Carbon or Fiberglass....Whats YOUR choice?!?

 

 

 

[Trond]

Glass for the looks, carbon for extra speed. Me, I prefer glass for the wooden look and feel. Carbon becomes to "tec" on a trad bow for me.

I like the looks of that carbon backed one, but that lefty would sure shoot nice I bet  :D

[cmh]

The carbon backed one makes for a good looking bow.....  But it looks so high tech     I guess traditional can merge with high tech  

[Wannabe1]

I like them both!  

[Alexander Traditional]

I usually prefer the looks of clear glass,but for some reason with the purple heart I like the looks of the carbon. They are both good looking bows though.

[Zbone]

tenbrook  - Do you have a source for that carbon backing?

Thanks...

[beachbowhunter]

If you squint you can imagine the carbon is snakeskin    :D  

Same question as Zbone...where are you getting the cross weave carbon?

[M60gunner]

Either one looks good to me. But,I also want a bow that will give me max performance. What is wrong with a carbon backed bow with clear glass belly? When I am shooting I see the belly only

[Bryan Korte]

That carbon rocks.  But I definitely like both and could go either way.

[SquareHead]

I prefer the fiberglass at first glance because it looks more traditional.

However, knowing myself, over time I would start to like the carbon, just need to see it more.  I am pretty open minded, just slow getting there!

One of these days, weeks, years, etc., carbon will probably be traditional.

Both good looking bows!

[Steelhead]

The carbon looks very good with the purple heart on that particular bow.Purple and black go well together.

i like the glass, like to see the wood.
carbon is great stuff, just doesnt have that warm feel of wood.

[njloco]

I just can't see them that well, why don't you send  them to me so I  can see them first hand and make a well informed decision, whatcha think ?

They're both beautiful !

[KyRidgeRunner]

carbon fiber!  I think it looks cool!

[jt85]

I could go either way, but outta the two pictured I would take the carbon backed bow in a hart beat.

[caligator]

They both are sweet! I'd take the carbon. Looks really nice with the purple heart. Just out of curiosity, what are the specs for each?

[overbo]

Carbon is like a metal riser for me. Maybe I'm too Old school. That's why I like a bow w/ both. Carbon back, core and belly w/ wood veneers to cover that space age looking stuff.

Nice looking bows

Glass

[Zbone]

Hmmmm.... I don't get it, nobody reveals sources for carbon fiber...

Curious, anyone using carbon/fiberglass, such as carbon backing with glass belly or visa versa?

Thanx
