After many weeks of back and forth trying to locate a Td recurve for my girlfriend,,she finally settled on a Rivers Edge Recurve TD 42lbs at 28"that Jeff had recently acquired, and with the help of Golden Hawk, A deal was struck, some of you know this bow,sorry no pics,Any how dealing with these two brothers was truly a pleasure..I got the bow set up last night with bow hush and pups, served in the knock and added limb savers and shot it briefly.Today I took it to the range ; Here is the set up 60 inch , 42lbs at 28" shooting Beman Mfx classics 400 , 29.5 bop ( she has a 28 inch draw! ) 3 fletches shield cut, standard inserts and 125 grn field point totalling 456 grns, Not sure of string but I think B-50? I was worried these arrows were a little overspined but they flew straight at point of aim and hit and incredible 170 fps average. I did no bareshafting. This bow is a shooter and consistantly threw 4 inch groups at 20 yrds for me, which I rarely do with my Morrison TD at 70lbs obviously that hurt my feelings a little.I know, drop your poudage...She is gonna have to work up to it a little bit but at ten yrds was able to group around 12 inches before she wore out...She is stoked...Kindest Regards to of all of you guys...
GREAT!! Glad that I could help make this happen for you and Kara. The strings with the bow are D97. This bow is however a 57" 42@28 with actionboo and Carbon limbs. Great shooter and looks evey bit as good. Here is a pic. The bow on the left. (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b376/bruin52/IMG00008.jpg)
OOPS Does that mean I have to saw off three inches on My Morrison to get that accuracy?...SAW in hand...And thankyou for the pics and improved specs..You the man!!
Don't take the saw to your Morrison. You might want to try droppin a few pounds though.
I would never! LOL. She is a beaut and 6 inch groups are not to bad !! That higher poundage fires me up at least for the first 50 shots then its Frosty beverage time anyway!!
i told you it was good. nail driver you can get the groups down to 3 " and shoot nocks off belive me i know. :archer: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
