Well... I've been listening to the push podcast and had to give stringwalking a try. All I can say is wow! Being able to sight down the arrow. Substantially improved my shooting at 20 yards. I'm very happy with it and will probably continue. Don't like how loud the bow is, but it's just for...

Some of my club members and fellow archers initial impressions on the draw feel of the Hex 8H. I've started to record the first time people draw back (if they are within recommended draw length spec of course ;) ) the bow just because its funny seeing peoples reactions when they hit the back end...

For those that do not know who John Demmer is I'll give you a brief introduction John is at the top of the heap of current barebow archers and quite possible the greatest barebow archer walking the planet ....... plus he is a really good guy :) John and his lovely wife Tara stopped in to visit...

Okay guys this is a long one :) I did this video to showcase a set of R&D Limbs and to answer some set up questions on the Border Covert Hunters Over the years since the introduction of the CH I have received numerous phone calls and messages looking for set up tips etc In this video I have...

I've owned several D-Shape (when strung) Longbows and even shot a few that weren't mine and being D-Longbows?...they were all sweet shooting and quiet as one might expect of such but?...after the pink cloud of newness dissipated?...the honeymoon was over and despite the drop dead beauty of a few...

I'll be testing this out tomorrow. The new WFX from CD archery. First impressions are very well constructed, quality paint and design. Shot reaction much improved over the original WF I had, balance on the shot is very good. Set tiller and center shot. Shot it a bit in my shop, tomorrow...

My Hex-7H Medium in 30# from a fellow member just arrived this week. Given that it's not often low poundage Hex limbs turn up on the secondary market, I jumped at the chance. I wanted to share my experiences as a first time Hex user and also someone who's are "interested amateur" at best in...

Well I finally convinced Dewayne and Calvin that my shooting one of their risers would not negatively effect the sales due to the lower scores I shoot, and I received this beauty today. Some of you might have seen the chrome one Dewayne posted on FB recently, well it is at its new home. Have...

Well, I had a lesson with my coach today so for about 90 minutes I was using my "old" rig: Best Zenit BB, Border Hex6 W @ 30# with 1915s and 70 grain tips - 8.5" bh, Beiter plunger and ZT rest. Afterwards, I had 30 minutes during which I slapped the exact same setup (minus the ZT rest) onto...

Got home today to find a W&W box sitting at my doorstep. I was impressed with how light the box was, knowing there was a complete bow inside. Opening the box, I found a nice black/camo zippered case, much like that of the Hoyt Buffalo case except it had W&W logo on it. The white thing at the...

Shooting Impressions of Hex 6/Morrison Riser (video) I promised I'd make a video of this bow and I just finely got around to it I am so impressed with this setup The bow is very smooth and fast So smooth on the back end I kinda over daw and then settle into my anchor. I draw around my jaw...

Just got my 19" Morrison Phoenix ILF riser on Friday. Haven't had too much time to play with it over the weekend, and since the hurricane is rolling in tonight it looks like it'll be a little while longer before I can really have fun with it. Anyway, pics: First impressions...

Dryad Epic [shorts] limbs marked 62#-19" #@my draw 57+-#? Excel Riser 21" shot with release 490gn @ 188fps 600gn @ 173fps 745gn @ 160fps Untuned 7" brace height. By FAR the smoothest limbs [and the prettiest] I have tried. 'Am deaf but they appear to be very quiet too;-] Cannot wait...

I had the chance to shoot a pinnacle 2 last night. I wasn't that impressed with the look of the riser. However, as soon as I picked it up my initial feelings changed. I really liked the grip. It fit my hand well and seemed to be very repeatable. The bow I tried pulled at 34#. I would have liked...

Well the Stolid Bull arrived today while I was busy testing on deer shoulders... haha, so not had the chance to shoot it yet, but here are my first impressions and some pics... The riser is MASSIVE... ina totally teutonic over the top cartoon kind of a way.. it even makes the Greenhorn look...

I Have tonight shot the Greenhorn Sirius for the first time. I set it up with the same brace of 8.5 inches that I used with the Nilo and the Hex4 mediums, same negative tiller (1/4") and my usual centre shot... First few arrows showed left hits, adjusted centreshot after seeing that it was a...

Dalaa arrived today, very late as UPS often runs late here. I checked everything out, tiller, etc., seems right (after putting my string on). Tied a nock on at 3/8's and managed to shoot a few before dark. Of course, the string is stretching in, etc., but I was pleased. Seems the center shot...

Well did not really give the factory limbs a chance! I took them off and stuck on a pair of Sab flute carbons (meds) which seem to draw around around 47-48 at my draw length. Quiet!!!!!!! was my forst impression. Course this Bow came from a friend along with the limbs from another friend. The...

Well my Harrier Royale (http://www.tradtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19887 )finally arrived from Border after the new year... and of course its been minus twenty and windy every day and not much fun to be out..... but today I had to shoot :) Minus 19 and a slight breeze :D Got the bow...

I got my DAS Master bow yesterday and just got back from some initial setup and shooting. It's too cold for any extended shooting but I shot enough to get first impressions and report on them. Fit and Finish. In this, the DAS is as good as it comes. The lines are great and the finish work is...
