RE: Bowtech Question, Need fast advice
 

i forgot you are fred bear and you need to hone shooting skills quite often, dont start trying to knock me and my bowhunting style, i sight it in and get it tuned and shoot one more day and then hunt with it, i have done the shooting every week and all you do is start moving sights, my style, sorry it isnt like yours

RE: Bowtech Question, Need fast advice
 

Thanks Ausie-guy i have heard alot of people who say the blackknight is hard to keep tuned is that true

RE: Bowtech Question, Need fast advice
 

yep different strokes for different folks[:o]

RE: Bowtech Question, Need fast advice
 

Thats because you are not practicing enough. having to move your sights from week to week or session to session is a common sign of an un-practiced archer who has not developed a solid repeatable anchor and form.

That is why we shoot all the time - so we do not have to move sights.

If you will not practice the black night is not a bow for you - it would be a terrible choice of bows IMO for your "style".

Be an archer first........then a bowhunter - they are unseperatible IMO.

If you do not practice I can almost 100% say you are overbowed at 75 lbs.

Shoot a 60 lber.

Cross bow is not a bad suggestion for your "style" either.;)

no crossbow for me i have a handicapped frien who has one, dont like it

Didn't realize you were lefty trophyhuntr - that does make it hard to test them out. For what it's worth, I wanted a bow primarily for hunting that was forgiving but maintained enough speed to take the guesswork out of ranging the target. I found that in the Patriot single cam. It's got good speed, draws nicely, and allows me to still hit the target after the occasional pull or torque.

The Liberty was great, but left out some of the speed I wanted. I sacrificed some smoothness to gain this speed. The dual cam bows drew noticably harder, as one would expect, and I didn't like the idea of adding cam tuning to the equation - not to mention the low brace height on the BKII made me nervous.

You may want to check out the Pat S/C if hunting is going to be your bow's primary duty. To me, it seemed to combine many aspects of the others in the lineup.

thanks fritz i will, they have alot of right handed bows but no selection of left handed will talk to them about your advise and will ask about it

RE: Bowtech Question, Need fast advice
 

If you don't have any plans on practicing then i don't think any compound bow is for you--I'm sure we won't be hearing any questions from you next year about tracking deer on a bad hit or anything like that huh?[:@][X(]

jsasker

you wont dont worry, didn't say i didnt practice, i shoot enough to where i am comfortorable with my bow and that is it, killed plenty of deer, have lost a few absolutely, who hasnt

RE: Bowtech Question, Need fast advice
 

I think try to find a very forgiving bow--higher brace height,longer axle to axle--that would be your best bet.jmho.
