RE: Disadvantages of parallel limb technology?

I have to agree with this. Long risers with short parallel limbs are really damn ugly. I like my Extreme VFT but I don' t think it is pretty. I like it for its' performance. Did I say this bow...

RE: Disadvantages of parallel limb technology?

[quote]The VFT bows' limbs do not move forward much, so the arrow is propelled more by string movement than by limb movement. It would seem logical that a limb would be able to move forward with...

RE: Trophy Ridge Matrix shooters question

Both eyes open.

When the Sun is behind you, you cannot see the dots. You see the post so you have your top pin, but the bottom pins are not distinguishable. I use the nitro sticks during the...

For me it is being able to stalk very quietly and smell deer. Ants in the pants does not adequately describe me trying to post. I don' t think I can sit still for more than 5 minutes, unless I fall...

RE: What' s the closest you ever got to a deer while hunting?

I stillhunt/stalk for deer in New England. I can usually stalk to within 20 yards of deer. A good percentage of the time it is in the 10-15 yard range. On one occasion I came out of dense laurel,...

I have never used one and would like to know how effective they are. I cannot imagine that they can achieve 12fps.

I am in the same category as Straightarrow. If the draw cycle peaks early I cannot pull the bow back. I can exert the most strength in the mid to later part of the cycle. Shoulder problems here as...

RE: WHo hunts with a bow, who hunt with a gun, and who hunts with both at one point?

Bow, shotgun and pistol. Muzzleloader this year as well. Will also hunt with a bow and gun at the same time due to the types of tags I have.

RE: Fastest bow at 50 pounds - Bowtech?

Wow!

So I would set up the bow with a whisker biscuit and peep and lose a bit of speed but should still be at 250+ fps. This is good news Shooter. I really appreciate the time you took to do...

RE: Fastest bow at 50 pounds - Bowtech?

I wasn' t tring to dismiss your guidance here. It is just that I don' t feel much discomfort when drawing 45-50lbs but I feel the strain while holding the bow at full draw. I' m sure...

RE: 2004 BOWTECH SPECS

That would be great! I am at 28.5" draw and 50# weight. I think I might wind up going downto a 28" draw. I use a peep, string loop and whisker biscuit. But we can adjust for these things.

RE: Fastest bow at 50 pounds

RE: 2004 BOWTECH SPECS

So the Mightly Mite is 316fps at 30" draw while the Tech 29 is 314fps at 29" draw. At 29" the MM is 307. The MM looks more forgiving due to the A2A and brace height but I need to get every bit...

RE: 2004 BOWTECH SPECS

So what happened to the Tech-29? This was the bow I planned on getting after the current bow season. Seems to be the fastest short axle bow made.
