New Bow

#1 Post by memo » Sat Feb 17, 2007 1:14 pm

Just thought I’d share with you guys my new bow. It is an ‘Arctic Fox’ by Fox Archery 53# @28. It is a two piece sleeve takedown with a locator grip, and is deflex/reflex when unstrung. The riser is Cocolobo and the limbs are bamboo with a veneer of Juniper on the front of the limbs.

How does it shoot? In a word - sensational. It spits the arrows noticeably quicker than my osage longbow. I also find the locator grip easier to shoot than the traditional straight grip, I’m more consistent with it.

I bought the bow from Crowcreek, and recommend him to anyone else looking to buy one of his bows.

Hope you like it.

I was wishing I had the funds to buy this bow when it was up for sale a while back. I looks fantastic and it was a very reasonable price, I thought.

I'm glad it has gone to someone who can appreciate it. :wink:

Very nice mate!! :wink:

There is no use focusing on aiming if you don't execute the shot well enough to hit what your are aiming at.

Nice little bow Memo. It's good to see a straight limb bow for a change. :D

It would be deflex/reflex untrung. :wink:

Happy shooting.
