Title: Re: Who shoots what
Post by: actionshooter on May 18, 2007, 05:14:45 PM: I shoot the new Hoyt Vetrix, like it alot. I had to by a new bow when my Hoyt pro vantage hunter split a limb at full draw and sent pieces completely through my left hand :rolleyes:
That took 2 years to get back on the bike. :chuckle:
Title: Re: Who shoots what
Post by: General Disarray on May 25, 2007, 06:50:14 AM: I shoot a 2007 Bowtech Allegiance. At least that's what is in my garage right now. I may try to pick something else up for hunting this fall. It's nice having a bow for 3D and a bow for hunting.

I set mine up with Trophy taker rests and a 7 pin Trophy Taker sight. usually shoot Fatboys for 3D and ICS's for hunting.
Title: Re: Who shoots what
Post by: Dan/WA on June 01, 2007, 07:04:08 PM: Another 2007 Allegiance shooter here. She's been great so far. ;)

I'm shooting Easton FMJs this year as well.

Post by: GOcougsHunter on June 01, 2007, 07:31:37 PM: I have a 1988 High Country Sniper that has served me well. I'm shooting 85lbs with 65% let off. 2217s have left gaping holes in everything I've shot. The bow has no problems with removing rib bones either. My 20, 30 and 40 yrd pins are very close together.

Title: Re: Who shoots what
Post by: bullcanyon on June 30, 2007, 08:51:22 PM: I shoot a bowtech allegience. It's a 2005 model. Doesn't have the fancy speed modules. Don't matter though. It drives tacks out to 60yds. If I was a coyote. I'd be scared to death at 80yds. I used to buy a new bow every year until I got this bow. Granted I haven't shot the newer models. I don't have a desire to upgrade this bow.

Using a trophy taker rest.(Put the same rest on my last 5 bows) Spot hogg sight. Alpine quiver and gold tip xt 7595 arrows.

Post by: WAcoyotehunter on July 01, 2007, 07:10:38 AM: Hoyt HavocTec...i think it's a 2005 model. With gold tip xx75 arrows and 100gr muzzy. I need some new arrows, i'm down to the last few and they're getting pretty rough!
Title: Re: Who shoots what
Post by: boneaddict on July 01, 2007, 07:21:51 AM: I hear you about the arrows. I need to buy at least a dozen for both my trad bow and compound. I bought a set of gold tips this last fall for the Trad bow, and they are spined a bit too stiff for it. They love to swing all sorts of directions.
Title: Re: Who shoots what
Post by: WAcoyotehunter on July 01, 2007, 08:52:13 AM: I have the same problem, any arrow recommendations? I like to keep them long- well past my fingers w/ a broadhead- and i think my bow is set around 65 lbs.
Title: Re: Who shoots what
Post by: boneaddict on July 01, 2007, 09:33:42 AM: Carbon or aluminium?

I'll have to see what number my carbon are. I use the gold tip traditionl grain carbon in their maximium length (31inch ?)for my longbow(85 pounds). I use the easton aluminium for my compound. I shoot an overdraw, but have a 31 inch draw length, so my arrows are still fairly long. I think those are 29 inch. I'll take a gander. I shot one set of arrows with my longbow that were seemed close to perfect. I was down to 6 in good shape, and wanted more for my moose trip, so ordered a new set with one notch up stronger spine. I guess I was shooting for absolute perfect. $120 later, I had a dozen arrows that were spined too stiff. Big mistake. Soooooooo I took the 6 good ones to Alaska with me. I used one of them. Other than some moose blood, I guess it still is in good shape. ; ) I'll check my numbers and get back to you. The carbon sure lasts longer than those aluminium ones.
Title: Re: Who shoots what
Post by: WAcoyotehunter on July 01, 2007, 02:42:11 PM: Mine are carbon- the problem is i'm 1.5 hours from any bow shops and i can't be runnning back and forth all the time to make changes. I've been shooting the same arrows for four years...and haven't changed a thing on my bow since i bought it. I think it's time for a trip to town!
Title: Re: Who shoots what
Post by: boneaddict on July 01, 2007, 04:55:57 PM: I hear you about bow shops. Mine has late hours...opens at like 5 at night until 8. I'm never in town during those hours. My Gold tips that work the best or old ones are 5575. the ones that are spined wrong are 7595. I had three arrows that came with the bow that were the 5575s and they didn't work the best. The batch I bought seem to work fine. Since its an 85 pound bow, I thought I would try the next spine up. I thought maybe I was right on the edge. Wrong choice. I don't know if these will shoot through my compound or not. I shoot the aluminium xx75 camo hunters out of it. I bowhunt, but don't know wnough about archery to know how well these other arrows will shoot out of it. I guess I should hit the range. I think if I put heavier broadheads on these babies they might also work. I hear you're not supposed to do that necessarily. ???

