Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted June 22, 2013 Super User Posted June 22, 2013 Im moving my post and update down to this forum. For those that have not read it. I'll summarize. I traded a rod, reel, two knives, and a machete for a compound bow. End summary. I picked up said compound bow last night at 9:45PM CDT. It is a PSE Force SS. That thing is a freaking beast. The actual setup has a capture rest the brand of which I don't remember. A toxic bow sight, 5 pin. A stabilizer that is mossy oak and red inside. Well I wanted to test said bow last night when I got home.I set my target up in the front garden. Stepped off 20 feet, and let her rip. She sunk that arrow 16 inches into the foam cube. Well I wasn't done yet though. I stepped off another ten feet. Clicked the release and wham! The arrow missed grazed the top of the target, shot through three loops of garden hose, buried itself into the ground. And shot the nock off of the arrow back at me. That ended my night time shooting. Today, I took said biw to the store to have the draw length and weight adjusted. He maxed out the draw length to 30 from 28. The weight was increased from 45 to 60 lbs. Then we discovered the string was wrong for the bow. Well out came Mr Wallet. I hadn't paid a cent for this bow. So I shelled out the 120 for a new string. Ol Boy is making me a fluorescent yellow and royal blue string for it. They are also doing a complete breakdown and cleaning on it. As well as replacing any worn out parts for free! I get my bow back at the latest on Friday. I will get pics posted of my new baby then. Quote

Hells yeah son. Those ate some nice groupings. I can't wait to get it back. Those two shots with it got me hooked all over again. Hopefully they will have it is reatrung before seven days. I'm liking it cause its new to me. I've been shooting horse bows and my long bow for the last several years. Its a completely different animal then those are. My 2 brother in laws and myself are gonna go boar hunting in three weeks time. So I get a chance to try it in the field soon. I'm so stoked. Quote

So how do you hunt them with a bow...In a tree stand or a blind and bait them in? Can't imagine you be face to face with that 200 pound of bacon charging and all you got is 1 shot with a bow, you better be M-Fing Robin Hood or your gonna get tusks son. lol....Bows do sound interesting now that you guys talk about it. Never cared much about it, but the whole arrow flying in the air, accuracy, challenge thing is intriguing. Glad I stummbled on this thread. Quote

If you don't find them lay up on a pig trail and wait. That broad head will bust its lungs, then its a waiting game. If Mr. Hog wants to get rough then out comes the Bacon Maker!! Gonna go straight Predator style on that Hog! Or my brother in laws .44 mag. Either way. I have always preferred a bow to a rifle. Be it deer or whatever I'm hunting on, larger game wise. I feel it gives the animal a fairer chance. I mean I may miss, or I might not be able to get close enough. With a rifle that deer is in the fridge and on the wall. Its the same with tree stands. I'm not big on hiding in a tree either. I like tracking and stalking my animals. Quote
