Re: Best Compound?
3dbowman, I also would not hesittae to go 40 or 50 yards with an AR34, my point was that it would be my choice for a bow where shots were most likely going to be very close, due to the fact that it is such a quiet bow! I do not believe that 300 fp/sec is a reasonable expectation for a hunting set up in these bows though, maybe if you have an exceptionally long draw length. And if you do what is neccesary to take these bows up into that speed range you will lose a lot of the quietness which is one of their best features. Swamper on here owns an AR 34 and i believe that he is getting around 285 @ 30" draw. would get a tad more if he went right down to 5GPP but again it would not be nearly as quiet as it is with his hunting set-up.
All of this is of course just my own opinions.
As far as what I shoot here's the list
hunting bow - bowtech extreme VFT @73 #'s
3d bow - same as above but in target black
indoor bow - hoyt sapphire that I customized and upgraded to the cam 1/2
system
i also have a PSE takedown recurve and a Kazama one peice recurve.
I have recently owned a hoyt superstar, a css challenger, and a bowtech pro40. between me, the wife and the kids we have 12 bows on the rack, 7 compound and 5 trad! keeps me busy with the bow press and arrow fletcher for sure!!
Once again, welcome to the site and i look forward to your contributions!!
PS - Kirby, Pope and Young has changed the criteria and any let-off is now allowed. The only difference is that anything more than 65% will go into the book with an asterisk beside it to show it was taken with higher let-off.
