Thanks for the tip on the bow strings.

Think unconsciously you are shooting high to avoid hitting that very narrow bottom window opening. I've done that before so had to reconfigure how I opened the window.

Fireballs were state-of-the-art target bows back in the day, superb bows.

All that you have sport both side sight bar extension brackets, stabilizer bushings, and "Berger" pressure buttons.  The middle bow looks like it also has a front Reynolds 6-Gold sight extension.  The bow on the right has a pair of vibration damper weights.

What are all their the listed bow lengths and draw weights?

Great and beautiful nostalgic bows in what appear to be mint condition!

I'd only use polyester bowstrings (B55) with these glass/wood bows, wouldn't trust them with the lower stretch HMPE bowstring fiber.

New PCHXC 49# out in East Tx yesterday PM. Shot four. This was #1. Heavy arrows and Grizzlystik Silverflame broadheads. Shooting through the little side window 25yds I tried to put it between the shoulders as he faced me feeding, so top down to lungs or liver etc, and hit a bit further back than I wanted, maybe broadhead wasn't sharp enough......

Four different sounders this big came in after 6pm. So many hogs! There was a nice boar off to the left I couldn't see due to the blind opening. You'll notice it turns and looks, and goes back to business, nice cutters and a razorback. Going back on the 7th. Wish I saw him. Also saw several nice boars cruising by but wind was swirling....

I felt like the arrows were flying HIGH each shot, but I was sitting while shooting and that's 10 yards further than what I am shooting daily to practice but would that mean a DROPPING arrow not a RISING arrow? Maybe that's the broadhead?

Arrow Total Weight (grains). 606.6
Arrow Specific Weight (GPP) 11.7
Front of Center (FOC) % 16.5
Arrow Speed (ft/sec) 170.3
