Pavan, I got a new baby today. Persistence pays off. She's a shooter too.

Back up top.

Thanks EVGB and Ray. I sent her out for a tune up. Now the wait begins again.

Bucknut, what are you having done and by who??

pavan · « **Reply #5047 on:** February 12, 2019, 03:11:01 PM »

Yes, that Sunset looks like needs serious reworking? I am guessing a weight reduction. Which would bring the question, what is more practical, get 5 pounds stronger or make a bow 5 pounds weaker? I have made a number of bows five pounds weaker for folks. sometimes it has made a better shooting bow and other times, i would have left well enough alone if it was for myself. Personally, I can barely feel the difference between a 50 pound to a 60 pound bow when shooting for just one arrow to shooting just a few of hours in an afternoon. i firmly believe that one should be able to draw about 150% of the total weight that they hunt with at least a couple of times. At 67 I can still draw and shoot a 124 pound bow, but its work to control. I currently workout with 110 pounds of pull weight both left and right handed, I hunt with 50 to 60.

Ray, I talked Nate into a reduction/tune up. Pavan, Strength isn't the issue. I have a torn rotator cuff and an unfixed broken elbow that has really hampered my bow weight. (Stupid injuries) I can still shoot 70-75 a few times but it ain't no fun. If I do I won't be able to sleep at night with my elbow thumping. I can handle about 55 comfortably at my draw length for a days worth of shooting, but that's about it. I ain't even old yet is the bad part. But I had a whole lot of stupid at a younger age.

I hear ya. i am a classical guitarist, one day doing warm-up blank draws with a 96 pound bow, my middle finger pulled loose from the socket. Not a good thing for a guitar player. It shut down my right hand bow shooting for years, luckily I am ambidextrous and could switch to left hand. When i pull two bows at once with my workout, I need to be very careful to stay off of that joint, even today, I use a mechanical release sometimes as well for maintaining draw strength with a 70 pound bow.. I can shoot 50 or 60 shots right hand with my super 58 pounder, but then that is it for the week for right hand shooting. I use to shoot all day long with no problems. i can shoot at a stump shooters tempo for longer, but that allows me some time between shots to re-juice the fingers. I also find that the less time I spend at full draw the better for my right hand fingers. Phsiotru fish oil and high grade turmeric and Magicomplex essential oil from Nugenixx are my best friends.

It’s good to see Nate’s doing it. Good luck with the rework. 👍

pavan · « **Reply #5051 on:** February 13, 2019, 02:45:45 PM »

So then the question would be, what can you NOT hunt with say a 52 or 53 pound Sunset Hill longbow and a quiver full of Sure wood arrows with sleek two blade broad heads? Take care of that elbow and enjoy a great bow.

What can you NOT hunt?

Not much

Best

Exactly

bucknut · « **Reply #5054 on:** February 13, 2019, 09:45:48 PM »

That would be perfect PAVAN. Wish I could find one of them. I've got the Surewoods and 2 blades covered. Truth is I'm just wanting one bow that I can get to know as if it were an extension of my arm.

pavan · « **Reply #5055 on:** February 14, 2019, 07:19:19 PM »

The one thing I have withy beat up old body and shooting Hill style according John Schulz, spending no time at full draw does not affect my accuracy in the filed, but it does wonders for not enflaming my worn out bits. I am not sure that you can find a better bow to be called the one bow that you have. I would not be surprised at all if shoots better with the reduction than it did at its full weight. I am certain Nate will give it serious deliberation and make right for you.

bucknut · « **Reply #5056 on:** February 14, 2019, 08:18:14 PM »

Pavan, Nate said that he visited with Schulz again and picked up a few more tips. He said that his current bows are much different now and he will make all the newer modifications on it.

I can't wait!

pavan · « **Reply #5057 on:** February 16, 2019, 07:37:58 PM »

bucknud, looking at your bow I see that it is missing an arrow rest on the one side, maybe Nate can fix that.

bucknut · « **Reply #5058 on:** February 16, 2019, 09:26:42 PM »

Hell Pavan, I can't shoot worth a damn on my good side let alone the other.

pavan · « **Reply #5059 on:** February 17, 2019, 01:55:26 AM »

Remember as John said, "Howard would actually have us count 1-2-3-4-5-shoot." Start out slow do not rush, speed will come in due time.
