Bud

You also might go to the  ” search the forums ” ( bows and equipment / friends of foc) and ask about lighter than std bows for hunting – in the past there was a lot of discussion about this—

in reply to: Understanding aluminum arrows help! #139277

Hi Andrew

What Richard said – I Havn’t used an aluminum arrow in a few years so can’t give a definitive answer. I remember 2213s and 2117s were well liked for your bow weight /draw. I think whatever arrow in that class that shoots well with a razor sharp broadhead will work fine for most N Am hunting.

Thanks for the info on TAN. Been thru Nevada a lot , but have not hunted it as of yet.

This looks like a good way for interested members to find out about bowhunting the state while helping the cause —-

Yep , pretty quiet.

I imagine most folks are out enjoying the summer weather, rather than inside writing on the  computer.

Got hot quick, here in NM, been a real windy year also.

I think I will go out and shoot some arrows this morning while it is still cool – haha- start practicing for the fall.

Have a great day everyone

in reply to: Smoking arrows ??? #138851

I don’t have the foggiest idea how to do it —-

But, where there is smoke, there is fire – or the possibility there of – safety first.

Mixing chemicals is something I avoid at this stage in life

Clay Hayes has a video on it also ( no jig, flemish ). He does excellent videos on a multitude of tradbow subjects – imho

 

I’d call the tournament officials for string rules , don’t have any idea what’s allowed these days

Personal preference again –

Flemish- more adjustable/ more quiet ( a lot of people prefer the look of them on trad bows).

Endless loop – settle faster / more stable,  tournament archers preference

Beautiful bow – just the style I like. Too bad he retired .

Yes, Texas has a lot of game and Great hunting – but as we know, access is an issue.  Made good friends over the years there, and they still allow me to hunt periodically. Really good folks in Texas always a hoot.

Daily problem for me these days — remembering anything in correct order – haha –

What bow is that in the pic ?

Richard

Always interesting to see the variations in speed between bows, and that a 10 to 15 fps upgrade looks ” real fast ” in comparison, I guess because in archery it is —-or at least appears that way to the eye.

Hmmm, the slow, easier to pull bow is practically more accurate  !?— haha methinks they would all get the job done with a sharp broadhead in the right spot.

Richard

Short answer – personal preference

Off the shelf – simpler, more foolproof in hunting ( arrows falling off the rest) better for instinctive shooting

Off a (raised)rest – more accuracy (easier to tune) – can use vanes

 

PS if i remember correctly – Martin purchased Howatt, hence a mamba bow  from either and or both – haha. Don’t recall if Hoyt ever built a Mamba named bow —
