Seems I forgot to put a price on this. It is still for sale, $230 TYD, I've less than 100 arrows fired with it. I changed internet providers and forgot my password to get on this site hence the lack of communication.

Re: Help/Advice needed for minor SMG Carbon Repair (1 replies, posted in Bows)
I'd just remove the wrapping and re wrap it. Looks to be about 15-20# test monofilement Maxima to be specific,

Hi all,
The threading above the grip recently came undone om my SMG carbon. It was severed and came undone after loosing an arrow:
Should I simply remove the threading and re-thread? What type of threading is this anyway?

You might want to try vet wrap, it's non-slip, and does not leave a sticky residue when removed to change after it gets dirty and it's cheap.

Topic: How to? (1 replies, posted in Bows)
How should I go about removing the paisley leather from my KTB? there appear to be several areas on the back of the bow where the lamination is breaking down and I'd like to inspect this before I shoot it further.
thanks,
Bob

Re: Bohning Impulse Vanes (3 replies, posted in Arrows)
I like them a lot, If the spine is not quite right they will not stabilize the arrow quite as fast as a higher profile but by 50m everything is flying true. They seem to have very little wind drift, I'll buy more.

alxx,
The KTB works just dandy with a 3 finger draw, you'd be shooting off your hand rather than off a shelf, but that's really no big deal.

They are a fairly new product from Bohning. Very low profile, 0.28, stabilize the arrow quickly even with mis-matched spine, I like 'em

Re: War of The Arrows on iTunes (17 replies, posted in History)
John Wayne, well, he played John Wayne. compare "True Grit" with Jeff Bridges, (who plays Rooster Cogburn), to True Grit where John Wayne plays John Wayne, which he did damned well, as he did in every other movie he was in.. tastefully done head lopping does not show the detached head rolling across the floor, or blood spurting out of the stump.

Re: War of The Arrows on iTunes (17 replies, posted in History)
Will,
I may have been a bit over the top comparing the director to Tobe Hooper. The Head Lopping was entirely too tastefully done. Think about it, Give the characters Colt 1873s and Winchester '92s instead of swords and bows, put Stetson Silver Bellys on the good guys and Black Resistols on the bad guys, you've got yourself a damned good western movie. I'll rate it fourth, right behind True Grit w/Jeff Bridges, Tombstone, The Seven Samurai, and any of the movies where John Wayne, plays John Wayne.
It is a good movie, good enough to stand up to sub-titles, and good enough to where I'll watch it again.

Tiwaz,
I'd take a look at the Easton Flatlines in .400 spine, They are a bit light from my KTB, (50# @31) drawn to 32.5" but when my form is on they fly well. .340s fly better and get more distance even though they're about 60 gr. heavier when made up.

Re: War of The Arrows on iTunes (17 replies, posted in History)
I'm in the process of watching it now. Good arrow through the neck scenes, good head lopping scenes, good get drunk and roll around like high scoolers scene. Good haul the village off to slavery action. It's almost like the director is channeling Tobe Hooper. I'm giving this four paws up! Heck I'm gonna buy the DVD for my very own!! You should too.

Dan,
At 30 yds my 50# KTB will put a 450grain arrow with a broadhead through a fresh bale of straw and bury it in the wood pile behind, I have no hesitation taking it out for elk, and would have non using it on caribou or moose, bear, well I tend to favor the .375 H&H

Hun,
What I'm seeing is that rather than relaxing my right had at release, I'm just relaxing, as a consequence my rt. hand follows the string for a few cm. before the arrow clears.

Re: First Traditional Bow (30 replies, posted in Bows)
Couple of thoughts; Start with 30# to 35# draw, this'll make the learning process easier.
Kaya makes great bows as you'll figure out from reading reviews on this and other forums
If you're new to this, there is no reason not to go with the KTB and a thumb ring, It will take about the same amount of effort to become adequate with a thumb ring as with a three finger release, and for me it seems more natural, from what I've read the KTB allows for a longer draw than the Khan and as a consequence higher arrow speed.
