just got my new gamemaster

#1 Post by sambar » Tue Dec 20, 2011 3:29 pm

hi there finally my new gamemaster arrived and like a kid at xmass i was more excited than ever. i have set it all up as my sambar bow for wet weather, its a around 55#at my draw and ive put a tightspot quiver on it and some black limb vinals to make it look stealth. along with all the silencing goodies as well, im shooting eastern powerflights 400 with 150gr up front, of a flipper rest with vanes and it is going great so far. im still trying to fine tune it but it will come with alittle playing around. let me know what you think heres a pic.

It's really well balanced with the tightspot quiver and quite as a mouse.

The people I have seen shooting Gamemasters are all very happy with them. I have a Dorado which is similar and made by Hoyt but doesn't have the loop behind the handle. You have the black riser and maple limbs and personally I really like that. Have to say the handle sems to suit my grip better than any other recurve I've shot. It's relatively slender which shouldn't matter if you are principally holding with the index finger and thumb and some contact in the V, but somehow it feels good.

I use to have a dorado and loved it too. I fitted a custom Hoyt 180 grip too and its perfect in the hand. I'm really looking forward to getting out and using it.

Next person that posts a picture of a gamemaster or a dorado better have a really good excuse to give to SWMBO because its obviously a sign that i need to get one. that looks like a really nice set up,
A smile is priceless, yet can make so much difference

Yep have one as well but I swapped out the stock limbs for a set of Carbon Foam Hoyt Vector ILF limbs. I pressed out the ILF fittings from the Vectors and put the stock bushes out of the Gamemaster limbs in. Shoot mine off a NAP Centre Rest flipper. Awesome combo.

They are a fine bit of gear and good shooters as well.

Nice mate. God I love the look of these bows.

The black ones especially.
Cheers
