Metal riser bows
I personally was never a fan of metal riser bows they just didn’t seem to have a “soul” but being a huge Eichler fan when I started bow hunting 20 or so years ago i always wanted a Eichler signature series bow and a friend was kind enough to gift me a buffalo about a year ago. Well I just set it to the side and shot my wood trad bows and for some reason the past couple weeks i decided to give it a shot and it definitely hasn’t disappointed. Anyone else shooting/hunting with metal riser bows? Let’s see them!

In 1971 I bought my first Bear T/D, a B mag handle and shot it with 61# limbs for 8 years. In 79 I was going on my first Moose hunt and got some 75# for it. I was shooting a 32 " draw back then putting it out to 88#. It Blew up not having a backup had to go another way. Bear was not making T/D's at the time. The next spring I found an A mag riser I still have and use for turkey hunting. They have always shot good for me.

Broadhead choice
So for my bear hunt this year these are my 3 choices of broadhead to choose from. A 3 blade razorhead, a 2 blade single bevel grizzly, or two blade ace express. I also have the two blade single bevel razorhead but at that point I think id rather go with the grizzly I dont love how small the razorheads are. I may even consider a vpa 3 blade. I really like 3 blades but I dont have any vpa right now. I haven't shot the ace yet but I hear really good things. The grizzly and razorhead both shoot like a dream. Took my first deer with one of these Grizzlies. Which of these would you choose?

I've used Bear razorheads, wensel woodsmans, zwicky deltas and another 3 blade that I can't remember the name of for bears. A sharp 3 blade leaves the best blood trail but if you hit them good they won't go 50 yards. I've had them drop after doing a back flip on the bait. Good luck!

I started bowhunting seriously in 1965 All bows were traditional then. My first morning I hunted in the Necedah National Wildlife refuge in Wisconsin and got basically surrounded with running deer! I ended up getting one shot at a standing forkhorn, didn't pick a spot and shot high. I WAS HOOKED and have been ever since. I'm almost 78 now and looking forward to my next hunt, Turkey in about 2 months.

To wrap or not
What's everyone's thoughts on leather hand wraps? I've made a few and like the look and feel but wonder if they'll hold moisture next to the bow. Thoughts?

I like the feel of a leather wrap and have put them on all my bows for the 30 yrs. Never had a moisture problem as they dry out quite quickly.
