New Toy

RevSmoke · 05-24-2009, 05:24 PM

Don't know how many of you here are archers, but just got a new toy - a Bowtech Sniper. I had an old Hoyt Flashpoint Heat, I think I got it in 1997, so it was time. I cannot believe how smooth this bow shoots, and it is the low-end of the Bowtech line. I've been saving for this for about 9 months, a little away every pay period. I knew I was getting a new bow, and that it would be a Bowtech, but not which one. So, as I was shooting with my sons at a 4-H Shooting Sports event, and after 140 arrows my arm was fatigued, I figured it was time for a new bow. Nathan, my oldest figured it had something to do with wheelbarrows and two days of digging and laying paving bricks. I wasn't going to concede that point. Of course, if I would have, I could have saved up for a couple more months and maybe purchased one of the higher end bows, but...

Here's a pic of me with my Bowtech Sniper - and a link to the Bowtech Sniper page for those who want more information about this great weapon. Oh, and it is made in USA!!!

I do more shooting than hunting. Bow I just replaced, I had for 12 years - never shot at a deer with it. Last year, I never got out in the woods with the bow. However, I shoot in an archery league with my eldest son - and shoot 4-H shoots with both boys.

I have shot pheasant, rabbit, and raccoon with bow though - just never a deer.

I got my first bow when I was 5. Then at 13 got a long bow and at 16 my dad gave me a 120 year old indian long bow. Good times. Then I got sick and my parents sold our camp and diddnt let me get them back. Now I havent shot one in 5+ years. May be time to dig my most recent compound bow and have another go.

Very nice.

All you need is some explosive arrows and you're set.

Make sure you change clothes first. I'm pretty sure deer can spot a baby blue shirt with pink writing
