I am thinking of getting either a BW PSA 62 inches and 35-45#...Or a really long light poundage longbow..To me the 3d courses around here is what I'm interested in winning... I've been shooting them for years and I have never even placed??? I'm tired and want to put afew trophies on the wall and be able to start shooting some nice tight groups I hear everyone else talk about.. and maybe just maybe hunt with the rig too??? Some one please help and stop fighting over Nfaa? ucla? Pms? UPS? YMCA??
Sorry about taking part in the derailing. Back on point...
A 40-45-pound PSA would be not only a great 3D bow, but an excellent choice for hunting whitetails as well. Bows in that range (with Dacron strings no less) were once standard fare for whitetail hunters. Biologically, deer haven't changed.
Indoor paper and field archery have done a lot to increase my accuracy in the hunting woods, but 3D probably made the most difference -- the proverbial icing on the cake. Personally, I've never known a bowhunter who was handicapped by being a
better archer, but I've known a lot who could have used a little more range time.
If your goal is to be a better 3D shooter in such a way as to increase your hunting accuracy, there are a lot of ways to go about doing that. I think you're at the same point I was several years ago. If you'd like, feel free to shoot me a PM and I'd be happy help, either over the internet or my phone.
