Who are the Forum Archers?

[Bavarian_Hunter]

Hi Guys,
To kick off this new section I'll ask the obvious question, who are the archers among us.

I'll put my hand up first.
I shoot a Bear Mauler set @ 64lb, been using rage 2 blade 125gn broadheads with powerflight 340 shafts and blazer 2" hunting vanes.
Also use my sponsored Apex Pro Berserker @ 68lbs, use whatever the sponsors wanna see.

Bringing the mauler to NZ this year to hopefully snag a tahr!.

If you are talking about the radio program from when I was a kid, Wirehunt would be one, and maybe Dundee too.

I guess not many of you know what I’m talking about....

I've been known to fling a few arrows!
Mathews Z7 Magnum @ 68lb.
Gold Tip XT hunter arrows, 2" Blazers and G5 Strikers or Montecs @ 125gns.
If I get off this drill ship in time, I'm hoping to get a stag with the bow this roar!

[PerazziSC3]

yeah i dabble in a bit of archery,
PSE Brute X @ 65-68lb, using magnus stingers at the moment

Something I played with as a kid and have guided an archer a few times.
It has my interest as a hunting tool.
Will keep my eye on this thread.

Bought a PSE Rally last year, just did an Archery course to get an idea how to use it. The good thing about a Rally is they are adjustable from 29lb to 70lb, I had it turned down to 34 ish for long target sessions as at 50lb they the arrows were driving deap into the pinex and an arse to get out, plus easier to shoot.
went on a field 3D shoot(shooting big rubber animals at varying distances) It really didnt have the range being down so low. One of the gents had his bow set on 70lb, took a bit of effort to get them out of the targets!


Ive whacked it back up to 50lb to build them muscles(current pain killers talk alot of pop out of me) as the new club targets are made of tougher material.

A recurve SF archery Premium showed up today with all the bells and whistles as I want to learn how to use a traditonal bow too.

I dont know if Id ever take a bow hunting but it'd be nice to know I might be able to shoot one well enough to do the deed!

Just looking at getting my own set up for it. Stalked a few goats with the brother in law down south and was great work.for.my dog. He was a real asset so.thinking i might do it a bit more now....

I rock a Mission Venture, 32" draw, 58lb. Only bought it coz it's piss easy to get into Aussie with a bow. Hunted far north QLD with it. Can't tell you what I got on the grounds that I might incriminate myself...

[kapitidozer]

I have hunted predominately with a bow now for about 4 years and am a member of the NZ bowhunters society.
I shoot a 70 - 80 pound Hoyt Vectrix XL using Easton Epic 300 arrows with Either Muzzy 125g or NAP Thunderhead 125g three blade broadheads with pretty good success.
However I still enjoy hunting with rifle which recently upgraded to Browning 280 rem yet to taken for a walk. Previously Husky 6.5 X 55.

Couple of work mates were using the shop as a range again this evening, had a couple of vehicles between me and them so I could work on bbq.
