looking for the ulimate 3-d bow
 

if you could get the hottest bow for 3-d what would it be right now? I leaning towards the 03 ultratec with xt 2000 limbs but i'am waiting till all the 03 models have been released till I buy. so what is your dream 3-d bow also rest, sights, stab, release? I think a mze rest extreme sniper sights and a stealth stab with scott mongoose release. I hope you guys can give me some help because the rest of the board doesn't. Thanks Wannabe redneck

&quot;Could you guys be quiet, my dad's trying to shoot.&quot;<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: looking for the ulimate 3-d bow
 

ok I shoot a Bowtech but that covers both hunting and 3d.


Now my dream 3d bow would have to be the Merlin Max 2000.

Wannabe...The 03 Hoyts have been out since October. The 03 Ultratec XT2000 with the Cam&1/2 is a sweet shooting bow. Great for 3D and for hunting.

sorry I should have been clearer I know the 03 ultratec have been out what I mean is i'am waiting till all companies have release there 03 models ie mathews. sorry about that confusion.

BowTech_Shooter here. Make sure to take a look at the BowTech Pro 40 Dually as Phil said. It will be plenty forgiving and have more than enough speed to be a great 3-D rig.

Depending on how well I shoot my 2002 BK2 I just might jump into a Pro 40 Dually myself.

G'day Ausie-guy, Bite your toungue mate...LOL...

RE: looking for the ulimate 3-d bow
 

My dually is on its way and i am so excited to shoot it. i heard it is a great finger shooters bow. i have heard alot on the dually and how smooth it is.

i iwll let you guys know when i get it.

Hey Adam, I talked to Greg J. the other day and he said you had a Pro 40 Wheely on order... Is it a Pro 40 Wheely or a Dually?

BTW, Greg's a great guy to shoot for. He treats his shooters (and customers) right, as I'm sure you'll find out for yourself...

Take a look at the CSS Challenger. I know that it is not a big name, but it is the most forgiving bow I have shot. Mine is 42&quot; axle to axle with 6 1/2 inches of brace height. It shoots 295 fps IBO. If you do not want a bow that long, you can get it shorter. Not only is the bow forgiving but it hits hard. It does not lose its energy down-range like other bows. I shot one for 3 years. I just bought a new bow and it was another Challenger. As for a sight, I recommend the Toxonics Naildriver. It is lite and durable and completly adjustable. The stablizer that I recommend is the AEP. It is the best stablizer that I have put on my bow and I have tried everything from Doinker to Easton. Good shooting.

Redneck,
I'm also waiting to see what Mathews is coming out with. I just posted a similar question on Archery Reviews in reference to 2003 Mathews. I'll be watching for replys. I will shoot it if Mathews makes it.

Good Luck,
J. Shoot


Searching

RE: looking for the ulimate 3-d bow
 

Nobody has mentioned it yet, but I have not found a more foregiving, consistant or smoother bow for 3D then my Mathews conquest2. I just set up my new bow; a 03 Ultratec cam1/2. Decisions, decisions. I use a long Montana Black Gold sight with PSE Fineline pins, Scott Itty Bitty Goose and a 24 inch Super Stick. This combo is working great for me.

PS. The Ultratec is about 10 ft faster then I thought it would be. 28 inch DL, 62lb, 310 grains = 291fts

WHuffman, saying that your bow dosen't let arrows loose energy down range like other bows defies all laws of physics! All arrows of equal weight and speed will loose energy at exactly the same rate no matter what bow you are shooting.

RE: looking for the ulimate 3-d bow
 

I would highly recommend taking a real serious look at PSE new Archery Research line. Their website is going public on Jan 8th. It is www.archeryresearch.com. A picture of it, and some preliminary info show up on pg. 45 of the new January issue of Inside Archery magazine(dealer only mag), however for those of you that are not a dealer, go to www.archerytalk.com, and click on to the &quot;manufacturers' section&quot;&gt;&gt;&gt;then just look for the &quot;archery Research&quot; thread. There is a picture of it on one of the posts. It really looks &quot;awesome&quot; !!!

I've been shooting the same CSS bow for about 5 years now and still love to shoot it. It's a 42&quot; Challenger. And yes it do'es tend to carry down range better than some of the other bow I have had. I think a lot of it has to do with the way the bow stores the energy and how well it is exzerted though the arrow. I've seen bows that were faster and not do as well at longer yardage. Every machine has it's limits but it's how well it operates. I know about the law of physics but in some cases carbons carry better down range at the same grains and speed as alumiums because they react faster and store energy better. The tubs on Indy cars were built out of alumium but could not take the force of an impact that carbon could.I not saying that CSS is any better,some of the PSE's ,Mathews and others had bows that did the same thing. As far as what was said about yardage or form why would speed be important if it don't group. A bow thats fast but shoots groups the size of the ten ring at 50 yards is usless, you never know if you missed judged or if it's just the way the bow groups at that yardage. And set up right the bowtect will shoot tight groups I'm not saying they won't, but they were saying that speed is whats important and if you can't place the arrow were it needs to go than it makes judging yardage that much more difficult. As for mine it shoots at 305 fps at 29&quot; at IBO, and groups tight at 50 yards and I love to shoot it indoors to on 300 rounds average 55-x's with it.
Check them all out but don't let speed be the the rule of the roost.
I own a bow shop and can get about any thing I want but I picked this bow up a year after getting the dealership and was shocked at how well they shot and how well I shot with it. They are the 3rd most winningest bow in 3-D and the least known in the bow hunting world.
My spelling sucks. Take look at whats out there and find whats best for you.

RE: looking for the ulimate 3-d bow
 

Good Bow for 3-D will be in the following range of Characteristics:
Axle to Axle Length= 36-40&quot; ; Brace Height: 6.5-7.5&quot; range ; Ibo Speed 300 - 315. These caracteristics will give a really good combo of speed and accuracy. Good luck.

RE: looking for the ulimate 3-d bow
 

all bows mentioned are quality bows, for me its DARTON. i shoot a DARTON RAIDER,MAVERICK,& RAMPAGE. they are quick,quiet, and forgiving. and also have an excellant 3 string CPS single cam system (minus the raider).my 2 cents
