Bushy Tail Butcher Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Bow Nope, got me a used bow. AM 32, and love it. It's the best bow I ever shot. Love the draw, and shoots smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbHunterNY Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Got my girlfriend an '08 Diamond Edge and myself an '07 TechHunter Elite; no need to change here. A handful of people have been saying I should get a Z7 though, even though I don't need it. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I bought a Ross Cardiac just before the 2009 bow season (I think it was in September). Its dang sure a shooter. It's not as forgiving as some of the older bows ive owned but once you dial it in game on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyluck Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Yep, July 2009 traded in my Mathews Q2 for a Mathews DXT. Didn't get a deer this year but did get my first Robin Hood with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mallard_drake85 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Yuppers Brother and I each treated ourselves to a graduation gift of a new PSE Bow Madness XS for graduating with our Master of Science degrees with our sanity! Have only shot the things a few times since we bought em, but absolutly love them. Our old PSE Nova's were 10+ years old and we've harvested numerous deer with em and literally have fireed thousands of arrows so we decided it was time for an upgrade and to convert our Nova's into bowfishing rigs!!!:gunsmilie: Bro with his Me with mine The 10, 20, and 30 yd pins are dead on...havn't had a chance to take it out to 40 or 50 yards yet! mallard_drake85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m gardner Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Just bought a barely used Bear Grizzly with the original arrows. It's in perfect condition. I need to pinch myself. I haven't been able to shoot a traditional bow since my last operation in 1996. I tried shooting a friends and found I was strong enough to shoot with fingers again. I have a standing offer to shoot over a gun shy bird dog as soon as I feel I can hit pheasants. Maybe by fall. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnyThomas Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 anyone get a new bow? Ordering one this Saturday. Hoyt shooters turn your head. I'm ordering a new Martin ShadowCat. But ain't no way I'm getting rid of my 4 Hoyts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark best of luck to ya...we've had 2 shoulder opperations each (we're twins and do everything in pairs. lol) and for the longest time were unable to draw even 40#'s. but the doc said that the injury was much less traumatic than it could have been given that our muscles were built up from all the shooting!!! you'll get back to it, it just takes some time...more often than not, alot longer than you would like! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fingers seem to work better now so I'm excited about being able to go back to a traditional bow. God bless you guys. I hope you have full recoveries. mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Not yet, but hope to be getting a new maxxis bone collector, hope its worth the doe and lives up to the hype. I loved my old hoyt but time for a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnyThomas Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 anyone get a new bow? Ordering one this Saturday. Hoyt shooters turn your head. I'm ordering a new Martin ShadowCat. But ain't no way I'm getting rid of my 4 Hoyts. Well, several weeks passed and no bow. Seems there was a problem in coating the bows. Martin, I guess, now has their own paint, dip or coat operation.However, I was loaned a jet black Shadowcat by a staff shooter. Awesome in a good word. Still, it was a tad slow, managing just 264 fps with the 50 pounds limbs. BUT! Talk about accurate. I couldn't believe it could shoot so well with it being a tad long on draw length. A test bow, it now has been sent back to the factory.And then I got another with 60 pounds limbs to shoot. I guess it's mine. This one is a little updated as the grip is more contoured. And it shoots every bit as good as the jet black one.Just a couple days ago I was shooting 30 yards and more and if I missed the X I was kinda disappointed - still glad to nail the 5 though.Did a test run of sorts - changing draw weight to see how it effected accuracy. And then some guys wanting to know how the Shadowcat shoots didn't help. So a bit of nerves, but from 30 yards and 32 shots later I took a pic.

cain Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Bought my first bow: a new-in-box '08 Bowtech Commander. All I need now is a sight and arrows and I'm ready to shoot. A little late to be starting this year I guess, but it should still be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
