Jason

It pulls 50# at 28".....only a 50 inch bow. Very short. I like it quite a bit, but it is definitley not the bow for a guys who just hunts with "one bow". :biglaugh:

I remember Ron talking about his 52" Classic Hunter. He said its not a field archery bow, its not target bow and its probably not the bow you'll want to shoot all day. It IS a compact hunting bow for close quarters at hunting ranges!

A New Jersey man has died from AGS, Alpha-Gal Syndrome.  He was bitten by a tick infected with Alpha-Gal.  This causes you to become allergic to red meat.  Be careful out there.

I struggle terribly to find a consistent anchor,  so I keep changing between split and 3 under, currently i am back to 3 under and seems OK. What I really need is a good instructor to watch my form ( or lack of) and point me in the right direction anchor wise, unfortunately though this side of the pond there's not a lot of help available.

PowWow / Re: Double Bevel, Single Bevel...
Last post by smokin joe - Today at 09:25:17 AM
I have to agree that the narrow single-bevel broadheads leave a disappointing blood trail. I tried them for a while, and I have gone back to Woodsman heads for most of my hunting. That being said, the main stated advantage of the narrow single-bevel was penetration and bone-breaking ability with 650-grain or heavier arrows. For most bowhunting in the U.S., the blood trail and fast, heavy blood loss in general (including internal blood loss) are more important than the ability to break the humerus bone on the far side of whatever we are hunting, or the ability to bury the arrow into the dirt after pass through.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Your results may vary.

Late to game on this, but I believe the increased popularity for 3 under is because that is what NASP teaches.  Their reasoning is it gives better visibility and more importantly new shooters are less likely to pull the arrow off the rest compared to using split finger.  I have to agree with the logic because it worked when teaching my grandchildren.  NASP has taught 21 million children to shoot in the last 20 years. Makes sense to me why 3 under is more popular now.

I realize that this is an old post, but a great tip for starting fires in wet weather wby using the thin loose bark of a yellow birch tree. Get it from standing timber on the driest side of the tree. It is thin, burns hot even when it is damp.
