New Bow

Greg Sz. · April 30, 2008, 05:05:00 PM

I got a new bow over the weekend.

It is a 63 1/2" Herters 40#@28. I was wondering what type of arrows I should get. I think I have a 29" draw but when I was out shooting with my uncle he thought it was a little too long... so I really dont know.

Nice looking bow! I would think a 1916 aluminum or .600 spine carbon would be close for you depending on how heavy of an arrow you want to shoot.

Thanks. What about wood arrows?

1916 should do it, and I would also try 1816.

Wanna try some of mine? I have Sundays and Wednesdays off, and shoot over near Fountainhead. Oh dear, I dunno if I have any arras that long. Better let me shoot it and we'll guesstimate.

Tapered ash, cut to 29" BOP, 40-45# spine oughta get it done. Cedars about the same, or 5# higher. I have some at 28", but 29 is...um, out of my reach. Sorry!

George L. never had a lick of sense, he cut the shelf on the wrong side. Hap

Nice

Yeah Allen I was at Dixie with it. My Uncle had brought it and another bow for me to try down with him since my old one was a 30#. I was shooting so well with it that he decided that he would get it for me. I love how it shoots.

Killdeer I would be glad to let you shoot it. But unfortunately I am unavailable for the next couple weeks. But as soon as I have time I would be glad to go to a shoot with you.

Going to Baltimore for the Trad Classic? (5/16-5/18)
I'll practice my left-handed shooting...

I am trying to go but my mother is not so into it. Thats what happens when ur still under 18 and living at home

Does she like horses? There are horses boarded there that she can watch and pet. She can hang out at my camp (I will bring two chairs and a shady canopy) and they serve a great chicken dinner, and barbecue beef, all cooked on a big grill there. Byron Ferguson will be there doing performances, and there is a real flush toilet. If she birdwatches, there are lots of good birds there, too. It is a very family-friendly shoot.

Lemme see...any angles I missed?
