Archery Talk

Buddy of mine just got new bedside decals.

 

Any one have any good compound bow recommendations? Currently have a mid 90's PSE that I'm looking to upgrade. Just need the bare bow and a stabilizer. I have $200 worth of cabelas gift cards so it's gunna have to be available there.

 

Well dropped the bow off at the shop today. I went in for arrows and to get what I needed to tie on a new dloop. The owner was awesome and walked me through everything and pointed out my bow was in need of a tune up. I got 12 Easton arrows to replace my cheapo goldtip ones I beat to hell during the learning process.

I have a $700 security deposit check coming my way from my old landlord so instead of being responsible I am looking for a pack so I can start training and getting my pack set up right for Sept 1!

 

^ haha.

Pack shopping is the best. Look at EXO packs. Truly a pack designed by hunters.

And I love my gold tips. All I have ever shot. They are so strong.

 

The gold tips did good haha. They were just the cheapo ones that I got to learn how to shoot so I lost a few in the process. My boss swears by Easton so I wanted to give them a try.

Pack shopping is hard. The cheap packs are appealing but I know my back and knees will regret it, as well as my wallet when I upgrade in a year.

The current companies in the running are Kifaru, Seek Outside, Mystery Ranch (currently winning), and Stone Glacier.

 

Just got a call from the shop. They have finished with the bow. I am going in tonight to get it set to me better and arrows cut to the correct length. I am excited to know my bow will finally be set up for me personally. Hopefully it shows in my groups .

 

I have a Kifaru. Timberline2 on a duplex frame. I kinda regretted it went I opened the box. It is very much like the Gregory I replaced. Just more external straps. I have fucking straps every where. And and dead meat has to go on the inside. Id rather do the meat shelf other companies have adopted.

My day pack is a mystery ranch. It is small but oh do effective. I wish I had more of theirs. Check out EXO. Trust me.

 

Checked out EXO a bit. Way to make this harder. I was just about to order a MR Longbow last night.

 

I am saving this post. Never seen anyone not nut hug kifaru that owns their pack . Exo will be my next one

 

^truth. Kifaru has some very loyal customers...almost as bad as the Tacoma group .

I am really debating getting a frame and a loader panel right now just so I can start training and then fully decide on a pack come August. Just need to decide on which frame I want.

 

Haha.

I couldn't get rid of my Kifaru sleeping fast enough.

My pack is okay. Too expensive for what it is tho.

 

Stone Glacier. I'm in the market for a pack myself and its currently between the Sky 5100 and the Sky Archer 6200

Cottontail season until deer season starts.













They ended up going in a Spanish Chili Stew

 

Bad ass!

I'm on my phone so I can't tell what state you're in. Where was that bunny hunt?

 

So Cal

 

Thanks.

Very good pics. Can you believe archery deer is almost here?
I'm NorCal. I'll prob hit B2 with my AO tag.

 

Yeah, this will be my first year pursuing deer. Should be interesting haha.

 

Finally dusted off my Hoyt Tubohawk new string, tuned up and went out this weekend target shooting. First time in 5 years! Needless to say fell in love with it all over again

 

My buddy (user name: 5lug4banger) practicing earlier this evening. 70 meters for an upcoming tournament

 

I was on point today! Made some slight adjustments to my sight and was getting small tight groups at 40 yards. I ended up shooting through my target and lost an arrow.

Recommendations for a target that won't break the bank?

 

For field tip only, the bags are awesome. Cheaper too.
