What poundage does everyone use for their trad bow for hunting?
Well, I shoot a compound but want to get into trad. I have a Darton Stalker that is 56# @ 28" but need something that I can shoot to "work my way up" to the 56#. I can fling arrows with it but have no consistency. I am afraid that I am going to get bad habits/form with a bow that is to heavy to start with.
I was reading the thread about the "TBOW" and was thinking of getting one at 45# to practice and hunt with, which would help me work up to the Darton.
29" on my compound.What’s your draw length?
29" on my compound.
I haven't shot a trad bow since I was a kid (10-12 yrs. Old) and the 56# Stalker makes me shake like Michael J. Fox in an earthquake at full draw. Hard to get consistent accuracy and form like that. I'm hoping a 45# bow would allow proper practice and be something I could hunt with if I don't make it up to the 56# by hunting season.
Whoa....what's up with all this longbow talk? You recently mentioned you are a recurve guy after much soul(and money) searching!43# @ 27" with a VPA + double carbon longbow (longs).
Waiting for it to be made. But it is going to be at 42# at my 27.5/28 draw length.
