Title: What else do you use?
Post by: Muskie03 on February 26, 2011, 07:06:01 PM
Release, rest, arrows, fletching, do you fletch your own?

Last fall I upgraded to a Tru Ball Assasin SST release. Just love it.
Also picked up a QAD Ultra Rest. Slick little unit.
Just started fletching my own arrows with the 2.5" Fusion Shield white fletching. Really helped my groupings.
G5 Meta Peep large.
All on top of a Fred Bear Showdown.

Now that I think about it mines kinda basic I guess, not very up to date by any means.
Sight: Carolina Archery Prod., a single pin sight set at 30 yards. (it would have be to a deer with a bulls eye on his side for me to shot that far so anything closer I just aim a little lower.)

Rest: carolina Archery Prod, whisker biscut. (its ok, but not great, probably gonna upgrade later.)

Peep sight: just a cheapo large plastic ring. (works great, no rubber tube slap'n my eyes out.)

Quiver: none. (usually have on I carry but dont have one on the bow.)

Release: a Scott caliper with the rubber deer antler grip.

My bow is a High Country Premier pro series, its at least 7/8 years old but I love the way it shoots, High Country(ther factory is about 30 miles down the road so I try and support teh home boys) is try'n to make a come back and I mite buy a new bow later on.

My other bow is a Bera Grizzly recurve, no sights and my quiver is a home made leather back quiver I made a few years ago, its a blast because it so simple.

My biggest goal this year with all the above bows is to take a turkey with my Kodiak Magnum after taking a record with my Compound that would be the ultimate for me this year, i have switched to shooting true instinctive with it this winter from the 3-finger under i used to shoot, my old boss was taught by some of the elite recurve shooters in his 28 years so after he watched me shooting with the apache 3-fingers under he wacked me on the head and started me on my new journey, well i was working at a Archery Shop up till a couple weeks ago and got shuffled out the door and someone else took over all my online stores i had running so 2 weeks to go before Turkey Season here in Maine opens I am pumped!
