Title: An Old Friend Back From The Bowyer
Post by: JParanee on March 05, 2011, 06:38:00 PM

please post images no wider than 640

I have resized images

Getting back into shooting my traditional bows and I had a favorite 560 that I had gotten from Mike Fedora many years ago,

The Bow was 67# and I had another that pulled close so I asked Mike to lighten this one and I just got it back. It now pulls about 55 # at my draw and I am very happy

here it is and I will be using this and a Hoyt Buffalo as my hunting bows this year

That definitely looks like a hunting bow with the camo paint. It looks like it would be a great bow for turkey hunting.

I didn't realize that much weight could be reduced from a bow. Everyone has always said 3-5 lbs is about the most.

I really like the Tiger Maple/Black Locust bow, I think that would be my "go to" bow in that stable!
