I said "that's it!" I went and bought a new bow (not easy for a poor college student). The bottom limb hit the branch I was sitting on and the bow came unraveled. Drew back and shot a practice shot after my hunt. The next fall I was sitting on another limb. Followed a scant, then disappearing blood trail for a little ways. It must have been held in the deer just by the hide. I got literally a couple inches of penetration, probably into the top of the ribs just below the backstraps. (1986) Design includes round roller wheels on each limb with the cams in brackets on. Jennings Compound Bow Kit (1989) Prototype cam test bow. A sight, an arrow rest, a peep sight, and a camp quiver as well. You are bidding on a vintage Jennings FOURTH Generation Compound Bow made in 1972.
It has a up to a 30 in draw length& up to 70 lb draw weight.
The string slapped my arm hard but the arrow still hit but high about half way back and then just flopped down along the side of the buck as he ran off. This is a Jennings XLR Carbon compound bow.
Coast Pilot Manual There is a lot of archery out thereand it isn’t just shooting a bow. I picked an opening, drew, and released as his vitals appeared. Whilst primarily intended for practising engineers, the manual will also be a useful reference for students, procurement specialists and the general reader interested in the use of timber in coastal and river environments. Miraculously, a yearling 6 pointer followed that scent drag right to the edge of that opening! Instead of coming out, though, he skirted the edge just in the woods. I dragged a line of Buck Stop scent to an opening in the woods with a great big oak in the middle of it. Never killed a deer with it but I never really seriously hunted with it. My first bow also back in the mid to late 1970s. Forgot to add, that you will need a bow press to change draw length, but the draw weight is easily adjusted after you take the cable off both of the idler pulleys. If one side of the large eccentric wheel has three slots where the pigtail end of the cable can be put, you can just move the cable to a different slot. But if you don't have any experience with bows I would recommend taking it to a shop to do this, as you may goof up the eccentric wheel timing.ĮDIT: Your bow may have a built-in draw length adjustment, if it was one of the later models. You can adjust the draw length by making the cable "tail" that comes out of the big wheel and attaches to the string longer or shorter. Loosen the allen bolt and move the pulley to a different setting which are denoted by an indented "click" that you can feel, and by some lines that you match up with from the idler pulley to the metal bracket. You can just lift the cable off the idler pulley (keep track of which cable it was because you will put it back on when finished). The weight is adjustable by rotating the small idler pulley that is attached to the riser bracket. Wish I still had it, but I wore it out shooting. That was my first bow one Christmas morning.
