What do you shoot
«

I used to shoot a Compound old school Buck Skinner, but gave up on compound and was looking for the recurve limbs for the Buck Skinner. When I could not find any i bought a recurve, Thnunderbird 55#, made by Jay St. Charles. I shoot wood arrows with two blade broad heads for hunting. I practice about 8 months a year with it as an instinctive hunter, which I might add has transferred over to my shotgunning for ducks, pheasant and other fowl.
Anyway lets here what you guys and gals, if there are any on the site, as to what you shoot.

In recent years I've been enjoying bowhunting with my 55# wooden yew longbow, "Mr. Snappy". I fire arrows out of lots of different bows throughout the year, but as I get close to big game season, I string my old friend.
Although Mr. Snappy is a so-called "traditional" style bow, don't look for any "one kind of bow" politics from me. I make my own choice purely on the thought that its currently the bow I most enjoy hunting with. I assume everyone else has made their own choice for the same good reasons and wish every hunter their best day in the woods with whatever they choose to hunt with, gun and bow.

Uh, anything and everything. I started out with a recurve many years ago, then rifle hunted for a few years until I came back this time with a compound. Never did very well with it though. So I picked up a longbow. To me I just feel deadlier with it in my hands. More successful too.
After messing up my elbow a couple years ago I bought a compound again. The weight reduction at full draw helped . But things are always changing so now I'm headed back to the longbow - elbow now healed. Needless to say I have a few bows to play with.
To make this long story short, I just like bows and always have to try something new or different. When I get a new one I love to tune it until it's perfect. As mentioned before it doesn't matter what somebody shoots. The person behind the bow is far more important. It's all fun.

Hoyt makes good products. Seems like there are never enough good archery shops around. Who do you look to for your service and questions?

Yeah i am very happy with my hoyt. Me and my buddy got 06 models and then our other two friends jumped on the same boat and bought hoyts. There is only two archery shops by me and one of them is absolutely awesome. Family owned, friendly and has lots of options to shoot. Indoor range, outdoor range, pop ups, and 3d targets.

Here is my Sapphire hawk from Ernie Mckenzie of Lolo MT.
One deer and one Alaskan Moose fell this year to it.

I don't fit into any nitches. I shoot a compound instinctively. Started with recurves in the 60's but went to compounds for their flat shooting. Currently shooting a Reflex Highlander at 45#. Can't shoot heavier because of a stroke a few years back.
Love hunting predators.

Niches are overated. Good for you for keeping up with your shooting after the stroke.

I have been a Hoyt boy the last 6years,but just picked up a Mathews switchback this week. Great shooting bow. I have hunted and harvested animals with many different tpyes of bows from fast overdraw equiped bows to a recurve I made in high school. The first elk I ever killed was with that old recurve I made, still have it to day but cannot shoot it because of a twisted limb.I just keep it around for memories. My way of thinking is that all bows are good shooters in the right hands. RODGER
