Anybody use a beater bow?

[Shaun]

I like to emulate Pappa Bear and throw my bow and use it as a staff when I cross streams. Nothing like a solid osage self bow for whacking stuff! I put copper heads on my most recent favorite and hate the fact that they are thin and delicate, they are going to get beat up anyway.

My bows get muddy,bloody and everything else. I once had one fall out the boat and had to chase it down river a few hundred yards to get it back.I don`t skin one up on purpose but I hunt hard and would not own a bow that was to "good" to hunt.RC

Shawn's hunt is hard on everything, I have a couple old Bears and my Bob Lee to carry when the conditions are bad.

let the chips fall were they may.A bow is a tool when my grand kids pull my bow out of the basement an they see all the marks an dings an blood stains.they will be moved when it is in there hands.there minds will go into wander.there own journey may start at that moment.how many times have you picked up some old item an just wandered or put your self in deep thought over who owned it or what that person was like.ect.dreams an thought define people.All from a beat up bow.

How dare you call any bow a beater bow! I hope your bows aren't listening!  :p

I am currently checkering my own grip, each time I fall it puts another dent in it   .

I have a beater bow set up. It's a Martin x-something, camo finish, vanes off a elevated rest, rubber string silencers, etc. I set it up to use in rainy weather and bowfishing. Turns out that I never went bowfishing and I pretty much stopped hunting in real rainy weather. Oh well, it's still here if I need it.
