[Coty]

I AM JUST STARTING TO GET INTO BOWS.. MY NEIGHBORS LET ME SHOOT THERES, AND ITS AWESOME.

LET ME KNOW WHAT KIND YOU GOT. AND SOME PICS OF IT AND YOUR KILLS..

i am looking at a Hoyt, its used, and has about $600 in it, the guy said he would sell it to me for $200

[Billy Golightly]

I've got a 70lb 30inch draw Bear compound bow I play with some, haven't really hunted with it any. Doesn't have sights or anything. I did shoot an aluminum arrow (With no tip) throw a 55 gallon drum about a 100ft away with it :-)

[Coty]

thats a waste of a bow...get you some sights and actually do something with it.

[Billy Golightly]

Its not a waste...during 4th of July I buy cheap arrows and and we wire tie fireworks to it and someone lights them and I launch them, hehe. Its not like I bought it new, it was like $20 at a yardsale 10 years ago.

[Coty]

wanna sell it

[Billy Golightly]

Naa I just bought some new arrows and field tips for it.

................even know i dont hunt..............i................know
.....................that......................... ...rifles are better ;) lol jk, whatever kills the big one!!

[AirManCam]

Rifles kill dear faster but bows are made to track them to make em suffer :twisted: And to add some sport too it.

[yyz4208@aol.com]

I have used a crossbow many times never compound bow
I wish NY state would allow them for hunting crossbow that is

[TeCaTe_MaN]

it is illegal to hunt dear with a .22 because it is "inhumane" just unload the clip and youll get em

[mrman550]

i hav mathews q2 solo cam with extreem sights and golden key arrow rest and i shoot redline carbon arrows all together it cost me over 1 grand

[AirManCam]

Yeah I wish we could use crossbows in ny too there fun! And thats not why they wont let you hunt deer with them. Becuase they are too small of a gun lol. They are a "rodent" gun lol. I see them as a all purpose gun :D

[yyz4208@aol.com]

My uncles cross bow has about the same power as compound
and hes taken many deer with it also the night scope helps alot too

[AirManCam]

Haha we have some jackers heh?

[Muddy200x]

I got a PSE that I ues for bow fishing. Theres a local sport shop by me that sponcers a carp shooting compitition for cash and prises. All I can say is try it its fun. All you need is a fishing license. It beats the hell out of shooting at a paper target.
Heres a site that shows what im talking about.

hey atleast its not bad as spot lighting

I will be entering my 18th year of bowhunting in about a month(deer).. bowfishing is also a blast.

The bow I use is an older Hoyt/Easton competition(target) with only 30% let off .. not much let off but as accurate as they come. I shoot aluminum arrows. The carbon have not impressed me that much with the durability issue of target shooting ... it gets expensive breaking carbon.... At 75 lbs (what I hunt at) a tree branch would likely have very flat trajectory(sp?) shot out of this bow.

I use only recurve bows and blackpowder rifles. Anything else would be like riding a quad. Or to quote another on this site "having a sister in a whore house" Both of these kills were on my property. One on left was taken with blackpowder, tree stand 150 yds. The one on right was take with recurve, 20yds, ground blind.

[AirManCam]

I have some pics of a 13 pointer i took. Then i have a lot more pics but they arent workin because they are too big

[bentwrench]

PM'm to me I'll down size them and post them for you. Lets show some good scores!

[AirManCam]

Whats your email i will email them too you.

[bentwrench]

You need to update your e-mail address. I've tried to PM you three time and comes back returned.

[AirManCam]

I emailed you pictures :D

[yamaha225dx]

The nicest bow I ever shot was my buddy Gabe VanWormer from Michigan Out of Doors bow. It has the red dot scope on it and is accurate as heck. Any of you Michiganders watch a shoot on bow fishing for carp that is another Buddy of mine that I work with. It was just filmed last week (friday) so it won't be on for a while.

[bentwrench]

Here's some pics I sized for Airmancam. Nice deer!

[bentwrench]

Here's his little brother.

[bentwrench]

OK he sent three pics. Last one.

[AirManCam]

In the first pic thats my cousin with my 13 I got last season. Then the second pic theres my little bros first deer. Not a bad 4 pointer at that! And the last pic is my 13 pointer. I have a pic of 4 different deer we shot on thanksgiving too. Idk where it is though if I find it do you want it?

[Fast416ex]

I've been bowhunting for 11 years now, and I've shot 3 elk and 2 deer. I have a Martin Phantom Mag bow at #70 draw with a Super Doodle rest, and a Tropy Ridge 5 pin sight. I finally shot my first 6 pt bull 2001 and it was a all nighter packing him out, but it was well worth it :-D
I rifle hunt as well, but hunt deer and elk with a bow. In 2000, I shot my first bear in the lungs with my 300 Win Mag with 180 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip reloads from 700 yds out, and she flipped over and rolled down the ridge like a sack of spuds. She looks great on my wall and she was excellent on the dinner plate :-D Here is a pic of a nice whitetail buck I got last fall during the late archery/muzzleloader season.

Im an proud bowhunter,

We dont have many deer in Australia especially in Nsw. So the main species i hunt are Cats, Foxes, Rabbits, Goats, Pigs, Ducks, Hares and whatever else.

Ive shot a few bunnies, a goat, birds, cat (dident retrieve it) another big billy that i dident retrieve. A few of my rabbits have got away on me too.
Ive been hunting about 2 years. I use a 35 pound bear little delta set at 25 inches. I shoot release aid and have sights. i have wood arrows with the ever reliable 2 blade davies broadheads on them.

[atcmatt]

I have a Martin Phantom Mag bow at #70 draw

I was lookin to get one of these bows in the near future!!
how do you find its performance??????? does it have good accuracy and does it hit hard?????

[Fast416ex]

The Phantom Mag is very accurate and it hits hard with the right splined arrow for the draw weight of the bow. The bow only weighs a little over #3 bare, so it's light and comfortable to pack in the woods :-D
