Can’t imagine having a bow shop where the tech actually helps you tune the bow insane you’re lucky to have that shop

That will wake you up! Glad you had an old timer there to help you out on that one and didn't blow up your bow.

Been there.... Changed out the string/cables on a prime and had to remove the stops to press it. Went to the back yard to start shooting and realized it immediately upon hitting full draw. With no one around, I held the bow at full draw, walked back to the garage, opened the garage door back up with my release hand (thank goodness I shoot a wrist strap), and gingerly set it back down into the press. Bit of a stressful situation lol

You handled it better than I would have. I can feel the pea running down my leg just watching that. 😆

As soon as you said, "Forgot limb stops. Guess it's okay." I'm just screaming at my screen: IT'S NOT GONNA BE OKAY, GREG!!!!! 🤣

I would have tossed it flatly On the ground and jumped simultaneously lol.

Thank you for your service! That is a sick looking bow. I don’t know how you kept your cool I would have lost it and probably dropped it!

As a former resident of the state of Georgia, I do not miss the summers, especially in Savanna! Really cool bow, hopefully your video will prevent other people from this terrifying predicament.

I bought my Vertix there last summer while on vacation in Hilton Head, great shop, great staff.

That is a first for me too see AND I am so glad it was you Greg! 😃😅😱

Roger that! Thanks for the heads up! I've gotta be at the Port of Savannah soon for a business opportunity. While traveling, I always look for archery ranges and now shops! Thanks Bro! Roger that!

Recently saw this bow online. I was wondering about them since I had never heard of them before. Interested to see more.

Tim here from NY. I’ve been to that shop ! My parents live in Pooler !

I just stumbled upon this video but this is the local shop that I go to. Shoutout to Wildcat!

I got my bow set up at wildcat archery too and I love them

Heck yeah I love that shop they made me some really good strings every they knew everything I needed to know and then some great guys

i bought a PSE at cabelas. i brought it him so excited my first brand new bow and pulled it back and this happened. took it back the guy did something to it..i watched him shoot it 5-6 times no problem. i took it home. got it out the next day after work set target up pulled back and same thing. then i returned and bought a used hoyt that's worked fine since..

Had the Gearhead T24 for two years and I love it. As you say - it does not forgive bad form. Fully equipped with all hunting dampner its a whisperer in the woods.

Absolutely. What I know you can get all their "Get a grip" on all of their bows. 👍

I had something similar happen to me one night bow fishing with my Oneida it is for sure a scary feeling when the limbs are locked back and the string is locked back.

"A little pucker factor right there" LOL ... I'd say so! Thank God you were at an archery shop! -Collin

I had a Gearhead T24 that the guys up here in Atlanta left the stops out too!!! For whatever reason I couldn’t get the bow to shoot heavy arrows worth a damn.. Went to multiple pro shops, finally just sent it back and went with an APA King Cobra.. The Gearhead customer service was top notch..

I've seen a bow exploding after cam overturn - changed draw lengh on the modules but not on limb stopper, so it went past the spot and after the shot string went limp for a second like on this bow but after that bow just exploded suddenly. No permanent damage to the bow but string needed to be replaced. After replacing the string and setting bow correctly it was shooting fine.

Do you plan on a follow up video? I want one of these bad!

I was 3-17 Cav at Hunter Army Airfield.

Had this happen on my elite at the shop...but they werent sure what to do next. Lol. Eventually figured it out though. Definitely scary at the moment.

I don’t know what’s cooler, that sick short ATA bow or the assassin hoodie you’re rocking. When will we be seeing that hoodie in the SH shop? I want one dude!

Please give a follow up video to this I’d like to see your feeling on the bow after shooting it for a while!

Hahahha😂 I’m with you chuck it like a grenade and run

I pulled the trigger on mine and it came off the cams. Had the stops in, come to find out I wasn’t keeping it tight to the back wall. Slightly moving my elbow and bam! Nothing broke

How far back was that paper tune??

Exciting

G2 Outdoors, you pulling your bow wrong !!

Did you chrono any arrows? If so, what kind of speed did you get?

How do you hunt with that? That click it makes when you let it fly, isn’t that gonna be an issue when you hunt?

Have you tried shooting an 1/2" steel ball yet? Would love to see some videos of that. 🏹🤠👍

how accurate can this small bow be?

That bow is the prison shank of the whitetail world....close range and drop it in.....I like being able to shoot out to 40 yards...so no way would I handicap myself with a weird bow that makes it harder on me.

3:00 see how much flinch an hand torque!

This happened to me with an Elite. Learn once to remember those stops! Lol What kind is speed are you getting? Might just be me, but it seems to be leaning on the slower side

@flip66five

4 жыл бұрын

Compared to regular compounds they do run slower... Mostly because the power stroke is much shorter.. Im just whipping theoretical memory numbers here but the 18"ata only draws to like 25" or so and you need a purpose designed release to use it(its longer infront of the trigger) add to that a longer brace height and you just dont get the same velocity... Shooting in thick cover, or a small blind though, its right in its element.. They do make longer ata ones that are faster though

Cool looking bow , but it looks super slow ?

Is it possible for you to not aim at the sky while pulling back? And how is the D loop not pinching that knock?

You need to do those limb stops up on both sides

I’ve had this Happen to me. After shooting 3d for a few hours cams just froze in full draw. I just Held it away from my face let it explode in my hand (twss) , I was alone & hooking my release back up never even occurred to me... manufacturer sent out new limbs and cams no questions asked. Was kinda of scary like it happens a lot.

I live in Brunswick!!! I know what you mean with the heat!!!

I guess limb stops ARE, in fact, important. That looked bizarre. What is odd is that the bow kicks upward after release.

Need a stabilizer on that. might stop the way it kick upwarss

Uh probly not the ideal time to start passing out advise after you forget something.. won’t be at wildcat archery anytime soon sorry bro.

Over bowed

I don't get it. dude complains about the heat and still wears a hooded sweatshirt. no one wears a hooded sweatshirt down here unless its the week of cold weather we have every year

Its a rip off of liberty 1 by liberty archery

This pro shop forgot to put limb stops back in and paper turns to far away find a new shop Bro

Nope that bow is no good. That bow is slow. The way they have that handle everytime you shot that bow kicked upwards.
