Archery Talk

Ugh. I drew one back in my house once, after it exploded I was left holding just the riser. Limbs, cams, bushings,everything went flying. Coulda put an eye out.

 

Consider yourself lucky man! Glad you made it out without and bodily harm.

 

Yes just accross my left knuckles.
I was real lucky...

This was also im my house.
Was just doing a check before walking in the woods. Not even a full draw just working the wheels.

I was real afraid of the dry fire but the Hoyt pro said those limbs were like iron. Don't think twice about it.

 

a friend of mine had one of his bow strings snap inside the bow case. It had been a number of years since he shot it but luckily he didnt draw it back.

 

My Mathews FeatherMax blew a string in 2008 while it was stored in a Plano bow case. Busted the end of the case and the limb and idler were sticking out.

 

Yaa, mostly dollar bills!................................ Kinda like grenading a race motor!

 

I was lucky there. It was a long time ago and I think it was a PSE Pulsar or something. But it scared the hell out of me!

 

This was my first bow, back in the day. Damn that's ugly!

 

Here’s one for you, you’re sitting in your stand, It’s 5:30 in the morning and it’s pitch black. While preparing your bow for a battle. You slip while putting your arrow nok on the string and the arrow come sliding back and the Brodhead finds the cable.
KAABOOM!

Not silent anymore!

and day ruined ( and did I mention it was right during the rut, this happened to a friend of mine )

 

I had an old high country like that

 

ouch...

 

250 for the bow
8 grand for the race motor

 

When its dark and I nock an arrow, I always say to myself "don't cut the string, don't cut the string". I have a huge fear of this happening some day. Bet it woke him up! Accidental double quote.

 

I had a Pearson Renegade with a home made overdraw shooting short 1916 aluminum arrows at 70lbs. Basically dry firing it every time,blew up in my face. Young and stupid.Then I got a High Country Sniper. Lesson learned!!!!

 

Anybody used to roll with the Bear Whitetail II??? Oh yeah!!!

 

That must of hurt a little.
Chuck, I need to to a Cabelas run in the next couple of weeks. Want to meet up there sometime ?

 

First bow was a Bear Kodiak Hunter recurve. Sold it in 1982 for $50 to buy a PSE something or other wood riser compound. Moved up to a PSE Jet-Flite in '87. Shot that until I bought my Hoyt Raptor Excel in '96. Bow was a bitch to tune. But it sent a 2315 arrow with a 125 grain Thunderhead down range at 245fps. Moved on to a Mathews FeatherMax in 2000. Still have it and still take it out. Picked up a 2005 Mathews LX a few years later. Love that bow. Still my favorite bow to shoot, hands down. After it split a limb in '13 it just hasn't been the same. No one seems to be able to get it back in tune. So in April of this year I picked up a Hoyt HyperForce. Initially I really really liked it. Having some tuning issues and constant string stretch.

 

Sure, I was actually planning on picking up a new safety harness this weekend. I’ll PM you later in the week..

 

Ok, definitely NOT a comparison! And its was closer to $53 grand for the motor. $11 grand in damage!

 

I have 2 for sale right now. Both Gorilla's ones a G30 and ones a G-tac!


anybody interested???????
