New set up for this season
« on: July 19, 2021, 04:15:36 PM »
There was a topic on this years set but I couldn’t find it. So here is my new set up for this season. 41@28 I draw 29” 60” PMA,  cedar arrows ! These were shot from 18 yards. I continue to work on my shooting !!

I may rethink my choice of bow, I like it, it shoots well,  it it is heavy !! The mass of Black Widow riser and a quiver make very heavy feeling to me !! I may have to back to my Holm-Made collection and make a choice!! Your thought on heavy mass weight, please …….

Kind of depends on how far I'd have to pack it.  All day still hunting, I'd opt for something lighter.  Just walking in a half mile or so to sit a stand, I'd opt for the heavier, more stable riser.

Nice looking bow! I have a PCH and I like the heavier mass but that’s just me. Seems like it helps with some stability and my bad habit of dropping my arm after the shot.

Ron, I never liked bows that are very heavy. It seemed it was distracted by how heavy they were instaed of making my shot. Lghtness in the hand was an immediate attraction to the Hill style bows, and I haven't looked back.
