View Full Version : My first Warfer

OK I finally got to the archery shop to use there chronograph. Got my warfer a few weeks back and all I can say is WOW. I finished my league with it and took first place. I found and sent Bob an old Bear Black bear riser and my short Win&Win Synergy limbs. These limbs are marked at 44 or 46# and shoot really nice. I had the full monty done including the weighted limb pocket. I’m using a short doinker stabilizer for further noise and vibration reduction a ARE rest and cobra plunger. When shot this bow does nothing. No jump, no buzz, no hand shock….completely dead in hand and zips them right in. The bow came out at about 52# at my 28” draw and consistently shot 195fps with a 425gr vapor 3000 arrow. Only one guy on my league mustered up the nerve to shoot it. He is a bowyer and a fine shooter whom I was lucky to beat. He was very impressed.

Just sent Bob another riser for conversion today, this time a Hoyt spectra riser. If you get a chance to try one of these do it. As a friend of mine used to say “It’s a bad dude”. You could spend more, but I don't think you'd get a better shooting bow.

I emailed the mod telling him mine will be my primary hunting bows.

Imagine having the audacity to hunt with a good shooting bow.

Those Bear risers are really nice, cept mines a jennings black lightning. You will be very hard pressed to find a "hunting" setup as fine as these things for any price.
Sorry that your thread got pulled on the tradbangers. Seems efficient equipment that threatens the lively hood of their "custom bowyers" is not permissable. But it could be worse. Keep it up and next thing you know some goofball from new york will be sendin ya PM's about your momma. LMAO.

Looks like you can't use evil words like warfer, carbon's, crono's, arrow speeds, etc. over there, might corrupt the traditional thinkers over to the dark side of trad bows and such, pitty, thought this was all about archery....warf

What is the length of that bow?

Right around 62" and I set my brace at 8 1/4". When you put it up next to my gamemaster it is nearly identical in OAL and limb angle with the exception of the bear having a little more deflex. It's close enough to make you think Hoyt had one on there wall when they cooked up the GM. ;)

Man,
I can't believe they did that!! :mad: That really pisses me off to hear things like that! I'd be willing to bet that the majority of their readers have no idea they are being fed such censored swill. If I was smart enough to do it, I'd hack their website and send everyone a PM and expose the SOBs. I'm serious! These people are going to be the ruin of archery! :cussing:

I pm'd the mod about its closing. He reopened it - I posted about my warf's with a hunting referenence. Ended up moved to the shooters forum for some reason.

Are you guys still hacking on that site? Why don't you just grow up. They are about trad bowhunting, not trad archery. Its pretty simple why your thread got moved to a different forum. Can you not comprehend forum titles?

Someone posts they recieved a new bow and are exited. Describes its proformance. I add I have 2 similar and plan to take them hunting. Sounds like dozens of other threads from the past. Difference is this one gets closed - then moved. I am not "hacking" or being critical - just wondering why?

If you would like to explain it to me and do not wish to register and id yourself, then email me. But if you don't, that is fine - because I really don't care all that much.

Headshaker,

If you read about these "warf" bows, you will see that what is being done is taking typical target archery parts and turning them into highly effective hunting equipment. Smooth, fast, accurate and quiet. I was just a little surprised that this would not qualify to be in the trad hunting forum. I could have missed something and again, feel free to explain it to me. I honestly do not wish to rock the bow - but to do so I need to understand what a wave is.

Steve just feel lucky you did not get 2 dozen emails telling you how untraditional you are. :) You made 2 mistakes in your post. You mentioned a metal riser and your arrow was not heavy enough. :) Try making a comment about one of the venders bows being slow or having handshock sometime. ;) Even if it is your bow you would think that you killed somebody by the crap mail you would get.It is a good place if you only ask the right questons and make sure you pat the elite on the back often. It is good there are more open minded places for those of us that like it all. :2cents:

Actually the discusion is going pretty good. I think part of the problem is lack of knowing what the bow is what it can be. From what I can see, most that shoot one soon see what a great hunting bow it can be.

Scott,
Nice HUNTING recurve ya got there. Looks like mine also.

Hmmm... not Trad Bowhunting??
Wonder what that term is supposed to mean anyways?? I give up... :sbrug:

Head Shaker, I've been hunting with recurves for 20 years and the Warf bow is no different (in basic operation) than using a wooden recurve... it has no wheels and ya still have to hit what you're aiming at... what's the difference????

Funny I always though bowhunting was archery? :sbrug: Learn something new every day.

Well it is nice that they have a shooter forum now and moved the post instead of just axing it. I found it after your post and am glad they now have a place for talking about something that does not have to relate directly to hunting.

Scooter, it goes like this-

Even though both are shot with archery equiptment. Bowhunting can be used to veil just how much you really suck.

As long as you look good at the local shoots, muster up good pictures and hunt alone noone is the wiser.

Whereas in target archery if you suck there arent many excuses because what you did last week, or yesterday doesnt mean diddley.

BTW. clean up your PM files- there full and I cant respond to your pm's.
