Evening, haven't hunted at all this year or posted here in a while due to life getting in the way. I'm sure some of you know the feeling. With the weather cooling off I'm starting to get the hunting itch again. Long story short I've always enjoyed bowhunting, 3 or 4 years ago I found myself wanting to simplify things. Naturally I found my way into traditional archery. Started out with a newer model Bear Grizzly recurve (which I love), actually killed a coyote with it a couple years ago. Since my traditional journey started I've always lusted after a Big Jim Buffalo longbow. While I've been out of the game for awhile I still keep my eyes peeled and found a heck of a deal over on AT. 58" & 50lb. at 28", needless to say I couldn't pass it up, should fit my 26 1/2" draw well. Couple quick questions for the buffalo owners on the forum.
1) brace height- I've heard anywhere from 7 1/2 to 7 3/4. What do you find works best for you?
2) string material- Is the buffalo fastflight compatible?
3) knock height- I'm a three under guy, any advice on a good starting point for knock height?
4) My Grizzly is 55lb @ 28" and I'm shooting gold tip trads in 3555. Can I tune those same arrows for the Buffalo at 50lb @ 28"?
Thanks,
Eric
