HSMITH Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Sweet!!!! You going to hunt with it like that or swap stabilizers and sights out? What X lens are you using? Looks like a killer 3D setup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Seriously, if all else fails you can bat the deer to death with that. It is one cool looking bow, all joking aside. Enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterbenedetto Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I shot US olympic Recurve 10yrs ago. I have an Eolla yamaha recurve in a COFFIN? havent taken out since. I Love that compound bow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 Actually, the stabilizer is only about 9 oz. I use the long bar for indoor spots, and will use a 10-12 inch for 3D and hunting. A local guy here in Mich is building them. They are very nice work, and I only paid $50.00 for the 28 inch on the bow. Nice stuff and cheap!! i have not decided on what power lens I need yet, but probably start with a 4x. it is a pin sight with microtune, made by Viper. Very nice sight so far. This is my hunting/3D rig, with occasional spot shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainmcphersn Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Wow, that's one big counterwieght. No kidding, you compensating for something??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMITH Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Sounds like a good plan Cameron. I miss 3D competition, but there just aren't enough hours in the day or days in the week to do all the things I like to do. Maybe when I retire........ I used to really get a kick out of shooting spots with my hunting bow, 540 grain arrows a tick or two under 280 fps make a WHACK on the backstop that will stop the whole line of shooters LOL.

Well, my 8 year old son loves to shoot, and I have been taking him to 3D's and a little hunting this fall. So I decided to get back into archery for more than just deer season. i also got Thomas Moore into archery this fall, and he is a natural. We plan on doing at leat one 3D a month or so, just to break up the pistol games. This Guardian is about as loud a a church mouse with felt slippers. Technology has come a long way from 10 years ago!

AzShooter Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Wonderful setup. Looks like a winner. I shot archery for many years and then taught it for a few. Really miss it. 3-D reinvented the game. My ex and my son would come with me and shoot along. That made for the most fun. Stabilizer looks great. Good luck with your shooting.

raz-0 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Used to participate in JOAD when I was younger. I've been looking to pick up a nice compound bow. I'm hoping the post-bowhunting season will be nice to me on the sales/deals/garage sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEDELLCUSTOM Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 yes, the Sonics do fly nice, they don't seem to plane as much as some larger broadheads and the ability to replace blades easily is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
