Lots of talk out there about this bow and that bow. I'm fortunate enough to own nine or ten myself. Both recurves and longbows. Love 'em all but... Must have the arrow tuned correctly or  :knothead:  After my bump heals up I'll be out there shootin' the pants off of some of you fellas. I hope...

Ain't no magic bows, arrows, broadheads, strings, gloves, tabs, silencers....a little tuning can go a long way, and eliminate the need for band-aids....

Like the Indians use to say "Any bow good bow,but a heap lot of work to make good arrows"
A bow has never killed a deer,but arrows sure have.
Quote from Howard Hill.( Whenever he taught someone to shoot) "Son make up your mind right now if you want to target shoot or hunt as theres a world of differance between the two"

I have one bow! I've shot the same setup for a whole year "same bow same arrows" Kind of boring but it works. I can pick it up without thinking and just shoot. It just feel's natural! Good luck with the tuning! Jason

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

My 1 trad bow is Magic.....it speaks to me.  :rolleyes:  

Every time I pick it up, it says ..."Oh no, not again!"

Then when I shoot it says.... "You Suck!"

That's usually when I start to cry and put it away.

As I start to walk away from it I can hear a long sigh of relief coming from the bow ..."Whew..I'm glad that's over with, there for a minute I thought it was all my fault?"

Mikey, you might be the handsomest guy on the block but you sho enough are a few sandwiches short of a picnic. I own several magic bows and Ive whooped you with at least 3 of them and plan on doing so a 4th time at your tree rat hunt. You want some of this??? Glad your better half is doing well.   :readit:

If there is no magic bow, how do I convince my wife I need just one more or maybe two more.    :)    :)

mcgroundstalker

OMG! What Did I Start?! Anyway... I must confess that I do own a magic bow. It's a BW TFV that my wife gave me back in 2002. Kinda like (shooting) an ex-girlfriend.  :rolleyes:  Did I just say that?

See... All this is to talk me outa spending too much $$$ on stuff I don't need. Maybe I can tune some of my 150 plus arrows (2016's, 11/32 woodies & 45/60 Carbon Express) to each bow.  :archer2:  ...

Shoot some MFX 500s and they will impart magic into any of your old bows.

Just keep telling myself..

I must have faith.

There is a magic bow.
There is a magic bow.

There may be a bow that suits one archer better than another, for certain.  But the arrow and the tuning of bow to shaft and shaft to bow is the key.

Ain't nothing wrong with a pretty bow.  And who's to say pride of ownership doesn't give someone added confidence or incentive to practice and lead to better shooting?

Yup the bow is only as good as the arrow which is only as good as your form! Unless you hang them as decoration and never shoot them.   :goldtooth:

I have some perfectly matched arrows to a old beat up not pretty to look at bow but shoots great. If your magic is starting to fade send it my way and I will get this old thing out of here.

  Calling all, once magic bows.   :biglaugh:    :laughing:
