What 3-D bow this spring?
« on: March 17, 2014, 06:00:00 PM »
Looks like I will be totting the Thunderhorn this season on the course. Went out to shoot it some a while ago. Man she's a sweetheart. It's about 3 pounds lighter than my hunting rigs and I am able to shoot it all day. If you shoot a different bow than you normally hunt with what is it and why? And oh yeah I need to thank you again Tim!

That's one fine looking bow Tom.

If I was going to designate a bow for 3-D shooting I would use my Bear Warfed to DAS Black Bear riser with Dryad Epic Recurve limbs.

It's longer than my hunting bows and about 48 lbs. at my draw length. Super smooth and a pleasure to shoot.

I know that my scores suffer but I cycle through all of my bows!!!! I just can't help myself, and rarely shoot the same bow 2 shoots in a row    :D    
It seems to add to the fun and challenge for me.

Mine will have to be the Morningstar. 50# @ 28" and a smooth shooter. Not too bad on the eye either. I can shoot 10's with this one while others in the group are lusting after it and not focused.    :bigsmyl:  

 

The forward handle gets me the sight picture I need. Just seems to bring everything into focus for me. JD Berry done good on this one.

Glad to see your still holding "her" in high regards Tom!  That sure is a fine looking T-horn.

I picked up an ilf bow not long ago, a Black Magic with carbon/foam limbs.  I've really enjoyed the adjustability of the bow and plan on giving it a fair shot the next few months.   :thumbsup:

I don't comment on the looks of too many bows. I think their all nice looking for the most part. Once and awhile I see one that really does something for me. When I saw that Thunderhorn, I couldn't stop looking at that riser handle. The shape and checkering ( I guess it's checkering) looks awesome. I bet that feels great in the hand. The feel of a grip is everything on a three piece IMHO. Very nice bow Tom.

Of coarse, last but not least, what can I say I'm a Hill bow shooter, That Morning star looks great Rick.The true beauty of a Hill bow is how they shoot when in the hands of someone who knows how to shoot them!
I wish I had better pics of my Cheetah cause that's what I'll be shooting!

That's a sweet looking bow, TJ!

I hunt and shoot 3D with the same bow, my Sarrels Blueridge longbow.

Nice looking bow TJ. I use my 66" Black Widow for 3-D fun. The reason it does not go into the woods is the bow is to pretty and I don't want it damaged. Same goes with my Griffin. My Centaur is my turkey blind bow,and I had my A&H dipped in Predator Deception camo so it has a tough skin on it to do my hunting battle with. That bow just likes killing stuff. You can just feel it when you pick it up.    :bigsmyl:   rat'

TJ,
That's another fine looking bow brother. You got mighty good tastes for a fine looking bow. Bet it shoots just as good as it looks.

Choices, choices   :bigsmyl:

Of coarse if there're different classes, my one and only recurve "Journeyman" will be in the recurve class.

All of my longbows shoot the same arrows... My Journeyman just shoots 20 fps faster than my longbows, so it is a tad bit harder to jump back and forth with it.

I will likely start out with a longbow, that's where the wind has been taking me lately  :)
