors this year to shoot some foam.

A few weeks ago, I was pretty convinced that I'd be shooting MBR class this year but now I'm honestly thinking I'll shoot open instead. I'll likely only shoot one event this year that isn't local (worlds) and honestly all of my peers are shooting open anyhow, so I think I'll enjoy this year more shooting open and being able to compete with/against all of them.

I've got most of the components together, but not the bow yet. Hopefully in the next week or so I'll have everythingand I'll be able to post some pics of the entire rig I plan to shoot outdoors this year.

So let's see them............what equipment and class are you going to shoot this year outdoors?

I dont have a recent picture....but here is the general idea. I won't be shooting this one too much longer I don't believe. I hope to have my new rig by my ASA "debut" at the end of April. I've kind of been "picked up", and I'm going through the finalizations, to become a staff shooter. I filled the application out today with the Regional sales rep and signed it. So it's almost complete. :D


Anyway, here she is.

2006 Ross 337 Competition
Alpine Whisperflight
Sure-Loc Challenger
Viper scope
Vibracheck Carbon stab
STS





Since then I've changed some things.

Sure-Loc Challenger is now a Sure-Loc Supreme
Alpine rest is now a Trophy Take Spring Steel with an .08 blade.
I've added Vibracheck Vbars

It shoots good but I have some issues with it aswell. It's too dang topheavy for me. Even with the Vbars on the back. Not to mention the back wall is non existant, thats just some pet peaves for me. On my Cardiac, for a hunting bow, I could care less about being top heavy and a weak back wall, but for a target bow it matters alot.

Interesting, I feel my 334 doesn't have the most solid wall either, but I don't plan to use mine for a serious target bow, either. Who are you signing on with, or can't you disclose that as of right now?

Boy I can never seem to take a nice picture of a bow.....I'll have to find a less cluttered area or wait for some outdoor sun.

This is my foam slayer for 2008. I compete in the IBO "MBR" class which is fixed pins out to 45+yds, or ASA "Unlimited" class which is fixed pins out to 50yds.
Bowtech Constitution "Firestorm Gray" finish 41" ATA , 8 1/4" Brace height
30" / 65#
Carbon Express CXL SS 350's w/ 225 Flex fletch shield cut vanes.
Spot-Hogg Hogg-It sight w/ .010 wrap pin set.
Limbdriver rest, trimmed launcher
3/16" Tru-Peep
18" Vibracheck "Fat free" stabilizer w/ a Limbsaver enhancer on the end.
Stealth archery weighted side rod stabilizer
MeanV anodized string suppressor
SIMS Limbsaver Quads
Loop, 2 tied in nock sets
Carter Just Cuz+ release
Pentax DCF-SP 8X43 binos



Closeup of the sweet Firestorm Gray finish



Even though the long range pin classes are the bulk of my shooting, I also have a rig I will set up for "Hunter class" style shooting. This isjust for local Team "money shoots" where they only allow 2 classes, basically an open/scope class and a hunter style that shoot to 40yds.
I generally set up something similar to this but will use my favorite 11.5" Stealth 3D stabilizer and arrows with 4" vanes.
