in reply to: Fixing my bow grip #35547

I never noticed my riser flexing until it was brought up. I always felt it moving but i thought it was my hand compressing from the draw weight and still think thats most of the movement I feel. Coming from a compound background. I do hold it with just my thumb and index finger and open the rest of my hand. Its just a force of habit. Anyway if the riser was flexing a lot when you shot there would be a crap load of hand shock and mine doesn’t have that much. I’m not too worried about it. But I will leave mine alone. Thanks for talking me out of it. If it gets to be a problem I’ll just get something else. But anyway thanks for all the input on the subject. I have no doubt that everyone on this site knows way more about the subject than I do.

To answer the riser flexing question. Yeah it feels like it does just a little. Its not much at all though. The more I think of trying to modify it the more I don’t want to. I’m affraid I’m going to mess it up. And the throat feels fine. Its the palm area that doesn’t feel right. Its just a little fat. But I’m prolly just being picky or complicated and other than that I love the bow. I just shot my first set of cedar arrows in it today and it shoots great. It’s not a big enough factor for me to risk messing up the bow.

Hum I’ve never paid any attention to my riser flexing. What poundage is yours. Mine is a 54 @ 28. I don’t have a warranty, I got mine from Big Jims tent at the KY Klassic last year. I like it fine the way is but it could fit my hand better. Does yours fit your hand well. Ok now you have got me wondering, I’ve gotta go shoot and see if my riser is flexing I’ll talk to you later. lol

Heck yeah I’m hunting small game and I agree with you on the squirrels are hard to hit. So far the closest I’ve came is getting some hair on the end of my arrow. How you can get close enough to get some hair but not kill a squirrel is beyond me but it sure is a lot of fun to try. I’ll wish you luck on getting one of those little terds thought. haha

Nice collection to both. Thanks for putting the dates. I have 6 of the 1956 Crestwood Sabres. I knew they were pretty old but didn’t think they were from the 50’s. Thanks again for the post. I would love to see pics of other peoples collections if anyone has any

Yeah I will probably just leave it alone. I like the older look of it too. I’m not going to risk messing it up. Thanks

Hey thanks for the info George. I wasen’t aware that you needed to go over bow weight with spine. Geez I’m such a newbie. Since I didn’t know as much as I thought I did (usually the case) I have another question. I had some older arrows that I got from a friend. I got them just cause I liked them have no idea what spine they are. I cleaned them and refinished them and fletched them. I shot one and it went about two feet left at under 20 yards. I assumed that the spine was way too stiff for my bow. Am I right?

in reply to: How do you hang your bow? #15864

I use the same bow holder that mounts to the side of my treestand that I used when I hunted with my compound. It works just fine and I haven’t had any problem with my arrows falling off the shelf. But the holder is mounted on the shooting rail part of my stand so the arrow is about eye level so maybe it being in my face makes me pay attention to it and not let it fall off. Who knows sorry for the useless information. haha

I wouldn’t have thought about them making the shaft break. Humm I guess they are junk. Oh well money saved. Thanks for the advice

[cody]

in reply to: adapter points #10311

Yeah I kind of figured that. It does create a dead spot between the tip threads and the end of the shaft. I’ll just leave them alone, thanks for the info and for saving me a little money.

in reply to: Need help with shooting issue. #36897

I have had the same problem. I shoot a Predator recurve. I bought it at a Kentucky traditional shoot this summer. I took it to the range and the first shot layed the top of my hand open. I shoot a right helical and switching to a left I imagine would fix the problem. But being a compound shooter for years when i came to full draw force of habit was letting palm pull out away from the grip and in return would let the top of my hand roll up toward the arrow. I started keeping my palm in the handle and it fixed the problem.

in reply to: how to hunt mature does? #23578

I agree with you fellas. Im my opinion a mature wise ol’ doe is just as much of a trophy as a big buck. They are just as hard to kill. Sure the braggin rights might not sound as good but you can’t eat those horns anyway. This is my first year hunting with my recurve and so far its been a hummbeling experience. Im still waiting to take my first whitetail too. So far that mature doe we are talking about has busted me three different times, but our last encounter ended up with her getting a little bit of hair shaved off her chest. I consider that a win in both her and my coloum.
