Title: It’s been a long dry spell!!!
Post by: Bisch on July 06, 2022, 11:56:21 AM
But I was able to get it done with my new Blacktail Colombian longbow this morning on a nice eater sized sow! Shot was about 12yds. She made it about 80-90yds.

There was blood right where I shot her, but not much of anything between there and where she piled up. Zeke covered it in no time at all!

I like it real well personally.  He must like it too because he wouldn't take $500 cash for it the other day.🤣😂🤣

Congratulations Bisch.  Excellent shot.
Jager or piledriver?

At first, I was a little dissatisfied with the grip. Then I had to send both my Primal Tech bows in to the shop (nothing wrong with them; just getting weight reduction). That forced me to have to shoot the Blacktail more, which gave me the time to actually get used to the difference from what I was used to. I'm shooting it well now, and liking it a lot!

And Gary, neither Jager or Piledriver. I used a German Kinetic XL.

46@29 (I'm drawing closer to 28 now, so probably 44# at my DL).

Thanks Busch, what is the length?

I see the 60" length is only available in the Colombian or up models, not the Classic. I do like the shorter, slimmer 14" handle.

This one has a short handle, but I'm not sure if the length of it? The overall length of the bow is 64".

Congrats! Good work! We have been getting after them with modern rifles/thermal here, but have still been in the mind set of hatred vs breaking arrows for the past 10 years. I have been thinking about getting back into the spot and stalk on those turds though. I feel like I have been missing out on the true kill. Maybe buy some cheaper arrows and broad heads?! haha

Awesome hog, there is just about taking a hog with a bow that is so primal. With the stick and string, most of us are going to take a close shot which can get the blood to pumping, especially on the ground. Perfect eating size as well, so good eats for sure. Like you, my draw length and weight has shorten but the drive has not. Congrats
