ultimate 3d rig
I was shooting my hunting bow (70# airborne101) and my target bow (60# airborne101) today and was a bit disappointed with my grouping difference at distance. The 25 knot wind was partially to blaim. Anyhow, this brings up a good question, I really do not think that the best 3D rig is the most expensive. Here would be my rig:
|
Either the BT Constitution.....or one of the Hoyt or Mathews longer ATA bows.
It wouldn't be anything under 7-1/2" BH or under 40" ATA. |
I use a Mathews Prestige for my 3D rig and I've been 100% pleased with it.

If i was shooting 3d for fun and had no speed regulations, i would say i HCA Iron Mace. with thier Speed pros. I mean, 400 FPS with little KE is good for something.
thos bows shoot real sweet. |
I concur, I shoot my 101 at 63 lbs with a 331 grain arrow for my 3d setup. I love it.

There isn't an organization that will allow speed pros to be shot that I am aware of.They are below the 5gr rule for IBO and will put you above the 280 rule for ASA.
So they are pretty much useless for 3-d. The Pros winning in the ASA and IBO are not using "speed" bows.They are using long a-a bows with forgiving riser designs and decent brace heights. Although,Tom Crowe a senior pro did just pull out a win with a Monster. |
i just us my hunting rig

The difference between the guys using 3D specific rigs and guys using hunting setups (for competitive 3D) is typically (in my expericence) about 5 spots in the final scoring.
Can you shoot 3D and have a great time....and be "competitive"? Sure. Are you gonna be a perennial contender with a hunting rig? I don't think so. Not around here, anyways. Competitive 3D and hunting are 2 different animals. Do I know some guys who shoot their hunting rigs and win? Yep. Few and far between, though. |

Agreed It is just a matter of what you want to achieve and what you are doing it for. BUT,a "target" bow is not going to make you a winner.You must posses that ability first.Although,a target bow will give you a few points that might mean the difference in 5th and 1rst. |
