        I may be wrong, but, wasn’t it Clint Eastwood who said…..”A mans got to know his limitations”! I think that’s pretty sound advise. 😉 Horserod

          I practice out to 25 yds, but, I restrict myself to 20 yds and under for hunting conditions. Actually, in the last 25 years of deer hunting all shots have been 17 yds and under. Horserod

            I sure wish I had my 53# Super Diablo back…..It was probably the best bow I ever shot back then. I was deadly accurate with that bow…….Gosh, how we make big mistakes from time to time……:( Horserod

              in reply to: '59 Bear Kodiak replica #17915

              I’ll second that what Steve said. My ’70 Super Kodiak and ’70 Tigercat not to mention my ’75 Kodiak Magnum and ’76 Super Grizzly look almost brand new…..compared to my 2001 Super Kodiak which hasn’t been shot that much. I’ve heard of other similar finish and fiberglass problems too. A new Bear? No thank you until they get their act together. 🙁 Horserod

                I really don’t know why one would even leave the shaved quills in place? Why not just shoot a “bare” shaft as it is refered to for tuning….??? Or am I missing something here? Horserod

                    This is a time of the year that I like to get out and combine both scouting and stump shooting……It’s fun and helps me keep in “bowhunting” shape! And finding antler sheds is a bonus too. Horserod

                        You know guys, I’ve got a half dozen of old Bear Magnums (308’s) that needs fletched. Tomorrow I think I’ll dust of the old Blitzen and get the job done! Thanks for the reminder of how much fun that is, one feather at a time! 😀 Horserod

                          Yeah, I’m shooting less #’s and enjoying it more myself! Now if I could loose some body pounds I could get around better for sure…..but, the trouble is I like to eat and drink a few beers! After 66 years of hard labor I deserve it anyway……….That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it!!!! 😉 Horserod

                            Correct me if I’m wrong….but, our early bowhunting “Hero’s” like Pope & Young and Howard Hill (among others) used barbed heads during their hunting adventures and I don’t remember any negative reports generated by such exploits. They are legal here in Ohio as I made several calls to our DNR. I haven’t tried them yet as I use the Hunter’s Head, Howard Hill and Jerry Hill’s heads right now. I have taken a bunch of deer using alot of different heads. Like most here have stated: “It’s placing the arrow where it needs to be with a razor sharp edge on the broadhead blades that does the job most efficiently” However, YMMV, Just my 2 cents…….Horserod

                                Robbie, Troy is pretty much right on. The string length is different for a longbow or recurve. I’ve found that (for me) 5 twists of the string is equal to 1/2″ though. Your twists might vary too! 🙂 Horserod

                                  Great Northern bows just plain work for me. They are very well built, very good looking and shoot very well. I love their handles. I can switch from their longbows to their recurves and back with no problems, Really good performers and GN stands behind everything they make. They’ve been around for a while. Try one. You’ll be glad you did! Bullseye (Standard Disclaimer applies here: I ,in no way, am connected with or work for Great Northern) 😉
