What does your fully setup bow wiegh?
« on: February 06, 2020, 09:41:48 PM »
Fully setup with quiver attached, no arrows in it. Just curious. Up to 3 votes.

Just got my carbon Spyder 34 down to 5lb 11oz with an 8” bstinger stab with 3 weights installed, spot hogg hunter, QAD hdx and 2 piece hoyt solo quiver.

I know a heavier bow can be steadier on target, but I have had pinched nerves in both shoulders so a lighter bow works best for me. Plus its nice while putting on the miles in the mountains. :tup:

22.4 oz. pulls 55lbs and only took me a week or so to make. Haha I feel everyone should learn to have fun building and shooting one of these!
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

Amen

too much..
haha.  i haven't weighed the 'new' bow but when i went from my starter diamond outlaw to my bowtech realm x, it was a SIGNIFICANT increase in weight.. but.
with the increased weight (for me at least) came increased accuracy and an overall steadier shot...
people really seem to get jacked up about light weight guns and bows, but shoot....sometimes lighter isnt always better.

I haven't weighed mine, but with the long ata and me never even thinking of weight as I add accesories, its heavyish, I wouldn't want it any lighter though, I cant shoot a super light bow very good 

I'll weigh it when I get home.

Using the MFG's numbers I'm at 5lb 14oz with my quiver filled to go poke a hole in something.

Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but instead you breathe, walk away, and let life take care of them.
