Archery

tcBob... imagine a harpoon gun/harpoon on a much more primitive level. Many bows can be set up to have a reel/line mounted to the riser (handle). The line is connected to a fiberglass arrow with a barbed arrowhead (so it won't pull out). You see the fish up shallow... and fire the harpoon/arrow... and reel 'em in. Spring carp seasons are big-time events in many areas. Other popular targets are buffalo and gar... some of which get very big and very mean.

Hope that helps.

 

Well, here you go. My bow and my other toy...
So, what do you think?

 

thats a sweet ass setup man!!! how fast does that hoyt shoot?? also....what kind of release is that you got??

 

It's a 03/04? MT Sport w/ ZR200 limbs. IBO is 295 fps I think. My releases are...

Tru-Fire Magnum. My 1st release and still my favorite.

I like this Fletchunter Shorty as well, a great release just not my favorite.


Also, if you haven't used/or heard of a No-Peep before, you should really check this out. I got mine from http://www.timberline-archery.com/. It truly is awesome!

 

those are both good releases. i use a fletcher .44 caliper, and i love that release. thats a pretty quick hoyt you got there. my pse....im only shooting around 237 to 243 fps, depending on which arrows im using, but its still fast enuff to get the job done.

 

Definitely, your bow is plenty fast enough. Well, I wasn't looking for such a powerful rig at the time but, the owner of the shop I goto was selling his, and I don't come across too many used lefty bows, so I jumped on it. But that's still nothing compared to Hoyt's new bows, the "Katera's" IBO is 330 fps. I guess thats for when you want to tag 2 deer standing next to each other.

 

....definitely........from one right to the other!!!

 

Reviving an oOolLDd thread. I’m in the beginning stages of getting into compound bow hunting. I’m a righty but left eye dominant. I shoot lefty with a rifle and are far more accurate shooting off my left shoulder. Looking at a Hoyt RX-3 Turbo. Should I buy a left handed bow and practice till perfect or cover my left eye while shooting?
