Title: Love struck
Post by: rybohunter on January 21, 2008, 09:45:00 AM
Man oh man. Was at the bow shop “open house”  this weekend and shot a few bows, wasn’t really looking for anything, I was just checking things out and enjoying the festivities. I fell in love with this hybrid longbow. It’s a little odd looking, but cool. But the big catch was how absolutely dead silent & smooth drawing it was. You would swear the weight was easily 5 pounds if not more lighter. The more bows I shoot the more I figure out what I like and even though a bow draws nice and is quiet, that doesn’t mean it “fits” me. This bow however FIT. I didn’t even have to think or anything, I just looked at where I wanted to hit and the arrow went there. Regardless of what distance I was shooting at.

I foresee another trip this week to shoot a bow in the draw weight range I want, and maybe order one if I can’t find anything. I don’t like to make any impulse purchases, that’s why I decided to give it a few days and go back to shoot the rest of the lineup.

Well, you didn't mention price from the get-go, so it must be love!

You are doing the right thing in searching for one that fits and is EXACTLY what you want.  Hopefully, you will have it and hunt with it a long time.  If it is anything like bows of mine, they become old friends after while.

I hope you find your soulmate.
