RE: I can't help myself ( bought a Silvertip last night )
Tj Craig this is like a kids' bow to you (only 58# ) !!!!!!!!! sad part is ....... 58# is pushing my max control weight. Its 60" so that'll help a bit. With Silvertips I think you can interchange the limbs fairly easy.
Can't wait to get it ........ I bought my Dad's Mathews Q2 last weekend, took it out on Sat and I haven't shot a compound in 3 years I guess, the bow isn't tuned to me or anything, and 5 of 6 shots were in a 4" group between 20-30 yards. The shot that didn't hit in that group was my error, not the bows.
With the compound I KNOW I'll kill any deer that comes by - thats what I'm missing with my trad shooting, the I KNOW ....... instead its " I HOPE " [&o]
Anyway, my point is I wasn't excited at all to get, or shoot this Q2. I'll be like a kid at Christmas when thisSilvertip gets here !

I don't know how to overcome at this point. I'm not confident in my bow anymore, or the power it has. 58# recurve and 650-700 grain arrow ....... assuming I can shoot it well, might help.
Maybe
I dunno ........ I have to change something though, I can't stay the same after having poor result after poor result [&o]

I agree with Bob-I think Buster even agrees with Bob.Read his post,Tj.He even says he's going out hunting knowing he's not gonna kill a deer like he could with a compound.Sounds like he's not confident in his abilities yet with a trad bow.That doesn't make it wrong.JMO

Absolutely agree Bob.
Especially if you're going to hunt with it, you do really need to overcome the
lack of confidence Buster. But that'll come the more you shoot. I had that problem last year, so I took the compound with me. I can keep a nice 3-4" group out to 15 yards now,but I'm aiming for that group at 25 yards.I plan on using the longbow this season for sure. The more I shoot it, the more I hit where I'm aiming, and so the more confident I feel in my shooting.
BTW, that bow is BEAUTIFUL!! And contrary to popular-belief, you can't own too many bows!
