i dont no anything about them but its a big bonus that they are already drilled and taped that is a big ordeal to get one done you just hope to god who ever is drilling it doesn't crack the riser and ruin your bow......

 

yea, they have the site holes, incase i wanna use a retriever
the rest hole to mount any rest, will be a QD or WB (cant decide)
and the stabalizer hole so i can use a spinnner.

and its pretty light..

 

bisquit baby :hb:

 

Don' t bother with a rest. It's just one more thing you need to purchase. Shoot off the shelf! So much more convenient and less to have on your bow. These things are made to shoot from the shelf . Just set your nock set about 3/8" above level and your set.
I don' t have any experience with this brand, but if the price is what you say, then it's worth a try. you just don't know.

 

thanks, and i thought it was pretty cheap for a new bow. IF i shoot of the shelf, i will have to get an epoxy rest. i want something to trap the arrow though. i love the idea of a QD but im switching to a recurve to speed up a little and i dont know if i swing and snap shoot if it will have my arrow bouncing around when i let off? thats why im thinking WB to make the shots more cosistant?

 

bisquit :tu:

 

QD is cheaper, lasts forever, and i would be supporting someone who supports bowfishing...

 

thats your choice but ima bisquit man nothing can compete in my opinion

 

im still undecided right now.. lol

 

cant beat shooting off the shelf

 

If you are shooting a recurve, just shoot off the shelf. The closer the arrow is to your hand the better you will shoot instinctive. I would buy the bow, the price is right.

 

Im telling ya, shoot off the shelf. At least try it before you stick something on.
otherwise I"d suggest the AMS waverest. I have one on my Fire Eagle.

 

You really should check out the Samick Sage.. It looks like the Focus series with the thumb screw limb bolts but you can order it with up to 60# limbs!!!! REALLY a nice feature and they have all the same attachment ports... and they're only $130 bucks!!! IT'S A GREAT SHOOTER TOO!!!

 

well i just got home. i bought it...

anyone shoot spinners on their recurve?

 

Shelf it, if your gonna stick a rest on it it might as well have cams or lever.
Looks like a good bow, hoyt makes no crap.

 

i shoot off the shelf and use a ti20 spinner

 

My shoot my recurve off the shelf with a spinner.

 

I also have a bear hair rest on my recurve, your still shooting off the shelf but the arrow slides a bit easier.

 

on my recurve i used jb weld and made a rest... i love it

 

hey 3 rivers has a bow called the samick sage for 129.99 and it has riser inserts in it i have bought three of them and they are good bows for the money

me too.. agreed!!

 

I personally shoot off the shelf. I would put a hair or moleskin on the shelf. I also shoot Zebcos and Muzzy reels. I think you will like the quick release capability. I only shoot recurves, mostly because my dad makes them and they look pretty to me. All of my buddies like how on a quick shot you dont have to pull all the way.

 

Trust me, you don't have to pull a compound all the way back either.

 

i am worried about it being hard to swing and shoot if i shoot off just the self. what can i do about that?

 

i just want some way to control the arrow without having to hold it on the shelf...

 

I plan on using something like a fanman rest on mine..

 

whats wrong with your index finger its not like its extra effort your fingers all ready there just wanting something to do

 

The thing about a shelf that doesn't appeal to me is the inability to fine tune....i want to go recurve and spinner for speed and weight savings but still want great flight.....

 

how the heck do you fine tune one of these arrows do you put it on a spine tester and and then start cutting the shaft or if its to stiff start adding weight to the front of it because thats how you tune a arrow to your bow...... and also you have the same flexibility with off the shelf as you do with any rest out there you can build up or remove any side plates to increase or decrease the spine of the arrow

 

I know its not a WB but hey, it cost a dollar. Used it all of last and never had a single problem.

 

That is awesome. ******* engineering at its finest. This is one of those things I look at and say 'why didn't I think of that?' I am certainly not trying to take business away from the site sponsors, but this looks like a poor-man's QD if I ever saw one. Not full containment, but 90% containment should be about good enough for anyone.

 

Lol to each his own I guess. I still don't understand why someone would want to take the built in shelf...made for shooting off of and add something to it though. Since the beginning of time to the present day it is still being done with fantastic results. How fast do you really need to swing on a fish, deer or duck? Keep it simple and learn to use it in that form...yeah yeah that's more than .02 I know.

 

I agree with ya.. but for bowfishing I do see how a vertical side on the shelf drop off would be useful!

 

Just rig it up and start shooting it off the shelf, you might be surprised at how quick it will develope a natural feel. I shoot a old bear grizzly with a spinner about half of the time. Shoot it for a little while before you put on a rest!
