Bow Hunter Derek Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Re: How Much $$ on Bow Set Up????? Around $900 in EACH one of my bows. That is $1,800 and that does not include my fishing bow and my old clunker that hangs in the barn. I hope my wife does not see this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robk Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Re: How Much $$ on Bow Set Up????? if i listed mine oout today and included the arrows and releases and the all i would have about 1200 in the bow and other gear. but that doesn't make a person a shooter or hunter am i right about this or not and if it is for bragging then that;s not a cool thing. people know you don';t have to buy the best bows or or the best release but you need to buy t good equipment to go on the bow and you can be shooting with a couple of dozen arrows and not spend over 500 and for soem not even 400 dollars they all kill you just have to be able to put he arrow in the right spot rob k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntrman Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Re: How Much $$ on Bow Set Up????? I would have to say about $650 in my '05 Hoyt Ultramag with the whole kit and kaboodle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to see how much differance there is in how much we all spend on bow hunting and equipment. I hunted for years without having $125 in my whole setup and killed plenty of deer. You are right it is all about shot placement. Although a good bow and set up does help no matter what the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTbowman Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Re: How Much $$ on Bow Set Up????? My custom CheckMate recurve, that is still in the works, is costing me $460. Custom made side quiver and arm guard.=$45 2 dozen GT Trad 5575 bare shafts.=$80 Sheild Cut feathers for shafts.=$40 2 dozen relflective wraps.=$13 6 Magnus Snuffer 125g heads.=$25 New shooting gloves.=$15 (x2) Total.=$695-ish. However I do not have this bow yet so I am using a long bow I traded my ML for. That was an easy even $400 trade.... (I may of gotten the better end of that deal really..LOL) So if you add that in then I got about a $1000 into my hunting set ups. BTW I also bought 2 other bows. 1 for $185 and one for $115. But I won't count those in. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
