I started shooting target in the mid 1960s as a teenager. I was using all I could afford. A cheap Bear recurve. Used that for many years. Took my first deer with it in 1972. Bought a compound in the 1980s but never really liked compound. Then I started carving my own longbows. My shooting coach in the 60s was my Dad's friend Bud Hitt. Bud made super nice bows. I always wanted one but couldn't afford it. Saturday I found a nice used 35# target bow. So excited to add this great bow to my collection. This bow was new in 1964. Bud Hitt Black Ace Bows.

Got out to shoot it the first time today. 90 Shots. 5 six shot rounds at 10, 15 and 20 yards. By the time I finished I was losing accuracy because my shoulder was getting tired. Group 2 @10 yards. Attached File Group 12 @ 20 yards Attached File I really like this bow. Yesterday I bought another Bud Hitt bow for my 12 year old granddaughter to shoot. 1969 28# bow Attached File Both came from the same person dispersing her grandfather's collection. It should be here Monday. If it is as nice as the 1964 bow I will be very happy. |
