First Impressions of Buffalo
« on: March 07, 2011, 09:17:00 PM »
Hi I have been shooting a Fedora 560 lately and a Hoyt Tiburon

The bow shop called and my Buffalo came in .  Went and picked it up and set it up.  Very slick the way it goes together and really liked that I could drop the weight to get used to it.  

Shooting a 600 grain arrow very quiet but what would you expect with that weight arrow and Limb Savers

Very smooth and fairly quick to the eye have not chronagraphed yet..  not as quick as the little 560 but hits where your looking.  All and all very impressed

I was looking for a bow to do some rough and tumble deer drives and I have found it I believe .  That is what I bought the Tiburon for and althought I liked it I prefer the adjustability of the Buffalo and it seems to shoot better for me.

I hear alot of people complaining that there is no plunger button but i think Hoyt and Fred where going after the shoot off the self instinctive shooter here and for that they have succeded in my opinion

1st impression - the first three arrows I shot out of a Buffalo were at 20 yards. All three were right on the mark. Possibly a 3" group. That is good for me.

Yes it i I am waiting for the taxidermy man to call me and tell me its finished

Last year I went Buffalo hunting with Famous Bowie Knife maker Bill Bagwell and I shot this Bull with one of Bill's many Sharps and ended up buying the rifle from Bill

At the time Bill wa working on a Black powder load for I believe Black Dog

 


Thanks everyone
