So after about eight years with my old, loud, strong, bear buckmaster btr 70# I decided it was time for an upgrade.
I've had that bow for about 8 years, and didnt like it very much. Just put up with how much sound it made becasue it still whacked what I shot it at. Well after some inconsistancy issues and some component switching, I decided to just go brand new.
Research (AKA going to sportsmans warehouse and shooting some bows) and reviews lead me to invenst in a bear mauler. A thing of beauty. Now I had thought of going with brand new all kinds of stuff, but there were a couple things I wanted off my old bow.
The first was my balancer and wrist wrap. They arent special. They are cheap, and so completely unneccesary on my very quiet new bow i didnt need a special vibration dampening balancer.
The one thing I needed to keep was my limb driver. If you dont know about a limb driver rest, check it out. They are sweet. A little tricky to tune at times, but shoot sweet.
Now the main reason I came to write this was because of a new sight. The trophy ridge micro hitman 5 pin. I have never seen a sight of this quality for $90. (cabelas) Every thing on it is metal. cept for the fiber optics of course. Solid whole frame, spring loaded micrometer adjustment, a small light house in the body so it only illuminates the pins. A beautiful piece of equipment, at half the price of compareable sights.
I just got her tuned up today, shooting is gonna come a bit later.
The one purchase I'm a little unsure about was a bearclaw quiver. It has a mount that screws onto the sight bracket, and a quick detach system. I love how it works, only problem is it vibrates a little bit. I snugged down the bracket nice and tight and it isnt horrible, but still gonna see if I can take down on it a little bit. Also it seems a little loose on my full metal jackets... they are a little thin... so we will see if this thing makes it very far....
Bow sight: - If you are in the market, buy one.
