Title: My new toy
Post by: NWWABOWHNTR on June 24, 2011, 03:32:16 PM: Well I decided to go over to the dark side :yike: ... as most know over the past 3-4 years I have been "Trad Only".. Well at the NFAA shoots I have been getting tired of there only being a few in that division. So I like I said earlier... my new toy has training wheels... :chuckle: So here it is... my 2011 Maitland Zeus, in pretty red with carbon fiber dipped limbs... Just got it setup with a few borrowed items and lots of help (thanks Matt)... I won't get into a certain large archery company sending me the wrong rest (LH vice RH)..... :bash: Now to figure out how to shoot a release again.... :yike: Thanks to Roger at Wilderness archery also!

What sold me was down at Redding this year, spent a lot of time at the booth, kept walking back over, drawing the Zeus back.... finally told them... order me the red one... LOL As an old fart myself, it is a lot easier on my 56 yr old shoulders...

it wont change a thing now instead of taking 5 minutes after the shot looking for his arrows it will just take it 5 minutes to shoot his arrows. :chuckle: just joking nice looking bow for sure. Welcome to the dark side.

Now thats funny! True at times! :bash: I guess I will have to figure out how to wait for everyone else to shoot... then figure out the range to the target, glass it 3-4 times... then move my sight... double check it... glass it again... Finally draw... let down 2 times and glass the target in case it moved.... then finally shoot... then glass it again... LOL

I have had several SPot Hogg sights in the past. The hunter Hogg it, the Hogg it and now the Hogg Father. The hunter Hogg it I abused in some rough stuff hunting na dit never let me down. Now I am no expert when it comes to sights.... but I think it is as good as CBE and SHibuya both. Those are my top 3 pics....
