Archery Supplies Open Saturdays - Archery Supplies has recruited new staff Dennis, Kelly and Mark. With these extra staff Archery Supplies will reopen on Saturdays and the 18metre shooting range will be open. Range Shooting Fees $10, Hire + Shooting Fees $20.
Shooting the PSE Money Maker - The PSE Money Maker was designed to be the best shooting target money can buy. I was designed with the aid of the top PSE shooting staff, as a result two wheel options are possible, the single cam and the hybrid cam. What cam is better - well the PSE staff shooters can't decide either with half choosing one and the other choosing the other. The Money Maker as had instant sucess in 2008 with PSE staff winning major shoots with major prize money. But what is this bow like? On Sunday I thought I would put one together and try it out.
The bow is light and the grip is comfortable. It is a little strange that bow pondage is adjusted by the four limbs independently, however I do see the advantages with this system (minor modifications are easily made with cam lean). Each limb is independently locked, which is great. I bolted on a PSE Hornet arrow rest sells for $39. The rest locks on to the riser and is easily set up. I screwed a sight and stabilizer on, attached a D loop and when down to the range. The draw is easy and the ancor is solid. I shot 6 shots the draw was about 1-2" to long and I shot a nock off. Attaching new modules to shorten the draw was easy, no bow press, just two allen keys adjust the draw stop post and I was ready again.
The bow felt much better with the correct draw length and the arrows smacked straight on top of one another. So I really needed to see how well this bow would shoot. I grabbed a peep sight, put the bow in the press and parted the strings. The PSE string makes it easy to fit a peep with the two colours. I went back to the range and shot again. The groups are amazing all in the gold at 18 meters and another nock shot off. The bow is easy to draw, anchor and aim with and it hits the mark no question, however I am left a little bored. The bow is queit and has little to no vibration, however it feels like target bows from 5 years ago. There is no question in my mind that this is an excellent shooting bow, however it does not give the same rush as shooting a PSE Xforce or Bowtech Airbourne. The single cam version of the Money Maker has a smooth draw and positive draw stop, which is worth considering.
In summary I think to truely test the PSE Money Maker light target shafts, would be worth while, however the big question is will I be buying a Money Maker and the answer is yes. In the end of the day if you are shooting dots you need to hit the spot and you need a bow that will enable you to improve and the Money Maker is one of the best bows ever. Nathan Brooks how shoots a Money maker uses Viba Check Stabilizers with Vbars and I think this combination is worth investigating.
