What is your favorite brand of bow?

Somehow I missed this thread after August. Never caught the new bow or any of the rest of it until today.

The Hoyt looks good, did you end up getting it tuned or did that go on the back burner? Just curious what your impressions are if you did get it shooting. Gotta take care of yourself first.

I haven’t shot mine yet. Season opens Friday. Stands are set, complete with bow ropes, bow holders, quiver mounts (We run Kwickee Quivers and just pull them off the bow in the stand) and harness tie ins. I’ll have a self imposed 25 yard limit, two of the stands don’t offer shots any longer than that anyway. As long as the bow is up to snuff shooting generally is like riding a bike, except for the range estimation. Close is good, closer is better. If the opportunity isn’t perfect I’m not taking it.


My Father in Law runs a Draw-Lock on his bow. He doesn’t like having to use it but doesn’t have much option. Last two weeks of our season is open to X-bows and he’ll use one of them. Getting so he won’t run a climber either, ladders or blinds generally.

Momma says get an xbow, rather than risk further injury. Aint gonna happen.

Heck, tried on a camo jacket at Cabelas yesterday and dislocated my shoulder. Been iffy for a while

Man that hurt!

Calling specialist ( guy who did Bankhart repair on my kids shoulders ).

Reaching up or back is no go. Might be able to draw bow though. Hell just pushmowed my yard....but used belly half the time LOL

Bow season might be iffy. Gonna see whats going on w my gallbladder. ER last night. Wicked attack.
Fine tonight. Yeeesh

Hurts to shoot but i fired a few. Only 58#. Its the motion, not the draw weight. Shoot it a week to get used to it, re establish form and then supertune.

It might be fine as is.

Order limbs 2 months ago, checked and things are a little behind, so wont arrive til gun season.
Shoulder issue, dunno if my reg recurve is doable. Is higher #

So ran to a pro shop and bought a low end Hoyt Torrex compound. Now to dump more $ into accessorizing. Ouch.
But it will be my backup rig whenever shoulder issues arise.

Man shooting wheels n sights is boring. Too easy. But Id rather be in the woods than on the couch.

1/3 of the way to a new rig LOL
