 Re: Thinking bout buying new bow
Did alot of looking online last nite. Anyone shoot an Innerloc Hydro Strike? I like the osprey but its kinda strange looking how do they hold up getting bounced around in the boat?

 Re: Thinking bout buying new bow
I'd get an oneida or a recurve. I never really liked shooting a compound.

 Re: Thinking bout buying new bow
I've shot most of them. I personally own a fire eagle, fishhawk, and barracuda. Out of those I love my fire eagle, my next one will probably be an osprey, for weight, penetration, and smoothness, you wont find one better. I also like the hydro strike 2. The original hydro strike is heavy.

 Re: Thinking bout buying new bow
I do not like the hydro strikes. They just feel unbalanced in my hand. I have the fire eagle and barracudas and love both of those bows.

Dam crews that 2 times in a month I think we agree on something!! Lol
I don't know what kind of real you shoot but if it's a spinner buy you a muzzy cause you can get all the replacement parts from backwater!!

Gotta watch it with a reel though, they're faster but don't forget to push that button!

Terry, I'm talking about the string breaking and seeing your arrow keep going. Or worse yet, they say if the string doesn't break, the arrow comes back in your face! Never seen that happen myself, but I have lost some arrows!

I shoot 200 lb fast flight and it will break the string besides with safety slides you can eliminate that I keep mine right at the real if you draw and the button aint pressed it will pull arrow of rest!! After I switched from ams real I forgot a few times now I really never forget!!
