My grandfather’s first bow

Are those your compound arrows?
They are the same arrows but I use different broadheads and the ones for the traditional bows have feathers. I use the same arrows in my compound as my 45# recurve and now the 50# static recurve. 200 grain for the trad, 100 gr for the compound, 100 gr insert in each. Works out nice.
 
Man sorry to see that. I would glue it back together and place it on my wall. You still can look at it and remember the stories he spoke about it.
Yea, that’s what I was thinking as well.
 
What a shame. It looked like it was shooting great. What's the old saying "It's better to burn out than to fade away!" You gave it a chance to fire some more arrows . . . that's what it was intended for.
Was glad to enjoy the shooting that I did. Might have to buy one of the new K-6s now. It really was a quiet bow and fun to shoot.

I didn't realize this thread was brought back until you mentioned it in that one post...

As I read through I was gonna say your Pap would be happy to see you shooting the bow not just hanging it on the wall.
It's a bummer that it broke though.

Now you can buy a new Bowtech. :grimacing:
 
Honestly, at least it broke with him there! What a bummer but it seems like that bow has already given you a lot in the short time you've had it.
