Just Tuned Up An Old Fedora
« on: May 26, 2011, 08:39:00 PM »
Not that anyone cares but I love setting up and tuneing hunting bows .

Here is the probale 20 year old 560 I picked up off Mike when I dropped off a bow I had lightened a few months ago.  He refinished the bow so it looks like brand new

Like I said I love tuning up bows and setting them up to hunt making them as quiet and fast as I can with perfect arrow flight.

Started out bare fletch tuning and settled on a 340 spine ICS Carbon cut to 28 1/4 at nock point. !00 grain insert and 125 grain head.  Toyal arrow weight 530 grains

Added a Big Jim strap on quiver in dark brown

a set of limb savers

and some fur silencers

tip protector on nottum limb

All speed testing was done with all equipement on bow

3 shots averaged normal release not over drawn draw length somewhere around 26 1/2 to 27 inches about 60 ponuds at my draw

speed ony deviated 1 fps so release was consistant

Here ya go I am real pleased with this setup for a 20 year old bow with all this stuff on it

Shoot, I care! I love hearing this kind of stuff. Looks like a real killing/shooting machine to me. I just did a great setup on a new to me Martin Vision. Cannot tell you how fast she is but, fast enough for me.

Beautiful looking bow, congratulations on it!

It is a beauty of a bow. I for one love the looks of darker risers and veneers. That one has a wonderful blend to it.   :thumbsup:

Mike seems to know how to make a good bow.  A 560 is on my wish list.  By your signature I see you are fond of 'em.

I wish I loved tuning. To me it is such a headache because I over think it so much. I just want to go out and shoot! Guess maybe it's cuz I am still so young...

Well bsoper

I'm in the same boat as you are so what can I blame my not wanting on?  Old age maybe....lol

I almost forgot to mention that when I originally opened this thread I fully expected to see one of my favorite things to wear...lol

Man! I just love hats!!!  

All kinds of hats.

I'm not sure that what I suffer from couldn't be consider a lower level fetish for them...lol

I also love caps and have a bunch of those I wear also but there's not a cap out there that can stand up to a good hat.(IMHO)

God bless, Mudd

PS: I guess you and I will just keep fling arrows and having fun doing it...lol
