Title: New Guy
Post by: OffTheKnuckle on March 01, 2012, 03:54:00 PM
Just signed up, new to archery.  Currently have two recurves at home and a longbow on the way. Always been into guns but after shooting bows a few times I think guns just took a second place.

I'm Looking for a some new strings, who makes a good one here?  
One for Ben Peason Cougar, old one measures 56 inches, with that one I could get brace height to 8,stopped there because I wanna get new string, change rest and strike plate before I get to far into tuning.
Other for a longbow I'm waiting for.  Any suggestions?  Figured I'd check here before I got one somewhere else.
Thanks for the warm Welcome!

Welcome! All of our string-maker sponsors are top-notch, but I have been getting mine from Oliverstacy (Josh Sowerby). Look in the Sponsors classifieds forum.

Mt. pleasant, not far from gilmer.  Already sold one for bows.  I find it easier, to explain to my wife, to move capitol around instead of actually spending it!

Welcome - to a very nice place.

Strings can be had from several sponsors - have gotten mine from bowman, SBD, and Oliverstacy - all good strings.  Check the sponsors classifieds.

Just contacted Oliverstacy for some strings, thanks for the info.
I can't wait till next season.  I had one deer last year that was in bow range and all I kept thinking was "I wish I had a bow"  I let him walk cause he was a little 3 point, kinda hard to justify 3x9x40 scoped 243 for a shot under your stand.  I know it doesn't matter meats meat but I just let him walk.  
But by the time you take the time to set up you shot with a bow on any deer you've put forth effort to be where they'll be within 20 yards. That's 60 ft. Hundreds of shots, tuning practice for 60ft.
Rifle you've got 600ft easy.  Draw a 60 ft circle and a 600ft circle
near 2800 sq ft, the size of a large house, to near 280000 sq ft, the size of convention center.
That's what I like about archery.  
Having said that got skunked two years in a row rifle hunting, better start scouting now!
