When Scott filmed Dead on Traditonal he was shooting a 70lb Hatfield if I remember correctly. I know he has since changed his set up. dino

scott now shoots modern traditional equiptment. metal risers, rests and plungers. you can see his entire setup on the dvd, modern traditional. gives alot of insight to this type of gear.

There is nothing new about metal risers, rests and plungers

so where did this new term, modern traditional, come from? Oh by the way, sights have been around a long time also..bhfp

i think thats actually what scotts new dvd is called, modern trad. it is modern, if you think about it. metal is a more modern material than say wood.

Easy fellas'! Not worth the arguement, Everyone has an idea of what is traditional.

To get back on topic.....Scott's videos do have some good pointers, but not sure what bow he shoots anymore.

never fails!! somebody just has to try to stir the pot.im getting to where i dont even like posting a question on here!

In Dead on Traditional Scott was shooting either a Hatfield or Sky recurve. One was 68#, the other 77#.

He currently is shooting a Spig 650 Barebow Club ILF riser and Winex limbs. His video, Modern Traditional, shows his equipment and the shooting style he is currently using.

never fails thats for sure....and so far everyone is missing what im saying. the GUYS shooting with him in the segment at the archery club i think are shooting metal risers. what type of bows were THEY shooting was the question.

btw scott has some great shooting tips on the video

For anyone who IS wondering exactly what Scott Antczak shoots, he has two identical Spig risers, one that's camoed for hunting and a gorgeous red one for targets.

His Winex limbs are moderately adjustable, of course, but he shoots them at 45-47 pounds.

By the way, he likes the stability of a physically heavy bow. Right now, his bows sport one of those big "pinecones" that power cuckoo clocks, bringing his bows in at a remarkable 7 pounds!

Mark,

If Scott likes heavy bows, he would have loved the Bear Delta. It was a great shooter, except for the fact that it was very noisy and a maintenance nightmare. There was two fellas here in the Lowcountry some 20 years ago, or so, who had 8 or 10 Bear Deltas between them so they could keep two of them shooting! I believe the Delta weighed around 10#.
