cold shot

[brock ratcliff]

I’m guilty. I shot for a couple hours between shifts. Tow different bows. I’ve been shooting a 40lber a lot trying to work on things. So I had to bust out a hunting bow to see if I could keep things rolling with higher poundage. It worked, for today at least.

I enjoy around 45# these days. These modern bows are amazing how well they perform

 

[brock ratcliff]

I agree. But I’ve got a couple that are a little heavier that I do not plan to give up on. I had an Assenheimer back in the day that was 69@28. I shot that thing for hours at a time and it never seemed to bother me. I’d have to use both feet and arms to pull that bow now. You just don’t need all that and these lighter bows are far more enjoyable to shoot. I killed 4 deer and a turkey with that 40lb bow a few years ago. They were every bit as dead as anything I ever shot with a heavy bow.

We were young and strong back then and felt like we were doing the right thing with those heavy bows. I would like to find a Don Assenheimer bow for my collection but it's about impossible to find any custom bow from that era under 55# and I only want bows I can still shoot. My heaviest bow now is a 54# Black Widow Crown Jewel I bought new in 1987.

Not cold, but it felt good today. 22 yards, 40lb bow.

I think you’ve shot that one. Of course you probably shot a foot to the right with it.

I had a birthday party this afternoon for the grandson do I didn't get any shooting in. Going to carry a bow with me tomorrow and do some stump shooting practice on my hike.

 

[brock ratcliff]

First three today. I was hoping to hit the black spot above the arrows, so I missed. But I missed consistently so I was super happy with these arrows. If I could miss like that all the time I’d probably never be in a bad mood.

Nice to hear someone explain that the way he did!

I agree. He states it plainly: the anchor point is not so much a place but a position of the shoulder. Locked.

 

[Wiley E Coyote]

Just home from work. Im gonna have to shoot some arrows!

 

[brock ratcliff]

I shot for a couple hours this afternoon. Global warming is the greatest thing Al Gore every created!

One of my favorite bows to shoot! 59 Kodiak remake.#50, killed four deer with it and missed one

 

[brock ratcliff]

I’ve never been a huge fan of Bear bows. I did kill one a few years back with a Grizzly my mom gave to dad for Christmas 1960. but I never felt the need to buy a Bear of my own. If I ever do, that is the exact model I will get. I love the 50s style grip.

 

[Wiley E Coyote]

I like the Kodiaks from the 1960s, Like old cars I like most old bows! Just think they are cool

Pretty neat you hunted and killed a deer with your father's Grizzly!!
