Default I've got my bow!

Hi everyone,
I finished school last week and, friday, my father gives me his bow, which he can't draw because of an old injurie.

I'm so happy, it's not like a drenalin or the Element, but it was free and i've already shoot with it a liltle bit`. I cant keep my money and, next or in 2 years, buy a new one.




Little vid, just for fun!

Francis,

That looks like a newer version of my old Alpine Sierra Magnum.
Slow and loud, but very accurate, at least when it was tuned.

I fixed mine up and used it last year, but had to upgrade for this year.

You need to show up all us guys with the fancy new bows.

Is that a Hoyt? I will tell you this, it is quiet, forgiving, and if you hit them right it will shoot right through them.

Have fun and dont let quik give you crap over the pull poundage!

I can tell now, it'sa York. (second look)

Francis,

I put those on my old bow and they made a little difference.
For $20, I would get the S-Coil first (or both).

BassPro has a Sims Kit, which seems good for the money and should
quiet the bow down some (but don't expect miracles):

Good luck.

Good luck.
Thanks a lot, i'm not having a BassProShop where I'm living, but tomorrow I'll take a ride to my archery shop. I'll come back with the information. Hope that it will not be too expensive[X(]
