got a new bow today!

<< < (3/3)

Jesse:
cool bow. I have a similar one built by James Parker. It has siyahs though. I shot it through the crony with fingers at only 28" draw and 10 gpp and it was 185 fps. The bow was made to draw 32" I shot it with a less than 10 gpp arrow at 30" and got 215 fps :o  Also very quiet and not really any noticeable shock. The only trouble I had with it is my accuracy ;D I just use a stringer These things will come after you in a hurry if you make a mistake stringing them.

mullet:
Jesse, try shooting it with a Thumb Ring, you will be amazed with the clean release and performance. I am shooting my Serpentine better with the Thumb Ring then when I shot it with fingers.

Jesse:
Pat gave me a thumb ring and I tried it but man that is just plain weird. I just cant get the feel for it. My arrows were off to the right by about 5 feet ;D

mullet:
You're still looking down the left side of the bow. You have to make yourself look off the right side. I'm shooting plate size groups out to 20 yards now.

im really enjoying this bow.  im happy with the performance.  i plan on getting a few well matched arrows for it as well.  was shooting at snakes today.  shot at a little bitty one.  head was sticking up out of the water, in front of a log.  the first one i hit high two inches.  the second one hit right where his head was. i really think i hit him, but it was just a field point.  dont like to stump with broadheads, dont want someone to think im poaching..

anyways, bow is just awesome, and i finally got the stringing down
