Gm2

Who has one?

 

[hflier]

Alright I'll bite. What is a GM2?

 

[LostArra]

Gamemaster 2, Hoyt metal riser recurve

My take; I've shot my buddies...nothing special. An ILF riser with cheap fiberglass/wood limbs is comparable. These bows are all about the limbs...so why not get something with some good options for limbs? FYI, the SF Elite+ limbs for $250 make a cheap riser an incredible bow.

The higher end TT limbs are pretty good too...as good if not better than the DAS

I've had one for about ten years, traded a black widow for it. I couldn't shoot the BW very well but I can shoot this GMII very well. I've heard a ton of folks talk about how bad they are, but I can shoot it better than any custom bow I've ever shot and I don't have to worry about it warping. Just my opinion.

 

[Beendare]

Rereading my comments it does have a bit of a negative implication for these bows- on the contrary, I like them and they are better than many of the custom bows out there today. I do think they compare equally to the lower end ILF stuff- which is good in its own right...but hard to go back to after shooting good carbon/foam limbs

Beendare,

I will agree with you 100% on your last post. I've often thought about upgrading my limbs, but I can use that cash to do more hunts and it shoots fine as it is.

I will put my Borders on the riser I just bought used tonight. The stock limbs are horrible if you draw past 28". I draw about 30-30.5" depending on the riser. I have the TT limb bushing kit for them.

 

[justinspicher]

I am not as grown up as you, I have about a 26.5" draw on my recurve so I can get away with the stock limbs. Make sure give us an update on how it shoots. Which arrows are you planning on shooting?

 

[Brandon Pattison]

I'm ape armed to match my hunched over neandrthal brain. Aftermath 400s, full length with 150 up front, hopefully.

 

[Brandon Pattison]

En route.

 

[Hawker]

Sweet! How does she shoot?

 

[justinspicher]

That's a bad ass riser. I'll have to paint mine now......

 

[Brandon Pattison]

I might camouflage it. I like toys that are pre-modified so I'm not afraid to beat on them, like a shiny Wingmaster. I'll take the beat up rust-pitted one.

The rattle cans are going to get deployed soon. Kryptek Highlander would look nice too.

I thought that I needed a 61" string. Turns out I need a 60" string so I will do that first, then float my shafts and then fletch.

 

[justinspicher]

What limbs do you have on there that would make it a 60" string? It sure looks good though!

 

[Brandon Pattison]

Border HEX4-Wood mediums.

 

[justinspicher]

Nice, what is your draw weight/arrow set up?

 

[Brandon Pattison]

Not sure yet. I think 52-54#.

Easton Aftermath 400s with 150 up front.

 

[justinspicher]

Is that all broadhead or broadhead/insert combo?
