Very Cool Fedora 560
« on: September 28, 2011, 08:08:00 PM »
I have always been a recurve shooter and loved them above all other bows

I live near Mike Fedora and have a lot of his bows.  About 15 years ago Mike gat ahold of me and said he wanted me to take a look at a bow

The riser was ebony with some myrtle inlays and the limbs
Where bamboo

I brought it home and never shot it .  I put it on the rack and it just sat there.
 


I changed my shooting style since back then and my draw has gotten longer so at my draw this bow is pulling about 67 to 69 pounds

The other day I was dusting off my bow rack and I pulled it out and set it up


Wow is all I can say this thing is a monster .  With a 530 grain arrow it is averaging 209 fps and hits like a ton of bricks

This year was a big one for bows for me I got a Hoyt Buffalo and 2 Silvertips

I have narrowed it down to what bow I will use this year and I decided on my old tiger maple 560 that pulls about 57 at my draw but I am just thrilled that I finally got around to setting this ebony and bamboo bow up and if I ever need a heavy bow for a hunt I know I got a good one

Thanks guys

Joe call Mike and tell him I said to hurry up  :)

I have a lot of great bows but I always seem to go back to one of my Fedoras they really do have great cast and even thou in my opinion they pull a bit stiff for there weight they spit an arrow like a dart

What did u order again Joe

Nice bow !  I love my takedown Fedora HP recurve; have 3 sets of limbs for it now so I am set for all circumstances.  Have never had a more consistent grip, and they do spit the heavy arrows out with authority !  Will have to chrony it one of these days.
