2018 Bows
« on: December 31, 2017, 08:48:00 PM »
Whether a new introductory for 2018, or a new bow for the individual or a used bow which is new to the individual inherently possesses gratifying anticipation.

The many gifted bowyers seem to always inspire us with their ingenuity, craftsmanship, art work and raising the bar in fulfilling our needs, wants and desires.

Hope many find their new joys in 2018 and share your prized acquisition.

Those limbs are full of curl! How do they shoot and are they quiet? Nice photo by the way.

I did notice on Bears web site, a new 50s style 64" offering. It will be interesting to hear feedback on it.

I picked up a used RER XR in bocote and black phenolic. 60" 49#@28".

Intended to replace my 42# 62" XR but somehow I doubt that will work out lol...

Love these bows.

The new design shoots good and is really fast. I chronoed it pound for pound 2 fps faster than my faster bow the Black Douglas HEX6.5 from Border. Vertical and torsional stability is great and allow tight groups. The thing is on that bow limb timing is really perfect with NO post shot buzz nor hand shock. "Dead " after release.for this one
I struggled a little to get it hunting quiet as I draw past 31" but at 7.25" brace height with sticktammer and 2 pairs of wool silencers it is now good enough.

Because I shoot only outside, and all of my bows are 50 years old, it`s just been too cold to shoot outdoors.

- 20-25 Below Zero this morning. At those temperatures, they`d might snap like a Christmas Candy Cane!

 I`m afraid I`m with you.

When it finally warms up enough for me to shoot, it`ll be like shooting a new bow!
