Hi Everyone,
My name is Tim Starcovic, just joined your forum and wanted to introduce myself. I live in north central PA and have been bow hunting for 29 years (with some major lay-offs while serving 20 in the USAF). I’m a do-it-yourself kinda guy and even built my own arrow saw and plan on getting a string jig soon to build my own strings. One thing I enjoy doing a lot is shooting long distance, right now I’m comfortable at 120 yards keeping a fairly consistent 12” group. Comfortable meaning that I’m not worried about having to go looking for arrows at that range using my Morrel Outdoor Range bag! LOL… I’m kinda stuck at 120 unless I move my peep and readjust my anchor to get more arrow clearance under my scope.
I just got into competitive archery this summer attending my first 3D shoots (shot a 289 average) and signing up for an indoor 3 spot winter league at my local archery shop (Appalachian Sports) scored a 584 my first go around. I can't hold my hunting rig (HCA Carbon 4-Runner) as steady as I'd like, I’m hoping my new bow will help there.
Anyway, my new bow is scheduled to arrive today, an 05 Hoyt ProTec in Fusion! I've been waiting for it for 2.5 months... and I am FRIGGIN excited!!!!!!!!!
Now... I figure that there is a plethora of bow knowledge and experience here and I’m soliciting advice on outfitting the bow and what to or NOT to do. Following is a list of accessories I have laying around for it, that are by no means etched in stone. I mean, that if most of you say not to use blah but use this ________ instead… I will do just that!
Rests – Bodoodle Pro Lite 560, GKF TKO Target model
Sites – K&K Tigerseye 38 (Sureloc knock-off). (If you want more info Email me…), Copper John Hunter w/Light.
Scopes – Older Specialty Archery 4X center drilled, HHA Optimizer Rheostat w/no lenses yet, and a cheap “Sniper” scope that I like.
Stabilizers – K&K 28” w/rubber coupled end weights (Easton A/C/E VRS knock-off) w/homemade offset bar. 7" Doinker w/Martin wing.
Sling – Paradox
D Loop – Under nock with a tied nock point
Releases - Tru Ball Ultra 4, BT Gold 4, King George Extreme, Cyclone. Copper John Eagle 4
Peeps – Old Specialty Archery super peep w/ an unknown powered lens in it, a good old Fletcher true peep.
Arrows – Indoor – Easton X7 2515, 3D – Carbon Express CXL select 250, Long Distance - ??? I have been using Carbon Express CX 300s.
Fletching – I have 75mm Kurly vanes, 2” feathers, 3” Duravanes and 5” Bohning vanes that I cut down to make Blazers.
Holy heck can I rattle on or what???? OK I’m done!
