Show Off Your Bow

[Bowhunter57]

What are you hunting with this fall?

I purchased this bow late last fall and never got a chance to kill anything with it. This year I'm hoping to get some blood on it for the first time.
It's an Elite Ritual 30 with a 29" DL at 57#.
* Trophy Ridge React - single pin sight.
* Trophy Ridge - 6 Arrow Quiver.
* QAD Arrow Rest.
* Tru-Ball Scout - wrist release.
* Gold Tip Hunter XT 300, 27" long with 100 gr. brass insert, 150 gr. Grizzly left single bevel broadhead, 3" left helical feathers, 520 TAW and 20.5% FOC. I have one Magnus Buzzcut and one Magnus Black Hornet, riding in my quiver, for coyotes.

2010 Diamond Rock 2.0, bought used in 2011. Think it retailed for $400 at the time. 70lbs. Copper John Dead Nutz single pin sight. QAD fall away rest. Bowtech Octane stabilizer. Shoots tight groups out to 60. Love it. I keep up on the strings and take good care of it. I’ll upgrade next year maybe. Maybe not.

How do you like those Triad Shafts?

How do you like those Triad Shafts?

Love them so far. Easy to tune, stiff, straight, with the weight up front they seem to zip through stuff. I think i have them at ~520grains with a head on.

Just pulled the trigger on this exact set up minus the Mathew’s stabilizer. It’s amazing how far they have come since my old switchback.

Enjoy!! Yep, I have only had 3 bows since I started hunting, always fun to handle and shoot that new hot rod!

Or strings

Not much to go awry with two sticks and one string. You fellers might be overthinking all of this

I have about $50 in the bamboo, osage, horn, finish, and leather. About $3 in the custom flemmish twist D97 string and serving. Tapered Douglas Fir shafts with Zwickey Deltas on the bidness end. I’m all about low maintenance and not complicated. Still working good after two seasons, although I did have to to the trouble of raising the brace height a tiny bit a few weeks ago.

I said plural. That sir is a string

 

[Jamie]

I said plural. That sir is a string

that is why I quoted you and specified "one" string.

@Jamie
That's kinda like a longbow design, but would that be considered a "self bow"?
Good looking bow!
