Back to stringfollow
« on: September 13, 2016, 07:19:00 PM »
I am going to use my Two Tracks Echo this season after a one year layoff. I can honestly say that for me it is The Bow. I had forgotten how pleasant a strong follow is. No wonder they have the following they do.

I've got one coming from McBroom. Hope to put it to good use this fall/winter. Sounds like a "user friendly" kind of bow...

Yep...they are all I shoot.  I just received an Echo from Chuck a few weeks ago and it is a shooter.  It will definitely see the woods this year!

Bill. I was fortunate to be the first hunter to get a confirmed kill with the Echo when Chuck came  with it. You will love yours, believe me.

I have two NM Sheltons and really like the string follow. I haven't put blood on the arrow with them yet, but I sure like the way they shoot.

It really is difficult for me to describe what exactly it is about a string follow that endears me to them. My Echo just feels "soft" in my hand at the shot yet still delivers the arrow with authority. This bow sends the shaft "right where I'm looking" as it should be.

Geez, here I am working hard to stay ready for an upcoming moose hunt with my backset Talon Classic, and you folks have got me yearning for the string follow bow I inherited from my Dad which I have put on the rack for the summer. It draws only 48# and is thus insufficient for the task at hand, but it has the virtues mentioned here!

Unless there are bow weight restrictions where you are moose hunting, the 48# bow is quite adequate for the task at hand...
Pretty bow btw

And by the way, I love a good string Follow... I own a JD Berry Misty Dawn and a couple of Heritages... string follows and great bows.

My son was gracious enough and loving enough to get me an Eagle wing Frontier SF bow two Christmass' ago . It is by far the best handling and most accurate bow I own.  I have numerous Custom bows and I shoot them regularly, AND love them all for their differning qualities .  BUT  when I go out to hunt I grab the Frontier.  Love the String Follow.

Just curious...
Why would you feel that 48# at your draw would be insufficient?  I'm not being critical....just don't understand.      :archer:

New Hampshire requires a minimum of 50# at 28" for moose (used to be 60, actually). And I know there are folks who hunt moose with sub-50 bows. I'm not one of them, regardless of the rule.

I need to point out that the bow in my picture above is not the Talon Classic (which is a beauty in its own right.) The bow is actually the one made for my dad the year before he joined the Navy and went off to fight ... the Empire of Japan.   :D  

Yes, it is shot regularly. For the last eight years now.
