Long cold winter.
Shot a sparse few arrows lately, first since ? dunno when.
I've been working my way through likes & dislikes these last few 5 years.
Been selling off duplicates and extras, stuff I love but paring the pile down to a short list of KEEPER BOWS.
This morning 34* F. no wind, dead still calm, frost on the pond dam, sunny.
I got out the bag target and shot a bunch.
I started with the longbow, Hummingbird Alpha Male, 51#, 64".....shot woodies....it shot well enough.....just not sure of status on this bow.....need to shoot it more.
I was set up at 15 yards.
I then shot the SKy longbow limbs on the Quinn Stallion warf Sam did for me, it's 19 inches, makes a 64" bow with the Sky 53# longs.. and it honks Lightspeed 500s out there. Yikes. KEEPER BOW. Quiet & smooth, FAST. Yeh those are the limbs that were on the blanket last night. BIG mistake, that. see where I said KEEPER bow......it shoots NICE SAM.
I shot the Ben Pearson Equalizer warf, 17" with Sky Jack 38# longs, and it shot well, it always does, that is a real nice warf. Bowbender Mike does great work too.
Pearson also gets KEEPER BOW status.
I drug out the old scurvey bronze Dalaa, it wears a cool set of David's camo WW Everest Pro 38# shorts, they scale 46# on this riser, and these are the ONLY set of shorts I've had that I don't get into stack with.
The 3 arrows almost touching are absolutely the first 3 I shot with the DAS today, and I just had to show the pic. Yeh I missed the spot, but group is ok for me.
2nd arrow made that noise we all dread....haha. KEEPER BOW.
See also the camo rig by the arrow bucket.....SKy Hunter or RAMBO riser, factory Hoyt camo, with matching limbs that seem more like TD-3 limbs than the typical Hunter Supreme limbs.....but Earl & Ann did put out some funny/odd combos sometimes for customers. KEEPER BOW, waiting patiently for one of Rick Barbee's excellent strings for it. Yeh it was one of those I had on the blanket a few times, sold it once, bought it back, and I've decided it stays here.
I have a couple of other sets of recurve limbs I will probably keep, as well.
I want to shoot a 1 piece longbow, I keep trying them but you guys with these metal riser takedowns have ruined me, I fear.
