First-light Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Nice bow, the kid I mentor has one of those. Real nice bow, quite and fast. Enjoy it! (I use the word kid but this is not a kids bow by any means) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growalot Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 Thanks Burt...wow she is so much more quiet that my 15yr old Hoyt...I have to wonder how I ever killed deer with it...though I did learn to shoot rather low on them ...Now I'm going to have to re tool that mind set....hoping the shoulder will let me try her out late spring turkey Good luck to you and your mentor this season ...Have Fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First-light Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I shot the bow, it's a real high quality bow. Honestly when I picked it up for the first time it felt wonderful in my hands and I knew it would shoot even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Welcome to the busted-up archer's club I can draw now but wrist injuries are haunting. Good luck! What's your bows ata & #? Just thinking if your 60 or under it would be easier on the shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growalot Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 Well Fantail I've always shot 50-51#'s and the Hoyt was a 65% let off....I took a part time job to buy the new bow...ordered it and 4 days later ...Dislocated my shoulder while working...Dr. says 6wks....but I'm very nervous about this injury....I had to draw her back at the shop when I picked it up and my stomach was doing flips ...but they had backed her down to #40 at 80% let off and I drew her back fine and let her down with out pulling the shoulder out...though it will be a few days of TLC now....I plan after my 6wks are up to shoot 1 arrow 2x's a week and just keep building until I can have her set to #45...by summers end I hope to be back at #50 I have three sizes of rubber bands to work on as a rehab...just need to learn to back off on a few things...So much work to do...hate the cold and snow but it's a God send right now My own fault...53 yr old woman should not load and unload.... then carry down a long flight of steps 400 #'s of 50 # brine blocks all in one day...one at a time...Go figure : :-[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
