RE: NEWBIE question; What equipment are you using?
 

LD,

I have two recurves at present.
My first was a Dakota Recurve 62" long 54# @29" but pull 57# @30"
It shoots extremely accurate for me. It has a black/yellow Micarta riser with Bocote limbs.
My second bow is a 68" Sley recurve
60# @30" It has a Cocobolo/Bocote riser and bamboo limbs.
It's a really beautiful bow, to me.
Got a Trails End on order; due in October. Medicine Point with Bocote riser and Cocobolo accent with pierce points.
I use a Black Widow yellow shooting glove and a Widow three-under tab.
Only been shooting traditional 7 months so won't be hunting until this fall and haven't decided on a quiver or broadheads. Use weighted ACC arrows. Not traditional but really accurate.
Sorry for the ramble.


Sag.

RE: NEWBIE question; What equipment are you using?
 

The only thing I shoot is Howard Hill Longbows and 160gr HH broadheads. There are other longbows and broadheads I like just as well but none of them help me shoot any better so I just stick with what works for me. I also like to collect HH Longbows and collectables.

RE: NEWBIE question; What equipment are you using?
 

Mike-gotta say nice pics and NICE shooting!Now if I could just shoot groups like that every time from twenty yds. I'd feel like I'd finally made it&gt; Cam <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: NEWBIE question; What equipment are you using?
 

Thanks Cam. That group was from 15 yards (paces). I'm not that consistent or good, so my groups are usually a lot wider.<img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle> But, since I shot it I figured I'd better get a pic so I could remember it.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: NEWBIE question; What equipment are you using?
 

I shoot a Fox reverse handle bow, Bocote/Cocobolo riser and Canarywood limbs. I put a sealskin rest and strikeplate on it.

I just received a new order of 59-60# tapered cedar arrows from RRA, yellow crown, orange cresting with black and silver trim, two orange and one barred yellow feathers, with 6 125 gr field points and 6 125 gr Magnus II heads. They are pretty and shoot great!!!

I don't have a quiver to use with this bow as of yet. I've been looking at a CatQuiver I and GN removable, but haven't settled on anything.

I shoot with a Damascus glove.

Bill

Mike-none the less,it is a thing of pure beauty to an archer,would like to use it as background on the puter-but I am afraid the wife would kill me-I gotta be good cause I'm lookin at another bow! CAM <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: NEWBIE question; What equipment are you using?
 

I got one question.

With all of the bowyers and great bows that are available, how do you narrow it down to even the next 5 or 6 bows you are going to buy? Some of you fellas must have real understanding wives. If I had a dozen or so bows, it would be mighty cold at my house even in the dog days of August!
