in reply to: BamaBows … opinions? #11914
I can tell you that Nate makes a fantastic product for a very very reasonable price. A lifetime warranty is as good as it gets:D!! And he is one heck of a nice guy. I have been shooting my bama hunter non stop for the last few months and I am so confident in this bow that I am taking it to Canada this year for my bear hunt. This will be the first time I’ve felt comfortable enough to take a trad bow on this trip rather than my compound….. In fact I am hanging up my compound for good since picking up one of Nates bows.
in reply to: BirchBark Rover Quiver project! #21986Oh man, wish I would have seen that you guys use those tails last month. I had half a dozen black tails and around 15 black and fox squirrel tails. Gave them to my uncle so he could make something of them:shock:! I have a massive squirrel population at my house so I can shoot you some if ya need.
in reply to: Long draw –HELP #18741I have a 32″ draw, I had a problem finding a bowyer that would build a bow to fit my specs as well. I found one heck of a bowyer, and one heck of a nice guy. Bamabows.com, Nate is more than willing to help you with measuring your draw, and deciding what bow would work best based on your ability and experience shooting traditional bows. AND, his prices are unbelievably well priced! They come with a lifetime warranty… I think that says it all my friend:D. Anyhow, that’s my shameless plug for the day:wink:. Good luck brother!
in reply to: Looking for a good broad head #12815I’ve been looking at tuffheads for some time now. My only questions are: do they come in a screw in type, or are they only glue-on? And also, what type of target can I use with them? I’ve been told I need a thin dense cell target because they cork-screw in the target and removal is near impossible without taking the bh off. Is this true?
in reply to: arrow weight for elk #12103I hear that Troy! I used to have an uncle that lived next the Indiana border. We used to come home with some HUGE deer from that area:D
in reply to: Need help with carbon arrow selection #9708I got my field point test kit from 3rivers. It has 2-100grn 2-125grn 2-145grn 2-175grn 2-200grn 2-250grn. Bare shaft shot beautiful with 250’s! I have some 300’s coming too and some weighted adaptors. I’m gonna try the 300’s and see how they fly. I have to get my chronograph out and see the speed difference. I’m sooooooo relieved that the added weight helped the flight. No more tail-high!
in reply to: Need help with carbon arrow selection #8136So, it appears I didn’t have my nocking point set just right. This morning I went out to continue my tuning mission. This time it was on my GT trads, I found that they were all tail high-right. I tried adjusting my nocking point down to 1/8″ above center and still they were tail high! What can I do to fix this? I want to adjust my nocking point before I mess with point weight.
in reply to: Need help with carbon arrow selection #8021This is the thing I love about this forum! While on the other site that I sometimes post on, I asked the same questions. All I got for a response was ” why worry about bare shaft tuning?” ” that’s what you have fletching for.”… Needless to say, I didn’t continue to post on this topic:shock:.
This may be off topic,however, I have to say that you are the most knowledgable group of people I have ever come across. Out of the dozens of archery forums and blogs and threads, this one stands out!
in reply to: Need help with carbon arrow selection #64028Well, this may sound like an ignorant question.. What is efoc? I’m still a newbie with this stuff so I don’t know all the lingo:D I have a program that I use called the stu miller spine calculator, to see what setup will give me what %foc. But I haven’t seen anything about efoc. The program figured that, in order to get 23% foc I would be shooting roughly a 650grn arrow. I am aiming for a straight arrow flight(or close as I can get) with bare shaft. Is something like that even possible? Or necessary? Just a thought, let me know what you think.
in reply to: Arrow Speed #63817Phantom:
Be careful with that brother. Personally, I don’t take council on a subject that important unless I’m face to face with ’em. That way, I know who to punch if it turns out to be bad information:)just kidding! But do be careful, hate to see someone’s pride and joy die:cry:
in reply to: Need help with carbon arrow selection #63801Yeah I am not going to tune them at the same time. I was just curious what one would work better for me so I got a doz of both. I am thinking of trying some of the ultra lights from GT as well. I heard it’s better to use a lighter, stiffer shaft because you can achieve high foc without going really heavy. I’m not too worried about it as long I don’t have a giant arch at 20 yards.
in reply to: Need help with carbon arrow selection #63647So, I have a dozen GT traditionals(7595) and a dozen carbon express heritage 250’s. I have the inserts that came in them, not sure of the weight of them. I tried some 125 gr field points on them to bare shaft tune. They all stuck in the target level, so it seems I have the nocking point correct, however they all stuck in with the nock pointing to the right. Does this mean they are too stiff? This would mean I have to add point weight, correct?
in reply to: Need help with carbon arrow selection #60059Well, here’s the deal. I’ve been told that in order to have high foc I will most likely need to have a good bit of weight on the front end. Most people that I talk to say that the weight I would need to get foc would be over kill for white tail. So I guess my question is.. Is a really heavy arrow like that need if I’m only going to be going for white tail, and maybe the occasional black bear? Sorry I didn’t put this in my post yesterday. I was falling asleep at my computer! So I might have left out some crucial Info:)
in reply to: My newest set of woods #61270Yes, I am 100% confident I will love it! Sorry to cowboy your post limblover. Again, brilliant job!
