RE: Counting Coup
Vic,
That is the limit on The GMA On private land in the Lowcountry of SC, there is NO LIMIT from Aug 15th to Jan 1st of deer season. Unfortunately, I don' t own any private land and the lease rates in clubs start around $800/year. I figure I have a pretty good start on an elk or caribou hunt at that rate!!

RE: Counting Coup
Vic,
I got the Stewart bow at lunchtime yesterday. I only time to unpack it, assemble it, shoot a dozen or so shots, disassemble and stow it in the new T/D case I bought for it.
It is very quick, super quiet, and I was quite surprised about how easy it was on the fingers for a 56" bow. I shot over half of the shots without a glove and they didn' t bother the callous that has formed on the ring finger of my shooting hand at all. I do believe it is a keeper.

RE: Counting Coup
Vic,
I got to shoot the bow in The Archery Shop today. Shooting 50#@27" , my drawlength, and a 486 grain arrow we chronoed it at 183 fps. That' s not bad for a 50@ bow shooting an arrow that' s 9.7 gr/pdf!
It is dead-on accurate for me out to 15 yards with only a couple hours of practice. I' ve got some work to do yet beyond that distance. I think the speed and the geometry of the shorter bow will take some adjusting to in order for me to extend my comfort zone to 20 yards. That' s where I would like it to be when we go to WV in November for our annual week of deerhunting.
