Chuck Adams Record Sitka

[Swamp Fox]

This is worth a few minutes:

OL: What bow and arrow setup do you use?
CA: I still shoot a compound bow with my fingers, not a release. I just enjoy it more. I feel like my brain is connected to the arrow. If I do say so, I’m a pretty good shot with my fingers and I really don’t need the extra paraphernalia to take animals. Due to the short axle-to-axle designs and high let-off of most contemporary compounds, I’m somewhat restricted for shooting with my fingers. I shoot a custom Hoyt with a 75-pound draw weight and 50 percent let-off. I also like heavy arrows. This year I was hunting with Easton XX78 arrows that weigh over 600 grains part of the time, and Full Metal Jacket arrows part of the time that weigh about 500 grains. I use the G5 Striker and Striker V2, I really like those replaceable-blade 3-blade broadheads. It just works for me.

Plus, he prefers Sitka meat to all others ... And there's a new velvet category at P&Y (Who knew?)

So when he releases, is his gray matter sucked out through his ears/nostrils at 300 fps?

After 23 hours plus or minus, I guess I should ask: We'e still talkin' archery here, right?

I'm gettin' old. This one actually took a minute to sink in. Excuse me now, I think Matlock is on....

I'm guessing more like 240, but I haven't done the m̶e̶t̶h̶ math ...

Chuck is a human time capsule.
