Looks like everyone prefers lumenoc's. Are you guys that shoot mechanicals getting complete passthru's, seems the few huntin shows I watch very few get them. I kind of have a habit of hugging the shoulder too tight more times than not. For you shooting them which bows are you using, thinking speed ...

I used them on my Bucks back in late 60s with recurve bow cedar arrows and feathers ...They are sharp and easy to sharpen ....
Bear and Zewick were my points ...

Before I went to crossbow I used spitfire 100 in my bear kodiack recurve 45 # bow from 1965 with cedar wood arrows with feathers .... Doz cedar arrows with feathers an d crested etc are $61 Had friend at work drill hole in arrow and I hot glued in the spitfire ... Deadly on Bucks and shot like field...

We all use mechanicals on our Bucks ...I can say if you do not make broadside shot good chance you will hit bone and they will not go in very deep .... We use them on Bears too BUT same thing you hit shoulder its wounded bear ... Most used mechanicals are Rage and Nap ... Many Bucks and Bear I have ...

I was able to get the limbs replaced on about a week but was a little disappointed in the color match as was talked about earlier in this thread. The bow seems to have picked up some speed over the orig...

Had very good use with the Outpost from Dick’s or Field and a Stream. Very reasonable price. Comfortable. Easy to install. Best to have a helper. I will second this. The Field and Stream Lookout Deluxe from Dick's (I have the 16 footer) is by far the best ladder stand I have ever used. A full platf...

I am on my 3rd set of limbs for my micro 335. Last winter, I noticed small cracks in one of the limbs. It seemed to perform fine and I hunted with it the rest of the season. It was still under warranty and the cracks bothered me so I contacted support. Dawn helped me via email. I had to send my lim...
