    draw weight question

    We'd really need to know the make and model of your bow to answer your question. If you have a conventional bow with 60-70# limbs and it shoots at 50# something sounds strange to me. As a general rule of thumb it's 3 full turns out from max crank down, and as a general rule of thumb each full turn = 3# of draw weight. There's always room to play so maybe a 70# max limb set can be shot at 72# on the high end and 58# on the low end, but a full 20# swing sounds odd unless your bow tech tweaked your limbs/cables, etc. too. If you have a reasonable amount of threads in the riser from your limb bolt screws at 50# and it shoots OK, sure why not. But after 3+ turns most limbs look pretty scary far out of the limb pocket on the riser...as far as safety concerns go if it looks like the limbs are about to fall out of the riser then don't shoot it...

    Archery Rest, Sites & Longbow Quiver

    Thanks for the recurve offers guys. I was interested in trades on a bow that I deleted from the ad. The Strother is a cash deal. For those unaware, it isn't an off-brand. Strother engineered some of the best bows put out by Bowtech and Elite and the craftsmanship on this Infinity is impressive. If you are a lefty or have a lefty archery buddy shooting an older bow this is a smoking deal for $275...

    TTT for the Strother. $275 in Tucson.
  5. I'm looking for someone skilled to go over my older 7.5 hp outboard. My diagnosis is its toast, would like a second opinion. Anyone know someone who is skilled and trustworthy with small engines in Tucson? ***Edited to add: If anyone is selling a decent 4 stroke kicker from 6-10hp in Tucson let me know

    Bump for some pics. Would trade the Darton for a working fish finder or a RH Recurve bowfishing rig....speaking of the LH Darton turned down to 50# would be a sweet lefty bowfishing bow, I already have an old Hoyt Enticer that does the trick

    Shwacker 100 grain Broadsheads

    Bump for a pic. Would trade all of the 1.75" for two packs of 100 grain Slick Trick Magnums....
  11. SPF I have a used left hand Montana Black Gold "Ascent" site for sale. It is third axis, has five .19" pins and the last pin floats. You can get a tape printed out based on your bow's speed etc and use the last pin to shoot at further distances. I think the cheapest you will find these sites new online is $145 or so. SPF
  12. TTT, price lowered to $75. Would trade for a Sonoran Site (mini-d or long range hunter) with a few .19 or .10 pins.

    BUMP. Will consider trades for bass casting rods, swivel seats for an aluminum boat, oar locks, oars, fishfinder, or other small fishing boat toys.

    Great buck and great pics. I've been looking for a 6.5x55 mauser action for a while and I'm glad to hear yours has several generations of kills.

    zen-ray optics??

    I had a pair of the 8x43 EDs. For what I paid for them, $270ish, they were OK glass: bright, clear but I found some distortion around the margins and I thought the ergonomics of the binos were large and kinda goofy. There are several reviews online that state Zen Rays are "as good" as Euro glass...no they are not, but they aren't bad if you can get them used or on close out. I also noticed that they were more less identical in design, look and feel to "Hawke" optics...anyone know if they are the same binos with two different brand names?
