Title: Anyone shed some light on Gmu's 560 or 364?
Post by: deek05 on August 11, 2015, 05:40:42 AM: New to archery. Usually hunt modern in the blues. Bro-in-law talked me into archery over the winter. Can Anyone shed some light on Gmu's 560 or 364? Water? Pros/cons? We backpack and camp now so we are used to that. Thanks in advance.