Title: Re: Who shoots what
Post by: tlbradford on August 21, 2007, 09:16:49 AM: Geez Bone. 85# longbow. That is a man's bow.
I have an old hoyt ramhunter that I shoot only occasionally now. I learned on a longbow so I shoot it like one. No sights and with fingers.
My goto bow is a John Schulz longbow made for my Dad. It is 58# at 26". I think that calculates to around 70# at my 29", and every year I am real sore when I pick it up again. I am unsure of the calcs per inch of overdraw. One of those things I used to know when hunting was my main priority. Now all that extra space in my brain is taken up with family things I need to remember. So if someone gives me that info, I'll blame you when I forget my wedding anniversary...again.

Cobra 5 pin sight
Whisker Biscuit Deluxe rest
Whitetail arrows + Muzzy broadheads

What I would change:
Spott Hog team Primos sight
Trophy Taker Xtreme FC arrow rest

The one thing I don't like about the Whisker Biscuit is that it makes for a noisy draw. I've heard of some guys wiping non stick cooking spray on the shaft, but seems like it would attract a lot of dirt.

Post by: Bookworm on February 20, 2008, 07:31:33 PM: I bought a Bowtech 82nd. airborne a few weeks ago. Right now I'm planning on shooting it mainly for 3-d. I still use my axis 400 arrows but they are a little undersplined for this bow. It's way different than my Mathews in the way that out to 40 yards there is very little arc. It's taking a little while to get used to it but I think it will be worth it in the long run.

Post by: bowhuntin on February 20, 2008, 08:06:29 PM: I just upgraded and bought a Bowtech General, I shot the 101st and it sure made a loud popping sound when it was shot does the 82nd do that too?

I use a whisker biscuit, alpine 5 arrow quiver, easton axis arrows, and a copper john deadnuts sight 7 pins with the fiber optic wrap. IMO that sight is the best bang for the buck if you are looking for something more affordable than the Spot Hoggs.

Post by: Bookworms Wife on February 20, 2008, 09:58:55 PM: I shoot a Mathews Ignition, 40-50 lbs. (yes, youth due to my short draw length of 24), Easton Axis 500, Spott Hog, 5 pin., Trophy taker. Having a delima with using a range finder that I actually don't like and then packing binos. I would really like to find a combination of both without spending alot of money. Haven't found it yet, but still looking.

Let us know when you find one! I have the same thoughts about carrying both!

Post by: rooselk on February 20, 2008, 10:32:42 PM: BookwormsWife, how is that Ignition working out for you? My wife also has a 24" draw and our local bowshop also recommended that bow. I've been thinking about getting one for her.

I think the reason the 101st made that sound is because they had the speed mod on the bow instead of the smooth mod. You can choose between both, I am not sure what I got on my general but it is super quiet and has no kind of vibration or hand shock what so ever. Not as smooth of draw as the mathews. I also shot a hoyt katera, that was a real nice bow also.
