Default My New Bow!

Here's a picture of my new Mathews Bow! It's a shooter.

Good looking bow, rcd567. Tell us more about it. Which model, what accessories, etc. What made you decide on this particular model? Congratulations!

Going to try to post pics of my arrows. These are dipped and crested.

It's a Mathews Outback, 60# with a 29" draw. I use the Vital Bow Gear's Trapper sight. It is a three pin vertical sight. I also have the NAP Quiktune Drop-Away 2000RG rest on it, and a Doinker 4" hunter stabilizer.

This might be a better picture.

Nubo,
The arrows are Terminator Hunter 4560. Because of the paint dip and cresting, I use a 125 grain head, this brings the arrow weight up to 495 grains per arrow.

I know you'll love it; it shot plenty smooth when I test-fired one.

Venom,
It's everything I wanted and more. After zeroing the sights, in my first group of 5 arrows from 20 yards, I broke three nocks and ruined one arrow.[:@] Thats why I try not to shoot groups at 20 yards.[&:]

CBM SC,
It bottoms out at 64 pounds. I'm trying to get the back and shoulders into shape again so am shooting 55# pounds right now.
