My Momma couldn't stop me from hunting this way, so she did the next best thing
She prepared me.  Purchased this and gave it to me for Christmas!





Seems to be a pretty good knife.  It works.

I use a pse bow madness.  Set at 64 pounds.  It's the smallest bow available on the standard compound platform.
28" limb to limb and 32" tip of cam to tip of cam.
I don't have it set up quite right.  Purchased it used.
I need a different string.  This one is woven with white and black, the white likes to shine in my eye through the peep sight.
The tru glo site is the larger style.  Hate it.  I like the little ring with the pins in it.
I do have a tight spot quiver, 150 bucks, worth every penny.  Best quiver on the market.

That is an interesting string set up.
Got any closer pictures? Without the quiver?

Looks cool.  Has the recurve look with the compound tension.

Nice PSE I was testing out a Hoyt at the pro-shot they are getting so featherlight and powerful. I looks like an lold recurve when drawn is a ferrari adjustable set-up I have it set to 65lbs 30 inch draw. She it super powerful and relatively quiet.

What a cool looking bow.  Very unique.

Looks like it has two strings?
Are they regular string or metal rope?

I have not had the pleasure to try one in this style.
Wonder if my local shop can find one.

What year bow is it?

I have always hated those puff balls. When they get wet, they are super heavy and very noisy. I use
limb savers on my Mathews and they work great.  :2cents:
If I cant fix it, it's broke

I use limb savers on my Martin Bengal.
Problem with the pse is that it has the split limbs, so it's hard to get a limb saver on because they are so thin.

I have used the little rubber thingies also.  They work as well as the beaver balls but they break after every couple hundred shots.
I do practice alot.

This pse is incredibly quiet.  Definitely one of the quietest bows I have ever heard.

yes they have both strings metal and regular. The bow is a 98 I believe.

If I could go new I would get the Black Eagle 2 it is a way upgraded version of this bow for around 800 bucks.

Those are really cool bows.
I like how there is only one string from cam to cam.
It appears they have lots of options.
I'm gonna look into this brand of bows.  Very curious.

And I found a funny picture with all of the oneida's
