The best hunting bow you've shot

What is it?

And more importantly - what main qualities made it such a good hunting bow? :Bow

The one I shoot the most accurately with. Have no idea what qualities you are referring to but I guess for me the bow must be of a poundage I can handle without any strain and at least 62 inches in length (I am talking recurves here) due to long draw length.

Quiet, forgiving to shoot, fast, compact, handles well in the scrub, sentimental qualities, toughness........that sort of thing.

Many others too. Camping7

I really like my Samick Sage. :cry: I know it is a very economical bow and certainly not the best quality you can buy but I hunt with it a lot and have shot a few bunnies with it as well as a pig and a goat. I have far more expensive bows in my arsenal but the sage is my preference......I guess it all boils down to that is the bow I am the most comfortable with and subsequently, the most confident with.

Myself i shoot Gringa Bows ,i've been shooting them for the last seven years and taken a fair bit of game with them and a lot of people that have these bows have taken heaps of critters....and they seem to love them,they perform well and i love them but i might be a bit biased :mrgreen:

I am using Apollo's Tactical Compound bow..I came across this https://authorityarchery.com/uncategori ... pollo.html website and when I read the specs of this bow, I was convinced to buy one for myself. It's a great bow! :Bow
