Picked up a new bow at Denton Hill this weekend! I held and shot alot of bows but this was the one I just fell in love with. And with my hurt shoulder some bows just hurt to shoot w/ the twange I get but this bow shot like dream for me...feeling wise still can't hit the broadside of a barn :p

The bow is 60" 45# @ 28. I'm glad I picked it up!
I was also curious as to a rough guide in setting this bow up. My old bear tigercat was setup w/ the help of a buddy of mine but I'd like to be able to tinker a bit more on my own so I dont need to bother him so much b/c of our scheduals. I will order a few tools in order for me to play around b/c I have none but was curious what I should start out with w/ brace height nok point etc etc? Any helpfull info would be great I'm still new to this stuff!
Sweet !
Pretty bow!
... but please tell me you aren't using it as a stake for that tomato plant. :smileystooges:

I have a 58" Ancient Spirits Sequoia that is 49"@28" and it likes 7 1/4" brace height and a nock point around 5/8". That is a great looking bow, congrats! I don't think you will be disappointed with it.
Nice Bow.
New here, when did the barn hunting season start?

Hey Tom,
If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask.
Talk ltr,
Brian
PS -- Sorry we missed you on Sun...I ran late in the am, then packing up camp etc...talk soon, Bud.
Thats a looker for sure. If it shoots half as good as it looks you'll be killing barns in no time....
Hey Brian NP man we'll shoot soone nough I'm sure! We shot the western and it was a pretty kewl shoot wish you guys were there!
I'm sure I will be posting alot of questions w/ this bow I have alot of learning to do!
Good looking bow.

Oooooh, classy. Love the riser on that one.
I have a Thunderhawk, I can shoot as low as 6.25-7.25 on the brace height, and a 5/8" nock works just fine for me.
Thanks for all the comments everyone!
A few questions...
The bow currently has FF for the string and since I have a string on order I was going to order one for this bow. I was curious if what ya'll would put on this bow? Should I just stick w/ the FF?
And arrows? A buddy gave me some 1916's and 2016's and I plan on bare shafting them but if I wanted to go to carbons what range should i work in?
I have been reading that new strings sometimes change the specs of the bow and w/ FF you need to shoot a stiffer arrow. It seems like I should wait to put a new string on this bow and set it up before I go buying arrows b/c they may not spine properly w/ a new string. What do ya'll think?
My apologies for these questions but its going tobe a long learning process for me!
I have a 14 strand DF97 on mine that "Golden Hawk" made for me, shoots quiet as a mouse with only a set of cat whiskers on it. I'm shooting A.D. Tradlites with 200 grains up front.
BTW, congrats on the new bow, it's a looker !!!
Ancient Spirits bows are soooo nice. One of the owners lives not far from me. I forget his name but have talked with him a few times and met him at cloverdale. Great guy. Tradgang member too.
I shot one of their bows that was total awesome. I forget the model. To pretty for me to be handling much less shooting. I couldn't imagine taking it to the woods. I had my selfbow and felt like I had just picked up an old stick in comparison to how pretty that bow was.

Yea for a clumsy fool like me every time I pick the bow up I start to panic and prey not to beat it up to bad! I had it sitting next to my old bear tigercat and man what a difference in 50 years LOL. This bow makes that bear look like a walking stick!
Hey Tom, Great Bow. You will love it. I have the loneboe MT ASH. We shot one time at Framers with Pete and the gang.
