Different Bow for everything

BowhuntnHoosier · 03-01-2006, 08:20 AM

I just was thinking how many of you have different bows for different jobs? My bows have always done everything indoor,hunting. So let us know what bows you have and how they are setup for the particular job. This should be cool.

Well here is the short list so far:

Switchback (original)-hunting, indoors, and 3-d 64lbs

Icon (camo) (barrowed) Dart league 65lbs

Icon (black cherry) On its way-will set up for indoor spots 50lbs

Apex 7 (hope to have one verrrrrry soon) set up for 3-d 65lbs

Pse lightening flight 2 (first bow i ever bought) Set up for bowfishing

Thats what i have for now but that changes day to day.
We should start a thread about what bows you dream of and what you would use them for.

Hi fellas im new to posting on this forum I have been reading it for a while though. Im gonna try to shoot some 3-d this summer to help me out with hunting. So heres my setup Switchback XT 67# pull, Matthews Micro drop away, and Dead Nuts hunter. I think it will work well for what im gonna do.

Tim Hansen · 03-01-2006, 08:57 AM

I guess I dont get it. I know gear addiction-as I suffer from it greatly (6 different kind of hunting boots) but why not get rock solid gear that you can strap to a backpack and hunt treeline in colorado, and the next weekend go shoot a 3d tourney? If you can place 60 arrows plus in a milk jug cap at 30 yards why not hunt with it? Kind of owe it to the animals? Hoyt vipertech 65lbs, gold tip pro hunters. -Not busting out anyone, if i had the cash I prob. would do the same

BowhuntnHoosier · 03-01-2006, 09:01 AM

I think that setup will work fine for ya XT4ME. But I am going with the WB rest.

Go ahead guys let me have it I just love this rest. And probably a Copper John or Viper hunting sight. Not sure yet on sight. And I believe I'm going to try some Easton Fatboy 400 for 3D. Anybody have any laying around they want to get rid of?

BUNNYMAN · 03-01-2006, 09:11 AM

Oh frank please dont I will by you an arrow rest just please dont do it please

BowhuntnHoosier · 03-01-2006, 09:15 AM

I knew you would love my choice of rest. I may tinker with my ripcord a little

but probably not.

BUNNYMAN · 03-01-2006, 09:20 AM

Please use the rip cord I am begging for the love of archery

And buy the way Tim Hansen are you a gun hunter??? do you use one gun for everything, I mean you might look kinda funny trying to use your .270wsm to shoot trap and sporting clays with. And the same goes for your .22 cricket on a moose or african plains game.

sharpshooter60 · 03-01-2006, 11:21 AM

Rival pro --- spots ( being replaced with apex )

Conquest II --- 3-d rid

LX --- whitetail wacker

and a few more

BowhuntnHoosier · 03-01-2006, 11:31 AM

I have'nt even gotten my XT yet and I think I need an Apex.

That sure is a sweet looking stable you have there sharpshooter60. I want more toys to play with, its not fair honey sharpshooter60 has more than I do.

Keep those pics coming guys I love admiring other bows.

Yes, actually I do with great results. I shoot a browning BPS pump 12ga. with a bead sight (if you could call it that) -not fiber optic, to out shoot most folks in trap/skeet, I outshoot my buddies shooting slugs with their short rifle barrels, Turkeys just as well as my dad/brother with their five inch extension choke tubes, and miss as many teal as my friends with their super black eagle cammo pattern guns. A little cammo duct-tape and not caring about rust spots now and again will go a long way! -not buying the extra guns gives me extra $ to buy shells so I can miss more

Steve91 · 03-01-2006, 05:40 PM

i don't have as manny bows as all you

But a shoot a hoyt ultra sport at40 pounds. no little gadgets on it.(I shoot bare bow)

BUNNYMAN · 03-01-2006, 08:47 PM

Now Tim I hope you do understand it was humor I was using

VA Vince · 03-02-2006, 04:56 PM

Started back into archery a few years ago and im hooked again. Came back with a nova for a couple of years and then,

hunting rig: 05 pse vengeance hybrid @ 65lbs
indoor spots: pse shark @56lbs
As of today my 3D bow: pse mojo 3d @62lbs

all with the bells and whistles except the mojo, just bought off of AT. I am now looking for a recurve. Bow shooting has relieved alot of stress for me and shooting helps. Just like golf and fishing and hunting these are my vice's.

cougar_magnum · 03-03-2006, 07:04 AM

Hunting: Martin Cougar III
Spots: Hoyt ProTec
3D: I cant decide between the two at the moment.

BUNNYMAN · 03-07-2006, 08:45 PM

Great now I'm crying too......"Honey I just talked to this guy on 3-d shoots.com tonight and he said his wife....."

Maybe it will work you never know.

hoagie27 · 03-07-2006, 08:47 PM

Thing is, I never asked for it. Mentioned it once or twice at worlds, but nothing more. Then BAM three weeks later, just sitting there in my chair...........

BUNNYMAN · 03-07-2006, 08:59 PM
