Title: MOAB making decisions tougher!
Post by: Dave Pagel on October 07, 2009, 04:37:00 PM
The new MOAB arrive Monday and it is making my choice of bows to carry this year tough!  I didn't even consider carrying it because of it's arrival so close to season, that was before I had it tuned in in fifteen minutes.  Now I am considering the Pronghorn until I fill a tag or two, then the MOAB.  LH, 60 inch, 55# @ 28

"Oh, I'm just going to stick with one bow from now on"  Spoken by Dave Pagel, Kalamazoo 2007

I believe that was only about 8 bows ago!

You ARE slowing down, but my son is getting older and I am glad I know Dave Pagel "Bowaholic"

You need to check out my TallTines, I have a lefty you can shoot...

Being that having to make such a tough decision would not be wise in the midst of deer season, I would suggest you send that pesky MOAB to me and hunt with your other bow.

You see, I shoot a 57# MOAB, and thus would not need to make any real adjustments. If you were to start shooting your MOAB, you would be ruined afterwards, and never want to shoot your other bows. I have a real bad MOAB addiction, and your bow would be perfect to feed it. This way, we would be helping each other as only trad shooters can.


Enjoy that bow, its a beauty.

Well, another solution would be for him to send me his pronghorn.  Then he could just settle in with the MOAB.  :bigsmyl:    Seriously, that's a beautiful looking bow.

My guess is the riser has zebrawood, cocobolo and the limbs look like they are a dark juniper
nice looking bow
