Dalebow, medical tubing/aquarium tubing full length will do it without moving around, just leave room for your nock. That's how Danny(yleecoyote23) started me on GT 35-55'S.
Thanks Bud

Yep, these shafts are 75/95's with 100 grain inserts and 125 grain WW's and weigh just shy of 600 grains, if I add the aquarium tubing to them it bumps them up to close to 700 grains...

Thanks guys for all the congrats!!! It's been a long and frustrating year to say the least, so it was nice to get one. And being able to use a bow that I bought from a TradGanger (Mike Bolin) and some beautiful arrows that I had bought from here as well (can't remember who I got them from).. and putting all the advice and help that I have recieved in the past year from everyone on here, as well as all the local guys here like Brent, Louis and Tracy (redfeathers, StraightShot and Losthawg) that have let me shoot and hunt with them as I figger all this "trad stuff" out!!!!

Gosh Mike, I can't remember!!

Yep, I have bought (and sold)a bunch of bows in the past year or so, but whenever I get down on my shooting abilities, I always go to that homely little Habu!!! I can always string it up and hit where I'm lookin', and MAN, that thing will slam an arrow into a target!!!! Every time I think about selling it, all I have to do is shoot it and my mind gets changed every time....

JDinPA · December 13, 2006, 04:52:00 PM

Nice little guy.
I am still looking for my first trad bow deer.
I've had two close calls in the last two weeks but it's been too dark to shoot.
Hopefully soon.
