Heavy or Lite

RE: Heavy or Lite
Jag mag, great question, Infact i have never seen anyone ask this before. I prefer a bow that weighs under 4lb' s, infact I wont buy and have never owned a bow that weighs over 4lb' s. I quess the main reason is because i always hold my bow while hunting, i never put it down and the other reason was when i was younger we use to shoot 3-D courses 3 or 4 times in the same morning.

RE: Heavy or Lite
I never really weighed one. I think my Darton from the factory is 3+. With my stabilizer etc it' s probably over 4. It doesn' t matter as long as it doesn' t weigh 10 pounds or something. The only weights I really ever worried about are the deer and my climber.

RE: Heavy or Lite
I love less weight for carring around, but the truth is I shoot much better with a heavier outfit. My hunting bows weigh around 7lbs all decked out with quiver, arrows, sight, rest ect. Since my bow hangs most of the time it' s not a problem, and like I said I shoot the heavy bows much better.
