anyone seen a green carbon arrow with flourescent yellow/orange vanes?

I was practicing with my bow yesterday and was at full draw holding on the target in my back yard when I got the uncontrollable urge to sneeze. I tried to release before the sneeze but too late...I heard the arrow hit the fence right above the bag and that was the last time I saw or heard from it...I looked everywhere...fortunately I didn't see any neighbors running around with an arrow sticking out of their ass, but then again it's a pretty fast 70# bow and I could have gotten a clean kill LOL.

I used to shoot a lot as a kid. Been wanting to get back into target practicing lately. Whats a good setup I should look at.

Depends, you talking strictly target or maybe a hunting/3D rig?

Also, how much do you want to spend?

1369 probably knows more than I do about them. I got mine strictly for hunting...

I got a Mathews 70# LH Switchback with a schaffer fallaway rest and black gold flash point 4 pin site...IMHO it's a good combinatiion of fast/quiet. I picked up an '06 slightly used and have about $700 in it with arrows and setup. New would be around $1100.

I don't hunt. I just want something for target practice. I have no idea what this stuff cost. I was given equipment in my preteens which was promptly taken back from unrulely family members saying they inherited it not me.

I'd be find spending 6-7 hundred maybe a little more if it makes a big difference. I don't like buying shit I don't mind spending money on quality if I have to.

The reason I asked about hunting/3D, is you may not know, but there are 3D shoots (Competitions held outdoors on a course that has three dimensional targets shaped like animals (deer/bear/alligators/etc) set int he woods at different unmarked distances. The skill is being able to correctly judge the distance for each target and then hit the target in the correct spot.) that are held at different times of the year.

If you're in the San Antonio area, I'd suggest going to the Bow Shop on Speedway or Barkley's out in Boerne off I-10. Both the guys who run the shops know their shit, will let you shoot different bows to find the one you like, and then can rig it out for you.

For a quality bow and accessories, you can plan to spend around $1K.

No...that would be the squirrels.

My dog is a diva and can do no wrong!

Thanks for the info. I'm in Corpus but I hit SA a lot. I'll plan on 1k thanks for the heads up on the price range.

If you ever run up to see the Victoria crowd, I originally bought/rigged out mine from J&J Archery in Port Lavaca.

[1369]

I might hit up Port A before too long. I've been wanting a boat and they have a few good dealerships, I'll make a mental note.

If you get one that'll run to the rigs, I'll pay gas.

I've been itching to try spearfishing.
