Just wondering if a lot of you use the same bow for hunting and target/3D, or have different bows for each? If different, please share some of your bows for 3D, I'm curious to know what you are using. :archer2:
-
Always the same. I have enough trouble shooting well without wondering about which trajectory bow I'm carrying.
-
Same for me. I believe in getting as many shots thru my bow as possible to aleviate all guessing when hunting.
-
I tend to take different ones throughout the year but a month or two before the season starts I will decide on one and stick with it.
-
Everything the same. Bow,arrows, even quiver.
-
I use a bunch of different bows, but the arrow weight and bow weight stay real close or the same. Recurves and longbows!

i shoot my hunting setup after all the major events are over.i shoot a 70 in.win win inno carbon with win win winex limbs,beiter button and a spigarelli zero tolerance rest and a 10 degree offset stabilizer and pull 42 lbs..for hunting i use a black widow pma2 with a 56 lb.pull.i stringwalk in competition and grip it and rip it for hunting.i shoot 100 arrows a day out of my win win and about 50 out of the Widow.i havent seen any adverse affect from shooting both ways,but I do shoot alot.After Augest I try and shoot the widow as much as possible....

Got too many to just play with one.

Always the same. Shooting the bow I hunt with is #1 Priority.
I do shoot a lot of other people's bows during the year though.
-
Although I don't shoot at 3D events, if I did, I would use my two bows I bowhunt with.
-
I shoot my same 45 lb Bear Super Kodiak for both. This year I shot relatively lightweight arrows for 3D (GT1535's with 125 grn pts, total 390 grns) for a fast flat shot. I hunted with cedars which with 170 grn 2-blade broadheads averaged 520 grns. Next year I might try to split the difference with one set of GT3555's and brass inserts up front to beef up the 125's.
-
3-D is practice for hunting. Same set-up. 50# selfbow, 550 gr cedar arrows, 200 gr up front.
-
Same everything incl point weight.

-
same everything
-
I'm trying my darndest to stick with one bow! (DAS Master Hunter) :banghead:
I do tend to shoot lighter arrows for 3D, up 'till about a month before deer season starts.
-
same same
-
Same but use lighter arrows for 3D
-
Same bow for both.
-
Thanks for all the responses. This is the best trad site! :wavey:
-
Everything the same, I just swith from field tip to braoadheads....
-
I may change bows from 3D to 3D, but all of them are set ups for hunting.
-
I use the same.
-
I tend to shoot different bows but the arrows are the same. One thing I do not waver on is that all my bows shoot pretty much the same. If I get a bow and it shoots different then my current stable...down the road it goes :wavey: . The draw weigh on all my bows are pretty close also.

I use the same bow for both, 3D is the only time I get to practice in hunting type shots.
-
I normally shoot what ever bow I am hunting with in 3d. That said I have 8 that I hunt with.

Possibly not the best example here.
Shoot different bows during the 3D season. All bows are set-up where I maintain the same site window. I thoroughly enjoy the experiences of different bow types. My focus though is too attempt to always shoot with solid optimum shot execution. The differences from a competency aspect is that the end results are not too far apart. The main difference in shooting competancy is that some bows personally require a little more strict adherance to form. These bows tend to make my form even stronger. I may tend to get a little lax and end up costing me when I continually shoot a bow that seems to shoot itself. Still, the mental aspect, is by far the ruler in this game.
A few weeks before season, I will settle down to one set-up or possibly two. Shooting 6 to 7 days week year around has afforded me the luxary of intimately knowing my bows. My 1st shot must be on the mark when switching.
Since this is such an accentuated mental control effort, I am far from immune from making a faux paux at the moment of truth. Opening mouth and inserting foot is still a repeated error. When it happens again, I am too driven by the different wonderful experiences to adjust.
What confidence dictates is my choice.
-
You bet, same bow for hunting and 3-D.
Not sure why you'd even shoot 3-D otherwise. :dunno:
-
All my bows are around the same draw weight,only difference in arrows is a field tip the same weight as my broadheads.
-
Everything the same
