What is your main go-to bow?
« on: June 02, 2009, 01:48:00 PM »
I've seen so many nice bows from members on here, I was just curious as to what some of you use as your favorite/main go-to bow whether it be for hunting, 3d tournements, or just backyard shooting?

I can imagine.  After viewing the bows in some of the posts from guys like Bowdoc and Wade Phillips, I bet those guys have a tough time deciding!  It would almost be like, do I take the Jag today or the Ferrari?

Well mine is sure not that purdy, but she shoots as good.. I use a Mag A with 52# #3 Red tips and a modified 4 arrow quiver.. Typically shoot 2018 or 2020 AO's

For the past couple years my go to has been this 1960 Kodiak 60" 52#
 
I'm starting to get really attached to the "junker" Doc restored for me recently. A 49# 60" 59 Kodiak

Grant - Why do you have all that white stuff under the quiver bracket where it attaches to the bow?

I gotta say my custom B riser and any limbs.
Hey Wade Grants got the leather under his quiver bracket because I keep charing him full price to remove the spike marks.bd

Unfortunately that's true Wade, LOL. That was a temporary pad under the quiver bracket. Its no longer there.    GY

I'm in a quandry as I have 3 in mind for this year:
1962 Kodiak 50#
1968 Super Kodiak 48#
1970s-ish Hoyt Pro Hunter 50#

I shot the Hoyt a lot before my injury but have not shot the other two much so I must wait to recover and then do some testing.  The Hoyt is fast, hits hard and shoots where I look though and I have a lot of confidence in it.

I'm really wanting to use my 59 Kodiak this year, but my Black Widows (can I say that here?) have always been so dependable in past years.
