Re: Way off topic: Who bow hunts?
What bow are you looking at? Being an archery dealer and having shot many I can not put words into how happy I am with mathews. By far the BEST customer service. Great bows as well. The bowtech General (which we dont sell at my shop) Is even quiter than my longbow!!! A hair on the slow side but so so smooth. I would advise you to shy away from hoyt though. They are heavy compared to other newer bows and they dont stay tuned very. I did kill afew deer with my hoyt vulcan and did well in 3-d tourneys. Would never own another one though.

 I am interested in trying their new speed bows for kicks. I don't need anything that fast, but it would be a blast for 3d and would become my everyday bow if they were anywhere near as smooth as the Guardian/General. I am certainly not a brand ho before anyone gets their panties in a wad. I don't own a BT, but have shot a few and liked them.

Re: Way off topic: Who bow hunts?
Another Traditional Bowhunter here....Shoot a longbow. Some company for deer season and some out-of-state hunts would be great. We should keep this going as the season is just around the corner...

Re: Way off topic: Who bow hunts?
You guys that are traditional archers have my respect for sure!!! I'm building a longbow slowly now...but the spearguns are taking precedence! I hope to be proficient with it for the 09 whitetail season.

I'm a Hoyt man, myself. I like the feel of a heavier bow...

Re: Way off topic: Who bow hunts?
I had a Martin before switching to traditional. Good bow. Not quite as good as a plain ol' stick though

I shot and still have the Martin Warthog. It was probably better looking than it was great with a beautiful laminated wood riser. Everybody made fun of it and called it the "hog wapper" but at the end of the day I was the one eating Gods creatures. I think it was Mike Eberhart who said spearfishing was 90% Indian and 10% arrow when I asked for some spear gun advice. Same most definitely goes for archery equipment.
