New longbow

[northwesthunter84]

Finally decided to bite the bullet and start shooting traditional again. I picked up a Galaxy Ember 60” takedown longbow. I chose the 50#@28” limbs which should put me between 53-56#s based on my draw. I will be shooting GT Traditional 400s with 25 gr footers and 175 gr heads.  Any recommendations for bow mount quivers would be appreciated.  I had a blast shooting trad at the local range when I was in high school, so I’m super excited to get back into it.

Thank you, I really like the feel and can’t wait to shoot it. Selway and Great Northern are now on my list.

When I got back into it someone had recommended Selway, maybe it was Boneaddict.  It has worked great for me through many miles of crawling through Sage.

Eagles flight is what I settled on. I think 3rivers still stocks em.

It might have been.   Its what I use.

Shot the new bow today. Man it’s addictive. My range time actually went better than expected. I shoot instictive so that is going to take a bit of practice to put all the pieces together. The good news was the arrows were flying straight so I did well with the spine (Archers Advantage really helped) and I felt like the majority of my releases were clean.

Try to come to the Rock Shoot in Moses Lake this coming April.  AWESOME shoot, so much fun!!!  Check it out.  3 different courses of 3D animals through sage brush and basalt rock.  Bring arrows you don't mind shattering or loosing.

Thanks everyone, Machias I will have to check that out. Might be tough between work, turkey season and the Mrs.

So the learning continued with the new bow today. I am not sure if the gentleman that assisted me today at KBH is a member here but it was humbling in a great way. He stopped his session and basically gave me a full trad lesson. He helped tune my bow and gave me some seriously good pointers. He also watched my shot routine and told me where I could correct my form. I appreciate every ounce of knowledge he shared. I don’t know why I am so surprised when people give a hand but that seems to be happening more and more, which is fantastic.  Keep up the good work guys
