I got my bow from a buddy in a trade. I've been looking online trying to find any, I mean ANY, info on the bow. I took it to our pro shop today and all he could tell me was that the reason I'm having issues with finding info is because the bow is old. So here's the info that I've collected: Brand : Cabela's Model : Dual Express DE7A Approx Let Off : 65% Adjustment Range : 29"-32" & 55-70# Axle to Axle : 42" Brace Height : 9" If anyone has a bow like this, or could tell me how to get any other info, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Seems it was made by Browning for Cabela's. As for what happened to Browning's archery division, here ya go: http://www.browning.com/customerservice/qna/detail.asp?id=288 And what other info do you need? Seems like you have everything important (draw weight, draw length). Just get it chrono'd with a hunting arrow and you'll know what kind of KE you're working with (if that's what you're worried about).
Mainly, I'm looking to see what's compatible with it so I don't spend money on things that don't fit/ won't work with my bow
As in accessories or arrow type? I think any kind of accessories should fit. I dont think much has changed in the way things mount to the bow. You're going to want a heavy arrow though. The bow is old and probably slower so a heavy arrow will wok best.
How do you gauge how heavy an arrow is? I have a couple of 31" carbon arrows that I'm practicing with now.
Do they have any numbers or any brand/model on them anywhere? You'd need to know the grain per inch of the arrow - that'll give you weight. Also need to know the spine measurement - that relates to how stiff the arrow is.
