I’m shooting 300 spine GT Black Labels, mostly because that’s the arrow I already used with my V3 31. It flies great out to 60, so I didn’t see a need to change.
That's awesome! I keep trying to find one of those cases for mine. There's one on ebay, but the guy wants $120 plus shipping for it. I've offered him $100 shipped and he won't take it. Truth be told, if I'd bought my Switchback XT back in 2006, I probably wouldn't have my V3 31. That'd probably...
Managed to break in my "nostalgia" bow on a pretty good Georgia Mountain buck yesterday. Thank you Lord for the opportunity!
10yd shot with a 100gr Muzzy 3 blade. He was head down quartering hard to. Broadhead went through the neck, cut the top of the heart, through a lung, and lodged in the...
Got my stabilizer in this week: a 6” Limbsaver Modular. I saw a few in some of the older pics I looked up of SBXT’s. Spent a few hours re-confirming pins 20-60. What a great shooting bow! I also got 6 arrows re-fletched all white for hunting with this. All 6 hit inside a 4” circle with a 100gr 3...
I switched to Swhacker 261's as my primary head last year. Before that I killed several with the Exodus and lost 2 with a Slick Trick. I never had blood problems with the Exodus, but did have a perfectly hit buck run 125yds. I get it, stuff happens, not knocking the head, but I've come to...
While we absolutely should do what we can to ensure our equipment is setup properly to humanely put down an animal, I believe there comes a point of diminishing returns and tail chasing. For me if my fixed blade broadheads, expandable broadheads, and fieldpoints are grouping well at 40yds, I'm...
I believe bow design peaked in the last 5 or so years. Really maybe even 7 or 8 years ago. It's little tweaks at this point. Also, it seems increasingly like the big boys like Mathews and Hoyt are continuing to develop hunting/target crossover type bows. I guess that's what the market is...
FedEx delivered the bow last night and I took it up to my local shop this morning. The strings and cables seemed to be homemade and were out of spec, so she got a new set of Vaportrails. They RE-installed and properly timed the QAD LD rest that came on the bow and I installed the Spot Hogg 5 pin...
Well I finally found a 29/70 SBXT on Ebay last week and it'll be here Friday. Also picked up a Spot Hogg Real Deal off the 'bay that should be here Thursday. Bow is coming with a QAD rest on it, and I picked up one of the mini Axion stabs with the Harmonic Dampers. Excited to see how this thing...
I've got a Mathews V3 31. I bought it new in Jan 2021 just after it came out and it's outfitted with a Spot Hogg Fast Eddie 2 pin, QAD HDX rest, 8" Flatline Stab, and HD Web Quiver. I really dig it!
BUT
I got into bowhunting in 2006 and bought my first bow in 2007, a leftover Archery Resarch...
