2 bows - same bowyer - exact same specs?
« on: March 19, 2010, 11:43:00 AM »
I've got an identical (specs) bow coming from my preferred bowyer.........."soon".  My turkey season starts April (10th?).  I've promised a friend I would send him my current bow to shoot for a while (he's interested in possibly ordering one).

2 bows - same bowyer - same specs.  Is there any chance they're not gonna like the exact same arrow?  Seems like a dumb question, but that's never stopped me from asking....lol.  

I have a fresh, uncut, dozen arrows "just in case".  But, I'm hoping not to have to break them out.

Never been in this position.  Likely never will be, again (I think I've purchased my last bow).

Thanks.

I have four bows 57@28. Two are Pronghorn longbows one a Pronghorn Ferret recurve and one Palmer recurve. I can shoot the same arrow out of all of them with good bare shaft results. I think that you should be ok.

I would let the friend shoot the new bow and stay with my trusty one for the hunt. BH, silencers etc all are fine tuned already

Just a thought

LOL...Terry...(others).

I've been shooting this same bow for a year, now (almost).  I honestly don't even look at other bows anymore.  I'm that satisfied (and it's why I ordered the one I did).

Hey T....I'm 45.  I'm willing to make a 15yr bet with ya!...lol

$100 if I switch in 15yrs.  Proceeds to the kids!

(ALL in fun, guys....thanks for your responses)

Yep as all have said, my bows are all in a 4 lb range and I shoot the same arrow out of all.

I'm with Terry on this one. I'll take the $100 bet, but since I am 57, don't count on collecting any money 15 years from now unless you can find me while I am still alive in some nursing home.   :biglaugh:

So what is this amazing bow, anyway? I am sure the new one will shoot the same arrows as your current bow.

This will be what the new one looks like (with elk antler tips).

My current bow has the exact same specs.....just different woods (veneers).

Oh, so that is the bow that used the last of the Schafer green camo along with the bow built for Kevin Osworth!! Lucky guy! That will be a neat bow, for sure.

I have two bows of the same model same weight and was able to shoot the same arrow. On the other hand variables in slight design changes between the two could cause suttle arrow flight differences
