Looks like it was a good idea to get out of St. Louis.

Jimmy doesn't play there anymore anyway.

Nope, that's in NY I believe. I'm pretty sure that factory has twice as many people as my town.

No idea where those are made. Thanks for reminding me that I need to go bow shopping one of these days, though.

What's wrong with your old bow?

You're not one of these dudes that thinks you need the arrow to be going to speed of sound are you?

Nothing really. It's just like 15 years old, and I'm not entirely confident on how long the limbs will last - especially in cold weather. Besides, those new super-light, 85% let-off bows are SOOOOO nice.

85% would be nice. But Illegal here.

Really? I've never heard of let-off restrictions. I've seen states ban compounds all together in what they call a "primitive arms" season. They usually only allow longbows, recurves, and flintlocks.

Learn something new everyday...

[quote = "Idaho Hunting Regs"]Archery — Archery Equipment
In any hunt, including general any-weapon seasons
and short-range hunts, it is unlawful to pursue or kill big
game animals:
• With arrows or bolts having broadheads measuring
less than 7/8 inch in width and having a primary
cutting edge less than 0.015 inch thick.
• With any bow having a peak draw weight of less than
40 pounds up to or at a draw of 28 inches.
• With an arrow wherein the broadhead does not
precede shaft and nock.
• With any chemicals or explosives attached to the
arrow or bolt.
• With arrows or bolts having expanding broadheads.
• With arrows or bolts having barbed broadheads. A
barbed broadhead is a broadhead that has any portion
of the broadhead forming an angle less than 90
degrees with the shaft or ferrule.
• With any electronic or tritium-powered device attached
to an arrow or bow.
• With any bow capable of shooting more than one
arrow at a time.
• With any compound bow set at more than 65% let-off.
• With an arrow or bolt, and broadhead with a combined
total weight of less than 400 grains.
• With an arrow less than 12 inches from broadhead to
nock inclusive.[/quote]

We are expected to be a little tougher out here.

Wow. Interesting. Any idea how they measure that in the field?

My guess would be with scales.

This is the bow I shoot. I love it.

Very nice. Bear sure has come a long way from the days of the Whitetail II (my 1st bow).

It's been so long since I've been in the market, I don't even know what is available out there. I have seen/shot a few Hoyt models which I really liked. One nice thing about having a Cabela's store closeby is they have an indoor range where you can shoot any bow you want, and their archery staff seems to know their stuff.

Bad part is I shoot left-handed, so that severely limits my choices of in-stock bows.

I still have my Whitetail II in my garage. I almost threw it out last weekend, but couldn't do it.

All this bow talk, and I had to pull out the Nuge.
