Super curves

[roosiebull]

Why have super curves not gained traction in the hunting space? They seem like the perfect tool for the job on paper.

The only couple reasons I can assume is cost and forgiveness. I shot some Morrison max 6’s for awhile and they were awesome to shoot, but ended up selling them because they were very fickle for me…. Is that the reason people don’t shoot them? Because they are hard to shoot well?

If they were as forgiving as a standard recurve, it seems like a 45# super would be a great hunting bow, but basically nobody shoots them

Good question.

I'm not an expert on them but I do own a set of Borders. I love the speed but I don't like carrying around those big hook limbs.

I know a couple guys that are world class archers who shot them for awhile...one guy still does. For guys like that they do seem to be a little bit less consistent/ repeatable. The one guy who still shoots them is hooked on the speed- they are noticably faster.

I had some Morrisons but couldn't get the quiet...and they had a weird vibration after the shot.....I think I tried to tell you that before you bought yours. Mine were one of the first iterations and maybe they have solved that- I dunno.

The Borders are quieter...but not almost silent like my others....and they have a little bit of that after shot vibration but not much and not enough to bother me. I need to play with mine some more.....
