Well Fudd wanted a shooting report. Here we go.
Took the bow out back to day to my practice butts and stood at my 18 yard mark. Look at the bow - stunning. Feel the grip. Good - not perfect. For those of you that are familiar with Bear Rubber mag grips - I am a #2 guy. This grip feels like a #1. The shelf is a little closer to my hand than I like and the grip makes my wrist feel a little uncomfortable. I have been shooting my classic Kodiaks alot lately due to the great weather we are having. I raise the bow and shot at my target like I have been doing with my other bows. First reaction - Damn that was fast! but the arrow was WAY too high - left right was perfect. Second arrow - same spot, way too high. Then it hits me. This is a fast flite bow with a fast flite string. This arrow is flying. It has way more speed than all the bows I am used to shooting. In my hold I am compensating for a drop thats just not there. Hold lower - 3rd 4th and 5th arrows within 3 inches of each other in the center of the target from 18 yards. This bow is awesome. Fast, quiet,and accurate. It says 48 pounds but it pulls back like 40. I put in on my scale and it is 48 1/2 at 28. Dont think I have ever shot a bow that pulls back this smooth but deliver s an arrow so fast. But - with that being said - fast flite is sort of new to me. The grip thing is strange. It doesn't exactly feel comfortable but I think it forces my wrist into a position that is better for shooting - does that make any sense? I love the bow. I think I am going to get back on his list again. I havce never shot my 52"AMO Kodiak Magnums well. This bow is 60" and it's a little tough to shoot aa 60" AMO bow out of my climbing tree stand. I noticed Vintage Works makes a 56 inch and a 58 inch. I am considering ordering one of those in hopes that it shoots as nicely as this one does, and it will be more tree stand friendly.
