My First Bow
by Macy Spencer
It was only a few years back when I first picked up a bow.
The Destroyer is a big bow. It’s not that light, and it’s not made with women in mind. I like to think of myself as tough for a girl, but this thing was difficult to draw back more than five times. It was set at about 70lbs, which was obviously way to much for me. I practiced and practiced, but being that I couldn’t shoot more than 5-10 times per session, I never was as proficient as possible. If I shot more than 10 times, my form would get extremely sloppy; just raising my bow up to draw back
After season was over, I decided that I needed to get a bow that I was more comfortable with. Lighter and easier to handle. I researched and decided on the Bowtech Carbon Rose, in camo! It’s ridiculously light (weighing in at 3.2 lbs bare), has a very smooth draw and the let off is 80% which makes it easy to hold for quite awhile. That covers the major things I needed in a bow. I am very pleased with the decision to not
One should be exceptionally familiar with their equipment, know how it shoots, what their limits are, and what the bows limits are. That is why I have the Carbon Rose at this point in my hunting life. Make your equipment decisions based on how you work with it and how it works for you. Good luck to all the Avid Huntresses out there this year!
