I just would like to know Who shoots a Heavy Mass Weight Bow? I need to weigh My KingFisher Bow to get Her mass weight, But I'm finding out I shoot a little better with it then I did with any lighter mass weight bow I had.

I'm a metal guy for that very reason, lots easier to hold steady.  The beauty of a bow to me is being able to see that arrow go right to its mark time after time.

Tall Tines 3 pc recurve is the heaviest mass weight bow I own by a long shot.....I like the added weight, and they shoot very well for me.

I shoot Wes Wallace recurves, and they have good mass weight, depending on wood choice.  I don't like light bows, one reason I don't care for longbows.

Everyone with a Widow!

ya widow is the heaviest ive owned

My Jack Kempf Kwyk Styk wieghs a ton. The Cocobolo riser is super heavy. Almost as heavy as my BW PSAX.

Yes my BWs are the heaviest I own.There is room for any different mass weight,everything having its own applications.When I go elk hunting on the Rocky highs I love the featherweight of my Robertsons and now of the incredible Zipper SXT.When I hunt from a stand or boars the higher mass bow can be handy.Once you learn how to master a lightweight bow you can just shoot better a heavier one.

My PSA2 with the 7/5 quiver and 7 ash arrows weighed a ton.

My Silvertip with a limb bolt selway loaed with 2216's was pretty hefty.Would like to get a Widow PMA for this reason too.Can't shoot light bows as good as heavier weights.Like Diamond Paul that's some of the reason I don't care for LB's.

My Pittsley Predator recurve is quite heavy, especially with a bow quiver full of Beman MFX Classics. I had a BW MAB once and it was heavy as well. I don't shoot heavy mass weight bows any better than I shoot light weight bows. I've owned a 54" Shrew, a Beeler Hybrid, and a Bear Montana and I shot those bows just as well as I shot my heavier bows.     I know, it doesn't make any sense to me either!       :confused:    

But I still like the feel and stability of the heavier mass weight bows though.

Border Black Douglas Swift in cocobolo.

definately! went from a shrew to a silvertip then lost my mind and went to a Centuar only to end up with a Border black douglas. The heavy mass definately helps my accuracy.

The bows that I shoot best are my Bear takedowns. They are pretty heavy.

I think that is one of the reasons why I shoot recurves better than longbows.  I have a Blacktail and a couple of Schafers and they are the bows I shoot best.  I think it really helps with follow through, less "jumpy" in your hand at release.

Can't say mine is heavy. It weighs exactly 1½ pound.

My Widow PSAIII is my heaviest bow.  Even without the quiver it is very noticeable when I shoot as hand shock is much reduced in the widow.  In fact, with a bowquiver (Great Northern) and 4 arrows this bow is too heavy for my tastes.  However, mass weight isn't near the most important thing to me when it comes to deciding which my bows to shoot.  My Blacktail elite VL (1-piece) is my lightest bow but it ahoots terrific. I have a Bear TD Supreme B and A riser takedowns (just received the A riser yesterday from the factory).  These bows, while not custom jobs are beautiful, very well made, superbly finished, and shoot very well.  They are moderate in mass weight. I tink the very narrow, low wrist grip has a lot to do with this bow's shootability.

I had Kevin at Rivers Edge build me a CLX in Bocote and Macassar Ebony.  It seems to be quite heavy, at least heavier than the rest of my bows.  Mass weight = stability IMHO.

Good shoot'in.

My Bob Lee is real heavy (3 to 3.5#) with the Selway full of arrows. I agree with the rest of the bunch, heavy mass = more stability. IMO

My 25" ILF target bow riser is around 5 pounds by it'self.

I ordered my PLX with a solid black glass riser to give it a little mass.
