bow owners thread

Biggest mistake was trying a no peep sight. It mounted just above the arrow rest. It was optic and had a dot that you aligned in a circle. Very sensitive to adjust. Also hard to keep in line when looking at the pins.

What brand no peep sight was it?

i have seen those online no peeps but i havent tried one yet but they looked easy.

Had a Hoyt, need to get another

solved that problem, new owner of a Hoyt SuperHawk "Bone Collector"

Now to figure out what rest and sight I want to throw on it.

you should get one of those whisker biscuits that only have three parts to them.

Hi it was a timberline

Product Evaluation - No Peep from Timberline Archery

It may work for some people. I had trouble getting my eyes to focus on the no-peep, pins and target at the same time. I wear strong glasses and am over 40 so it did not work for me. I may try to see if I still have it and "pay it forward"

Still have 3 or 4 XI bows from my 12 years as support technician for Escalade.
Haven't been able to hunt since I moved to the Indy area in 2004.
Escalade has since bought Bear Archery.

Last year I finally got my first buck with a bow I have had a parker compound bow that I got when I was 16. This year I am going to use my recurve bow but I have been practicing all summer and cant hit much outside of 30 yards with it, and most of our stands are for shotgun season. So the prospect of even getting a good shot is low.

Had a PSE that was all decked out. Shot it for a while. It reminded me of shooting a 22 rifle. Traded it off for a kerosene heater.
Bought a Bear Stag Hunter 55# recurve and never looked back. I built my own laminated longbows and hand carved self bows for years. My last one was a 62" 4 layer maple and glass longbow with about 62# draw that threw 625 grain ash shafts with some pretty good speed. Still have all my reference material, just not the tools for building.
Always used cut on contact heads like Bear Razorheads or Ribteks. I saw a demo once on the penetration abilities of different heads and the cut on contact type only took about 40% of the force to do the job.
I still have my Pearson all solid glass bows that my uncle gave me. One is 20# and the other is 50#.
Man, I may have to start shooting again. Didn't realize how much I miss it.
I need to read up on IN game law. I haven't been in the woods since we moved from MO.
