Now that's a bow!!!!!!!  Recurve....no bells or whistles needed just silence.  Try fishing for carp with a compound...not fun unless you have it set.

Here is my Darton 3500 Pro, I'm new to bow hunting this year. Got the bow and a few of the parts from some friends  who wanted to help me get into bow hunting (Last year, so I've been practicing). The stuff I did buy on my own, I went fairly "Cheap" in order to get me into the stand. After I get more into it and upgrade bows after a few years, I'll probably do the same thing to someone else and pay it forward.

My Bear Attitude. 32" draw with 60# draw weight. Didn't like the wrist sling that it came with so I made my own.

This was gifted to me recently.

It's a Ben Pearson Golden Sovereign Conquerer.

It needs a little love (and a string and proper arrow plate/rest), but I plan on giving it. One of the limbs had a little bit of twist on it but I had it straightened out in a few minutes. The riser has some, nicks, dings, and scratches, but it should be fairly easy to clean up.

It's about a 10 lb stiffer draw weight than I'd want but I plan on making the most of it.

Made some mods...TruGlo Carbon XS 4 pin sight, QAD HDX rest, Bee Stinger 8" w/ a CoolhandLuke quick disconnect out front. One of these days I'll put a Tight Spot on it and it'll be done.

Nice!  I got a Cruzer for my 12y.o., and a Cruzer Lite for my 9y.o.  Very versatile bows to start with!

Old Jennings Buckmaster that I’ve been piecing back together with clearance Walmart and used/China parts. I need to get back into archery and actually practice. Maybe next year I’ll pick up a modern bow package.





I really need to get an S-hook to hang this thing instead of using zip ties

Hunting season is going, but camo bows are a dime a dozen. Let's see some target rigs! (mine is currently being refinished, so it will be a coupe weeks)

So I picked up a Barnett Vortex Hunter the other day for $109 on clearance, and put a 4 pin TR joker sight on it. It’s going to be the wife’s bow. Today I stopped by the Pensacola Walmart and picked up a Vortex for $35, it’s going to be for bowfishing. I just need some arrows, finger saver, a few other things. Oh and I need to install her peep sight and kisser.

Here is my New Breed GX36 bow for 3D/target shooting. I really should get a picture or two now that it is completely set up.

Finally got it set up and tuned.  Now learning how to shoot.

Only at 20 yards, but I haven't shot a bow since the 1990s.

nicest collect here.  I haven't made nearly as many.  Only 3 so far. I only own one compound and that one is nearly 30 years old.  Most of my shooting has been with selfbows and recurves. More pictures of this one in my other thread.

Ran across this yesterday. I think this is the only pic I have of me shooting my current hunting bow. 45# Bear Grizzly. I think this will be my 4th season, previously I shot a 55# Pearson Rogue hunter and a Hoyt 38 Ultra. I’ve jumped back and forth between sights/no sights on the compound over the last 12 years or so but I’ve always shot with a tab or glove. Haven’t taken a compound into the woods in the last 8 seasons.

100cm arrows (Ya) and the bow is a Seiga - Carbon - Ni-sun Nobi about 227 cm. It is a 12 to 12.9 kg draw (~26.5#).

My draw length (Yazuka) is 93cm.

In Kyudo we draw to the shoulder, not like other archery.

Not me but not a bad example of a full draw (Kai).
