Well I ordered an Argos... Straight grip as James straight grip is just majical, so I am wondering how's the Argos still doing for ya!! Anyone else have an Argos out there?

Well, you have heard from me before, so I am old news but I love my Argos. 48@28, 66", yew veneers, Bamboo cores, Wenge riser. It likes the GT 3555's.

Missed a deer with it this year (pick a spot! LOL)... next year I will get one!

You won't be sorry you ordered an Argos!

I can't stop shooting my Vixen........ until I remember I still have an old Serpentine (a little too heavy for me now (68# at my draw)..... now you guys are making me want an Argos :-)

I am actually taking my vixen to Rick Welch's class in a few weeks.... can't wait to see how this bow performs after as I am already shooting better than I ever have and my form leaves something to be desired :-)

Dave,
That is exciting that yiu are going to Rick Welch. Id love to attend. Glad to hear you are loving the Vixen too.
I (and James) don't know why I don't order another vixen as I don't shoot any other bow anyway but I just want to try the Argos.

And If you ever think about parting with that serpentine, keep me in mind

DaveT1963 · « **Reply #28 on:** March 12, 2013, 10:46:00 AM »

Will do Brian, but I can't imagine parting with this bow as I have too many memories with the serpentine. One for instance is my first bear kill. I stalked a med blackie up in the Selway area in MT and placed an ash shaft right through the goodie box at 5 yards..... I stalked that bear three times and didn't realize how close I was.... the bear turned the bow came up and the arrow was gone. I am just glad he decided not to turn towards me and just bolted up the bank.

Or there was the time when a buck I'd been chasing for two years..................

My bows are like a good hound dog, can't seem to part with them even in their twlight hours :-)

Dave,
Thanks for that story!! Sounds like it was very exciting. I can see why you wouldn't want to part with them!

Beautiful yew, I can't wait to get me an Argos.

We need more photos from other Argos owners!! Not very many I have found through searches. I love the look of these longbows, very nice lines!

I miss my argos so much. One of the few bows i would want back after sellin. And would still have it if i wouldnt have needed the money desperately. 68" all yew cores purple heart riser 48@28. Smoothest bow ever. Luckily i still have 3 berrys to call mine. 66" vixen 66" mistydawn 66" taipan. Been shooting straight end bows for about 5 years now and the vixen and misty dawn are awesome. My vixen is my go to bow and has been for several years. Wish i had pics of my argos still ,it was a great lookin bow and shot even better. Still kicking myself for that one

jwhitetail · « **Reply #33 on:** March 13, 2013, 11:28:00 PM »

Here's a couple of pics of mine.

jwhitetail · « **Reply #34 on:** March 13, 2013, 11:31:00 PM »

Mods... I swear I resized these on Photo Bucket... Not sure why they came out so big??!! Bummer.

Please delete if need be.

Jerry,
That bow just screams, "Im a shooter" I love it

jwhitetail · « **Reply #36 on:** March 13, 2013, 11:41:00 PM »

She sure is! And here's the deal, I just recently found that this bow really loves the heavier arrows so I put weight tubes in my GT 3555 carbons and run an arrow that is around 550 grains... man the whole set-up is dead quiet and I just love the positive "thud" when they hits the target at high speed!

Brianlocal3 · « **Reply #37 on:** March 14, 2013, 10:56:00 AM »

I bet it does!!!! Rockin the target with that

Yes your bow becomes like a close friend. All of the tournaments I went to he was right there with me. All of the miles I've walked hunting, he was right there with me, even if I did have to carry him, lol. But when it came time to make that one perfect shot on a elk or deer he was there for me. So when he's old and tired he will not be sold or put down in the basement. He will be right there with me hanging on the wall.
