Wolfdog91 7,375 Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 Been getting back into archery lately and as usual instead of buy stuff brand new and dropping $500-2500 on new gear...I just went to the pawn shop to see what they have. Managed to get a nice little diamond Infinite Edge Pro 70lbs for $102 out the door. Looked practically brand new but took the little hour and a half drive up the the the closet bow shop and had them look it over . Guys said it was a out mint just missing a few small parts. So $150 later got some custom arrows built and parts installed along with the poundage getting dropped down some for only 60lbs Shoots pretty good imo But i like playing both ends of the spectrum so if I get a modern compound .....why not get something a lil more .. traditional? Eveyone on FB reccomended one of these and for the $100 they want I can't bitch much at all sooo Will say though the cheap arrows I bought for it kinda suck. But I'm getting into arrow building soon too so that's a non starter I guess lol . 11 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The problem with bow hunting is its all about accuracy and i aint got it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The problem with bow hunting is its all about accuracy and i aint got it. Thought bow hunting was illegal over in the UK. And yeah it's a bit finicky but I enjoy headaches like this. After talking to some friends sounds like my arrows arnt spined right causing the arrows flex to the right more thus grouping to the right. Love how I found that out after doing around $90 on arrows their pretty though so whatever. Finger placement has also been interesting to play with. Always shot split fingers but just hasn't been working too well Three under however seems to work much better. Both only at 12yd but it's a start 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

String crawling , arrow weights and spines three under vs split finger , instinctive vs aiming. Idk stuff like that appeals to me. Makes it much more rewarding when you finally get it right 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
