Here she is...09 admiral
Well I finally saved up enough to get a new bow.
09 Admiral 63# 27" Draw The only issue I am currently having is that my sight is bottomed-out and I don't have much room to adjust if I decide to pursue further distances. Any solutions to solve this problem?    |
RE: Here she is...09 admiral
Congrats on the new Bow!!

Congrats!
One suggestion- get rid of the rubber tube peep sight- you have probably the best stock harness on the market- there is really no need for that peep tube- it just slows ya down, makes more noise, and they can & do fail and will hit you smack dab in your eye. Once these octane strings settle-which is not many shots, they are rock solid- My peep hardly ever moved on my Admiral. Not enough for me to bother putting a 1/4 twist in the string. |

Once you get a Tru-Peep or G5 Meta peep set in you will never go back to a peep that has a rubber tube attached. Also a couple of things you might think about are, getting a loop on it. I shoot off the string but bows as short as the Admiral I'm sure wouldbenefit from a loop. An Octane Hostage Pro, or a Limb Driver upgrade would also be a good improvement. It's only money!;) Enjoy the Admiral I say you just bought the Bow of the Year:D Dan |

RE: Here she is...09 admiral
She's a beauty! Almost enough to make me consider selling my Drenalin and getting a Bowtech!:D Personally, I'm holding out and waiting for Bowtech to come out with a bow named after an enlisted Navy rank. I really don't want a Commander, a Captain or an Admiral in my house. When they come out with "The Chief", I'll buy it![8D]
Of course, if they did name a bow "The Chief", it would have to be heavy, slow, harsh and make a lot of noise on release.:D:D |

Understand about doing things slow. Nothing is cheap anymore. The good thing about top notch accessories is that they can be passed on to new Bows down the road. I just put my Limb Driver, and HHA Optimizer ontheir3rd bow. I paid more for the sight than I did my first new compound.;) Dan |

I think i have been using the same rest and stabilizer for about 7 or 8 years. Back when I purchased them they were decent components. Nowadays they are antiques |

RE: Here she is...09 admiral
Did you shoot other bows before you decided on the Admiral?
|
RE: Here she is...09 admiral
Hey that bow looks familiar.....I think if seen it before. :D
Glad to see you obeyed man law and got the pics posted. It was nice seeing you again Matt. I have a thread started about the GTG so go sign up. You were like all smiles last week at the shop when getting that baby setup. How's she shootin? |
RE: Here she is...09 admiral

RE: Here she is...09 admiral
Yes, all you have to do is have the peep moved up the string alittle and that will cure the issue with the sight bottomed out.
I shot this bow at Bristol on race weekend when bowtech had a trailor at the race. Very nice bow, I also shot the captain and it was nice to in a longer ata. Will stick with the drenalin though, but it was great to shoot another brand. |
RE: Here she is...09 admiral
Gee, I wonder where you bought that bow ????:D:D
I have the same issue, sight bottoms out. Mostly this is due to your specific anchor point. Hard for me to change it, so I just have to be careful on the sights I buy for them to have enough adjustment.

RE: Here she is...09 admiral
ORIGINAL: Geronimo Did you shoot other bows before you decided on the Admiral? I did shoot all the new bows this year, AM32, Reezen, Monster, Iceman. I like a smoothdraw with no hand vibration and that's where I decided to put the money. There are alot of good bows out this year but this one IMO was my favorite. |
