Well Fudd wanted a shooting report. Here we go.

Took the bow out back to day to my practice butts and stood at my 18 yard mark. Look at the bow - stunning. Feel the grip. Good - not perfect. For those of you that are familiar with Bear Rubber mag grips - I am a #2 guy. This grip feels like a #1. The shelf is a little closer to my hand than I like and the grip makes my wrist feel a little uncomfortable.
I have been shooting my classic Kodiaks alot lately due to the great weather we are having. I raise the bow and shot at my target like I have been doing with my other bows. First reaction - Damn that was fast! but the arrow was WAY too high - left right was perfect. Second arrow - same spot, way too high. Then it hits me. This is a fast flite bow with a fast flite string. This arrow is flying. It has way more speed than all the bows I am used to shooting. In my hold I am compensating for a drop thats just not there. Hold lower - 3rd 4th and 5th arrows within 3 inches of each other in the center of the target from 18 yards. This bow is awesome. Fast, quiet,and accurate. It says 48 pounds but it pulls back like 40. I put in on my scale and it is 48 1/2 at 28. Dont think I have ever shot a bow that pulls back this smooth but deliver s an arrow so fast. But - with that being said - fast flite is sort of new to me.
The grip thing is strange. It doesn't exactly feel comfortable but I think it forces my wrist into a position that is better for shooting - does that make any sense?
I love the bow. I think I am going to get back on his list again. I havce never shot my 52"AMO Kodiak Magnums well. This bow is 60" and it's a little tough to shoot aa 60" AMO bow out of my climbing tree stand. I noticed Vintage Works makes a 56 inch and a 58 inch. I am considering ordering one of those in hopes that it shoots as nicely as this one does, and it will be more tree stand friendly.

Thanks for making me aware of Vintage Works. A box will show up at my house next year    :goldtooth:
