    New Bow ????

    I'm cleared to purchase a new bow this fall yea I have to wait till then (Bill have your pencil ready). I have been looking at the Mathews Ovation, Reflex Caribou and the Darton Tundra. I shoot fingers and staying with fingers. These bows match shooting with fingers with the long brace height. I have a question does anyone out there know of anyone who has any of these bows, and how they like them. If possible I would like to make contact with them. Thanks in advance.

    Have you thought of posting your question on the Archery Talk website??

    There must be hundreds of people who could answer your question over there.

    Ovation is a good target/fingers bow long ata and a high brace but still shoots 300 fps and is forgiving. I have a friend that shoots it for target{release} I've tried it and it shoots very nice and smooth.I've never shot a tundra and a guy on Saltspring shoots Darton and really likes how well they shoot.

    Can't wait to see the new bow. Wish that you would become a release shooter but old habits are hard to break. Looking forward to the fall. Start working on the kitchen passes. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeease............

    Oldtimer, the shoot is in Colwood (Vic bowman) beside the Juan de Fuca recreation center, Mike if your wife comes and likes to gamble, the big casino is right across the street from were the shoot will be held. The course is a fun one with some challenging shots, terrain is very easy.
    I will be going to test my new rig, let me know if your coming to town maybe we can meet for a coffee and/or hook up for the shoot.
