After this video I put the peep up by about 1.5 cm then it was possible to use the new sight. However I still think that manufacturers should offer more holes so that archers dont have to keep the peep so high. With my smaller head I would prefer to have the peep a little more down.

I went the other way --from compound bow to recurve and now Turkish horse bow. Simplest of all. I made hard leather thumb rings and shoot better than all the others

After watching this video I got this bow for Christmas as my first ever compound bow.

Lilly that's a cool bow, that cable will last for years of shooting you only have to replace the string in between the hooks, I grew up with a bow like that.

[@troypetherick5628]

That was just like the old school bows i used in the 90's. The thing about the finger release and the old beast pins is that they are almost bomb proof. I've had releases freeze on me in late season deer hunts. (Late December in Canada) Nothing is worse than dropping your bow due to cold hands and iced rope. From a prepping stand point, if you have to hunt for a meal you want your equipment to work in any weather. Great video by the way. Makes me feel nostalgic. Might have to get my old bow out and shoot it a bit. Have fun with it,they tend to be pretty forgiving with arrow weight and size.

Great video! First Blood part 2 is my favorite archery movie! I bought the American version of this bow from Amazon, a few years ago. I ended up returning it and getting a Samick Sage. Have preferred recurves, since.

[@daveeagling9372]

Hi Lilly. I’ve been shooting the same bow since March and I love it. I target shoot with mine and fitted a recurve target sight which works great but no good if you want multiple pins of course. My bow became a little rough on the draw after a while so I changed the cable slider for a Limbsaver teflon slider which works brilliant and separates the cables to. I think your nocks may be set for recurve so you may need to rotate them so the fletchings clear the rest. Enjoy the bow, I think you’ll really like it.

Hoyt actually made the "Rambo" model in the mid 80's. lots of people still shot them with releases. Avg bow length back then was 44+inches axle to axle..

The wheel/ cable system on that bow is exactly the same as the old Bear Black Bear hunter which I have used for over 20 years. In my opinion, it is superior to more modern bows which are far too complicated. I don't think you'll regret your purchase.

4 turns out from tight is 30 lbs. The slots are the draw length. I bought that bow loaded with everything and great sights (the one u don't like) for $202 Canadian dollars. It's an excellent bow for the money. It's make is called SAS the one I have but it's the same bow!! I love it with a D-ring and trigger. It's great!! The cable is steel it won't brake for a long time and you only have to replace a Short bow string.. it's very accurate at 100 ft and very powerful, passes half the 30" arrow through a 5" thick straw target.. I love it!! Only thing I don't like is the peep sight it never is perfectly straight. I put a yellow dot on the bow string with paint and it's perfectly lined up with the center of the sight u don't use.. it's well well with the money..

[@francoisvermaak1764]

Lilly. To compensate for the modern site that's off try playing a little with the position of your peep site. You should be able to put the modern site on without too mush hassle . You don't have to move it by much, combine this with moving your knocking point and arrow rest you can always re-paper tune the bow.

Need the exploding tips now

[@edi9892]

Bullets could be used as a trigger. The question is how much explosives you can pack on an arrow...

[@VH-ew7oq]

That demo ranch mad lad took 2 different magnum pistol casings, filled them with tannerite and slipped 1 over the other on the end of crossbow bolt and shot it. Doesn't do much more than make a loud concussion but still pretty sweet.

[@edi9892]

@@oldmanx1234 it doesn't look that hard to me, except you make your explosives yourself. The system could work for instance with a large caliber round that had been fired and you replace the primer. There are kits for refilling rounds in the USA AFAIK. Then you'd need to glue a tube slightly larger than the arrow shaft next to the primer. For stability reasons it would be best to have it flush with the casing and put a band over both. On one side, you'd need to insert an arrow shaft with a short striker and it should fit snuggly so that it needs quite an impact to push the striker into the primer, else it would explode during launch due to inertia... The other end would need to be filled with a high explosive and sealed. That's it. However, since the brass is heavy, cutting it down and replacing it with plastic and ideally a 3d printed aerodynamic shape would be highly recommended. However, in that case, the plastic needs to be somewhat impact resistant. BTW: if you're a crazy MoFo, you could simply use something like nitroglycerin or tetrameric acetonperoxide without any trigger system... It would not be 100% reliable and definitely not safe, but kids have done that before even without blowing themselves up, at least the smarter ones...

I was looking at the same bow on Amazon from Southland Archery Supplies. I grew up on Rambo too but I'm not a huge fan of the black finish of this model. I am going to get the get the Autumn Camo it's a really nice finish. I plan finger shooting with it mostly so I will use the traditional pin sites and whisker biscuit with a knocking point but I will add a d-loop with peep site, stabilizer and wrist loop that way I can shoot anyway I want and get in the compound game cheap. Whether it's target shooting or hunting. P.S. Just buy a spare bow from Amazon for parts if you need them. It doesn't cost that much.

[@brocluno01]

Good episode 😊 OK, I've been fooling with wheel bows for a while now. All the things you are going through are common to tuning a wheel bow. Generally you can back the limb bolts out either 5 or 6 turns, max. I put a paint dot on the bolt head and one on the limb to keep track of rotation. At least you can adjust your own wheel bows. Modern elliptical cam bows are harder to work on ... That cable will last 25 years if kept clean and out of water (rain & fog OK if dried off after use). The string is the "wear item". I'm with you. I like to use a similar anchor for all my bows, therefor, for sights I like to use TruGlow or Apex round mount sights. With these you can rotate the "arm" in the mount. You can go up to 45* up to 45* down. So that is maybe 75mm vertical adjustment, before you start moving your pins. So instead of using string to tie your hose to the riser, just tie the hose around one of the cables. The hose is long enough for that. If you want a lighter version of a wheel bow, try an older Bear brand bow. Their risers are made from magnesium, so much lighter. You can buy a used one off eBay for

[@paullawley-walker1440]

Hello Lilly, that sight will work ok, but you need to sight it in from 10 to 15 metres away. I've got the exact same bow and setup and at the moment it's my favourite bow to shoot with. I also have another compound bow which I'm not so happy with. But try sighting the pins in from 10 to 15 metres for the first one and then 10 metre intervals for each other pin. Excellent vid by the way and I have learned something else about my bow and setup thanks to you. Well done !!!

[@mikehunt8968]

The cable on that bow is unlikely to break because it's made of steel with a plastic covering. The breakable part is the part with the serving, which is designed to be easily changed...

[@Martinko_Pcik]

It was interesting to see how you are tuning the bow by shooting through paper. Learned something new.

[@alabamaoutdoors4468]

You can position string nocks on cable to hit. Cable guard at full draw for a solid back wall !

[@mateogr1]

If the pins are too low, it means you have to set up the peep sight a bit higher. And the peep sight should be mount to the first cable. The gum is not too short. It' probably even too long if you set that in the right way. But hey! It's great start for the compound bow anyway :)
