Re: X7 Arrows with Screw-In points

I also use X7 Eclipse shafts in size 2212 for my 42# and 37# recurves. Since the game I hunt in the USA is smaller than Aussie game, I bowhunt whitetail deer, javelina and small feral hogs with my 2212s. BTW, nice looking arrows. I use 3, 5" parabolic shaped feathers with white colored Easton S...

Re: Widowmaker Broadheads

Well mate, not that I use screw in broadheads, but regardless of how good they were I wouldn't buy them because of the ridiculous name alone. The name reflects badly on Bowhunters IMO. :roll: :x Jeff I don't think the name is detrimentalal to bowhunters. When I took up bowhunting in 1964, Ben Pears...

Re: My new Thunderchild....

Great looking bow. :biggrin: I'm curious though. Being the bow is 58" and with your 30" draw length, I wonder if you'll experience any issues with "finger pinch". The reason I'm asking, I have a 30" draw length as well.

Yes. Short 58" bows and 30" draw lengths usually don't mesh very well together because of the finger pinch issue.

Evening All. A Damon Howatt 58" Mamba recurve would be a good choice for a woman with a 26" draw length. Damon Howatts are fast production made bows with a very good reputation. As a mamba owner I am of the opinion that they are a nice bow. However, in my opinion they are a bow that you s...

Re: kodiak magnum

I'm pretty sure Bear Archery will make you a new bow. I have a feeling there was a few bows laying next to each other at the factory and somehow, someone handling the bows picked up the wrong one thinking it was 55# @ 28" and your bow was mis-marked.

Brumbles, Even though both of my bows shoot the same 2212 aluminum arrow weighing 421 grains, they do not have the same brace heights. The brace height for my 42# recurve is 8", but the 37# recurve has a brace height of 8 3/8". I don't do any bare shaft tuning anymore. I now use Stu Miller...

Re: Recurve bows: Shooting off the shelf vs plunger and rest

Since I'm strictly a bowhunter, speed isn't a factor for me since all of my broadside arrow lung shots, which I wait for, have been between 12-17 yards. I never take a shot over 20 yards since I shoot low poundage recurves for bowhunting. The sole and main factor for me is how "quiet" both...

Re: My girl Buffy "AKA" Hoyt Buffalo

Sweet looking bow. :D I'd like to have one, but it's poundage is always measured at 28" when one orders one and I like to order my poundage set at 30" since I've got a 30" draw length. I hate stack in a production made bow past 28".

B50 is stretchy. Lots of creep in it. B55 is a lot less stretchy. Maybe you should make a bowstring from this material.
