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:
- bowtech 101 airborne 70# set at 64#s
- sure lok sight
- 2" scope with 0.019 fiber and 4x lens (might have to modify an HHA to get that diameter, best that I can find is 1.75")
- 10" fuse stabilizer
- limbdriver rest
- 350 grain arrows (too many choices)

Yes, with rules set aside. I will have to look into that bow. It has to be one hell of a pull to get that kind of speed.

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.

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.
