"YEW BETCHA!"
« on: March 23, 2010, 07:54:00 PM »
Awhile back I started a thread on Pacific Yew bows and got some great pics and responses. After talking with Jay St. Charles, (who by the way is a super outstanding guy!), I made my order. Below is "Yew Betcha!", 64" 45# @ 29". This is going to be my special deer bow.

Thanks everyone! I just had to shoot it so, here are the results. It likes the brace height right at 6 3/4". Didn't like 145gr tips so, I put on some 125gr tips and after 3-3 round shots to warm up, I got this grouping at 15yds. AD Trad Lite, 29.5 bop.

Eric, it does have glass.

crookedwoody: it is a very smooth shooting bow and silent to boot. I'm not even going to put silencers on the string as it doesn't need them.

At the risk of starting something (which I hope not too, as it is just my opinion) but, this bow shoots better than my Hill did.   :)

The thought had crossed my mind this very evening, "I wonder if that guy ever got the St. Charles he was talking about a couple of weeks ago"? Got my answer! Damn nice group, pretty bow as they always are  :thumbsup:  Almost dead silent ain't it?

Rusty, the only other bow I'm going to pick up this summer is my PCH to prep for elk. The Yew bow will strictly be for deer as I am hoping to get my first with it! I had others I had hoped to take my first with but, this one will be the one I make it happen with.   :thumbsup:

What is the wait time on his bows?  I had one a couple of years ago that was too much poundage for me and I had to sell it.  I shot it as much as I could and knew I was going to hurt myself if I didn't get rid of it, loved shooting it.

Jarrod, Jay has some bows in stock. You might want to give him a call. He is great guy to deal with and he can answer any questions you have. I know what you mean about shooting it. I had to force myself to put it down last night and the only reason I did that is I started running out of shooting light.   :D
