Guest jessetjames Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 stepping out things all the time helps you a lot. so when that monster buck comes along you know exactly how far away he is. so like at malls pick a spot and guess how many yards it is then step it out. just different things like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParsonsOutdoors Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I shoot a Buckmaster BTR32 bow that I got from Walmart. It seems like it jumps, torques, and isn't that smooth shooting. I know the grip is a little fatter which might be causing the torque, but is there anything I can do to make it settle down more? I have a stabilizer on it that's there but not too heavy. I've shot other bows that seem much more calm at release. Is this simply a cheap bow with no way out and I can I tune it or add stuff to make it smoother or calmer shooting? Any suggestions? Thanks, Dan Take it off Dan. I'm shooting the Buckmasters BTR Pro and it did the same thing. I completely removed the rubber grip and now shoot with the bare riser (a little cold in the winter though). Problem solved! JP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hoyt4361 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 If you have a scope on your sight when you pull back Get the pin on the spot you want to hit. Then you focus on the target not the pin! Make sure the spot you want to hit is in the center of the scope. Then sqeeze the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Just some ideas for building yourself a bow-rack No actual plans, but this should get the creative juices flowing, to draw up your own Plans. I love the Deer, Elk, or Moose antler Idea, out of wood. You could come up with some cool designs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotman Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I'm buying the Bear Truth 2 -2008 in a few weeks. I was looking and researching a bow press that would work for that particular bow so I will be able to tune it to my own specifications/change strings without going to a dealer. this is what I found: http://www.beararcheryproducts.com/customer-service/manuals/ Due to the innovative and advanced design of your Bear Archery bow limbs, it is of the utmost importance that your bow ONLY BE PRESSED IN APPROVED BOW PRESSES. Traditional style presses that use rollers to apply pressure only to the mid section of the limbs CANNOT BE USED. Only presses that are capable of capturing the riser as close to the ends as possible and applying pressure to the limbs ONLY between the axle and limb flare as illustrated can be used. APPROVED BOW PRESSES: Fixed •Sure-Loc (must have USL wheel kit installed) •HTM •ELP •Big Squeeze (must use Limb Fork Attachment) Portable •Bowmaster (Quad Limb Brackets must be used) I did some pricing around on the sure-loc press and found that it was either priced for 799$(high) or $550(low). You can get the whole stand/press/tray/usl kit for $833 the lowest I have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nywhitetail9339 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 i think with a bear bow u have to use a x press because of the limbs but im not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTF Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Lots of good replies in this thread. I wish I had this forum way back when I first started bowhunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 After serving your accessories on your string, DON'T use a lighter to melt the ends. Use a soldering iron that has a fine tip. I learned the hard way the other day by fraying my string! DOH! After looking around, I spotted the soldering iron, which happens to have a fine tip on it. It worked great!

hutchies Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 By increasing your draw weight you may have to change arrows to increase the spine to create less flex from the added weight. Also you probably will have to resight in your bow because the added dw will make your bow faster creating a more direct arrow flight(less drop). It's better to change these in the off season so you have time to practice. One thing to add to that is that you can also adjust spine by changing the weight tip you put in your arrows. Less weight will stiffen the spine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matt_tibbit Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Proper Fit My biggest peice of advice when it comes to bow tuning is to first of all make sure that you are shooting the right peice of equipment for you. Bows are like clothing. If you wear a Large t-shirt...you're not going to go out and buy a XXL or XXXL...unless you're a gangsta/wangsta/thug/homeboy. So, now matter how cheap that bow is (garage sale, bow shop sale rack, your buddy's hard-up for some cash, etc.)...don't buy it. You need to first buy the bow that fits you properly when it comes to draw weight and poundage...even if that means you have to spend a little more money. Because if I'm your prey, I want you to be shooting the equipment that's right for you, that you have tuned perfectly and that you shoot consistently tight groups with. Hunting ethically with the proper equipment that we are dead-eye with is the least we can do for the animals that we have the privilege of hunting.

Guest BusterBoy Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 http://www.tenzone.u-net.com/Equipment/tuning/pdfs/tuning01.pdf Here is one I've referenced before. Similar info as the other resources listed, but a little different wording, which sometimes can be helpful... Looks good but as a newbie , I don't understand ALOT of the wording . Button too tight is one example . Button ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nitroguy Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 the best tip I can give is if you drive 70 miles each way to hunt, don't do like I did and leave your bow at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hdmyg228 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Sling shot with ammo in the handle Has anyone bought this type of sling shot before that holds the amo in the handle? http://www.liangdianup.com/sporting_1.htm this company has free shipping to anywhere in the world and they guarantee delivery to Australia. I heard that sling shots are ok to sell in Australia as long as you say they are being used to toss bait in the water when you go fishing, any truth to thatone?

spikekiller Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Here are a couple of accessories that really help on how your bow will shoot. First is the Death Grip...I have used this grip for two years now and it does eliminate torque. This really excels in the field when you are heavy wearing gloves etc. http://vanhandle.com/ The second is the B-Stinger stabilizer...this stab really helps you to hold your bow steady. http://stores.b-stinger.com/StoreFront.bok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Home-made Center-shot Tool After looking at the laser ones, I knew I could make one just as good, but way, way cheaper...LOL Here is an older type very similar to the one I made. I don't think they make these any more. Here's my home-made Center-shot tool. Try to get the hole in the wood straight...eh Just pretend the rubber piece is the laser beam. Set it to the string first, while resting it just below where your rest screws on to your bow. Once the rubber is set to mid string, flip the whole thing over, and adjust your REST (without moving the rubber) until the rubber is in the center of your arrow. rubber thingy (Tuffy Button): http://www.keystonecountrystore.com/...TA1235502.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnyThomas Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 BOW TUNING: Tips and Tricks i've noticed at 35 yards and on, my arrows are whipping the knock around to the left any suggestions? At that distance your arrow should be behaving quite well. In fact, out some out of tune bows most arrows are fully corrected by 15 yards if not sooner. If a tuning problem it should show up right out of the bow. suggest shooting through paper to see what's happening. Also, some people see their arrows (fletchings) spinning and think their arrow is acting goofy and the arrow is actually perfect in flight.
