As long as your bow is tuned to proper to those arrows that messed up fletching shouldn't matter at all

well damn. that's a cool idea. I 'll be adding a reference arrow to my quiver. That is way better than packing a bow square all the time.

@fishermandancrook Yes these bows are very quiet and an absolute joy to shoot, I'm working on a Hill style build right now with 3/4" back set, because these more D shaped bows are very smooth and quiet shooting.

I like my Bear Montana. I find it forgiving and accurate but incredably painfully slow. Love to know your draw length and speed of those heavy hunting arrows with a 45 lb bow. Most people I know that hunt with a Montana go 5 lbs heavier than normal. Replace the string it came with and you will see performance improvement. I make strings so am very critical.

I just ordered a 50 lb Montana. What string should I replace the stock one with?

Strange, I have 3. 45, and two 55 pounds. Through a chronograph, they shoot as fast or faster than similariliar longbows. I've been shooting them since 2003. I'm sorry to hear about your bow. Besides, speed isn't everything, but I suspect you need to work on arrow selection and tuning. Properly spined arrows maximize energy transfer, thus speed, too. It is all physics. For what it is worth, I shot heavy arrows.

I have been shooting longbows since 1974. So pretty much been there and done this or that many times over. Damn! 50 years, and I am still learning, lol.

I currently have the Montana in 55#. I love this bow. I’ve seen you had a Black Hunter before. I’m thinking about picking one up. May I ask out of the two. Which one do you prefer?
@BigRigOutdoors Жыл бұрын
The black hunter is easier to shoot (more forgiving) but I prefer the Montana its just fun and smoother draw.

Great shooting and excellent tune...those arrows were flying very straight to the target!! I have been toying with the idea of getting a Bear Montana, and now you have pushed me over the edge 🙂 Just wondering how the hand shock is for that bow?
@BigRigOutdoors Жыл бұрын
There is a little bit not much about the same as a more extreme reflex deflex longbow. The bear Montana is a fun bow to shoot, but a little slow.
@tomellendorf7236 Жыл бұрын
I shoot the montana incredibly accurate. However once the honeymoon phase wears off.....it has an incredible heavy hand shock even with 14gpp arrows and brace height tuning. I shot two of them for 3 years but had to hang them up as the shock transfers to the elbow/ shoulder regardless of grip or hand position. This bow gets good reviews because it is made by bear archery- if it was made by anybody else it would get trash reviews for shoot ability. There is far smoother shooting longbows for less money .

I usually make my own strings, but when I got this bow I started shooting it right away and found my arrows from one of my others bows tuned perfectly out of it as is and just didn't want to mess with changing anything and I was just being lazy and don't want to make another string lol.

The Crucial Warning: Never Shoot a Bow and Arrow with Houses in the Background In the serene pursuit of archery, the ancient sport that connects us with our primal roots, there lies a crucial warning that should never be overlooked: never shoot a bow and arrow with houses in the background. This seemingly simple caution carries profound implications for the safety of both archers and those who inhabit the structures beyond the archery range. Archery, a discipline dating back thousands of years, has evolved from a survival skill to a competitive sport and recreational activity. Its timeless appeal lies in the synergy of physical strength, mental focus, and precision. However, the tranquility of this pursuit can swiftly transform into a perilous situation when archers fail to consider the potential dangers associated with their chosen backdrop. The essence of this warning lies in the unpredictability of the arrows' trajectory and the potential collateral damage that can occur if a misfire were to happen. Arrows, propelled by the tension of the bowstring, can veer off course due to factors such as wind resistance, equipment malfunctions, or human error. When houses become part of the archer's backdrop, the consequences of an errant shot can be disastrous. Houses, with their fragile structures and the potential presence of occupants, are ill-suited to withstand the impact of an arrow. The sharp projectile, designed for penetrating targets with precision, can cause significant harm if it were to strike a window, door, or even a wall. Moreover, the risk of injury or fatality dramatically increases if a person happens to be inside the dwelling at the time of impact. Consider the scenario of a novice archer practicing in their backyard, surrounded by suburban homes. Without due consideration for the potential dangers, the archer releases an arrow, aiming at a distant target. In a split second, the arrow deviates from its intended path, striking the window of a neighboring house. Shards of glass scatter, and the arrow lodges itself in the living room, posing a threat to anyone inside. The importance of establishing a clear and secure archery range cannot be overstated. Ideally, archers should practice in designated areas, such as archery ranges or private properties with sufficient space and safety precautions. These locations are equipped with proper backstops, targets, and safety measures to mitigate the risks associated with stray arrows. Furthermore, archers must be aware of their surroundings and always conduct a thorough assessment of the shooting environment. This includes considering the proximity of buildings, the direction of prevailing winds, and the potential for obstacles that may interfere with the arrow's trajectory. A comprehensive understanding of the archery range ensures that archers can enjoy their practice without jeopardizing the safety of themselves or others. In essence, the warning against shooting a bow and arrow with houses in the background is a reminder of the responsibility that comes with practicing archery. Archers must uphold a commitment to safety, both for themselves and the communities they inhabit. This cautionary principle extends beyond archery ranges to encompass any setting where the sport is pursued, whether it be a backyard, a field, or any other location. To conclude, the allure of archery lies in its combination of skill, focus, and precision. Yet, with this pursuit comes a profound responsibility to ensure the safety of those in the vicinity. The warning against shooting a bow and arrow with houses in the background serves as a poignant reminder that, in the pursuit of this ancient and captivating sport, the welfare of others should never be sacrificed for the thrill of the shot. By heeding this caution, archers can enjoy their practice in harmony with the world around them, preserving the timeless tradition of archery for generations to come.
