Re: Big game hunting, Korean style

Nice!  Did you use wood shafts to get to have a 34" draw?

Warbeast, Canada and the US get plenty of game animals.  US get most of the wild hogs.  Isn't hunting wild hogs a very popular event in Germany?

Re: Big game hunting, Korean style

yes and no
we do have here more than enough,
but hunting law in germany is way different
you need a hunting license that runs around 4000 us dollars (and 6 month + learning) and then ur just allowed to hunt, but can't on public land,
you either need to rent a place to hunt (>10000 usd a year) or get invited to someones hunt,
bow hunting is forbidden, catrige rifles only

Re: Big game hunting, Korean style

1187shooter, are the draw weight regulations considered as to what the bow mfg. states on the bow, or the draw wgt. at your draw length? Technically, a 45# Hwarang drawn to 30" would meet their criteria.   hmm     

    Most likely, what the bow has printed on it.

I'm guessing it's what the bow has printed on it... I will be checking on that, for sure. If it's what the bow has on the label, I'd see if Thomas can arrange to have 50# at whatever draw length printed on it... otherwise, if they measure it at 28" then a 50# bow it will have to be...

Re: Big game hunting, Korean style

Update... did a deeper dig into the Fish and Game website and found this:

"bow peak draw weight" means the peak poundage at which the bow is drawn through or held at full draw by the shooter at the shooters draw length.

So, since:

For all BIG game, you may:

NOT hunt big game with a long bow, recurve bow, or compound bow unless the bow is at least:
40 pounds peak draw weight when hunting black-tailed deer, wolf, wolverine, black bear, Dall sheep, and caribou;
50 pounds peak draw weight when hunting mountain goat, moose, elk, brown/grizzly bear, musk ox, and bison;

Then it looks like a 45# bow would do the trick, once I get the hang of the long thumbring draw.

Re: Big game hunting, Korean style

That sounds great!

A full 32" draw on a 45# KTB will easily be above 50#.  For broadheads, what do you guys recommend for big Alaskan games?  I hear very good reviews for the Silver Flame.  Is a big piece of stainless steel overkill for hunting big games?  They are not cheap.

Re: Big game hunting, Korean style

Silver Flame by GrizzlyStik? I actually have their website up right now looking at the different heads they offer... I really like the look, and I think it would do just fine.
I know a lot of compound shooters up here like Slick Tricks and Muzzys for big critters, too.
I like the look of the Silver Flames... I will probably try them out. The company sells 'seconds' for cheap, not really good for hunting but excellent for practice, to tune the arrows without shooting up the good sharp points.

Re: Big game hunting, Korean style

Here are the Silver Flames as sold by Alaska Bowhunting/GrizzlyStik... basically same as the German Kinetics Silver Flames but I believe made in Korea with Japanese Steel as opposed to Germany with German steel.

Here are some of their other broadheads:
http://www.alaskabowhunting.com/Single- … s-C15.aspx
I really like the idea of those Ashby heads but they are 315 grains by themselves... I'd need a pretty big arrow and I think a lot more than 50# to effectively hunt with those.

Re: Big game hunting, Korean style

I think the Nomad G4 Bashkir in 80# or above will be able to effectively utilize those 315 grains Ashby or similar broadheads.

Re: Big game hunting, Korean style

i use zwickey 2 blade broadheads
would love to use the german silver flames
but they are just to expensive for me

Re: Big game hunting, Korean style

Zwickeys have been around "forever" and have taken a lot of game. Come to think of it, I can't ever remember any complaints about them!   wink
