Vapor « Adventurousbowhunter

The Vapor is the new ILF Riser that Vantage Point Archery have released earlier this year.

I have been testing, shooting and hunting with it for a few months now and Im impressed!

Strait off the bat…as with the “benchmark” of broadheads VPA are producing today, the Vapor is bombproof.
Its built for the serious hunter that values reliability and versatility in their gear.

The Riser is machined from 6061-T6 bar stock aluminum, and is 13″ long. With the versatile ILF to accommodate both recurve and longbow ILF limbs. The Limb combinations available can make this bow anywhere from 52″ to 60″ long. I have it at 58″ and draw 29″

My bow is set up with Recurve limbs, built by Jim Belcher of Sky Archery. (again another bomb proof yet high performance limb build)

There are a few things I really like, Firstly All hardware is Stainless steel, that will withstand the worst weather a hunt can throw at you.

Then the Grip, This is available from VPA in Low Medium and High. Its a locator style grip with a Non slip rubber back, helping keep it warm in cold weather and Slip free in wet or hot sweaty weather. The Locator type ridge feels unusual at first, but I Really like it, amazing how consistent your grip is shot after shot. Which is key for accuracy.

The bow is very well balanced, dead in the hand….and FAST! The speed is the first comment everyone makes after shooting it.

Im shooting it strait off the shelf with an adjustable hard stop. This is just how I like it. But you can put on a rest or plunger…Lots of options here, its very versatile.

I went ahead and put a TightSpot quiver mounting bracket on there and have the quiver that I can interchange with some of my other bows in seconds.

Here getting it ready for the hunt with Jim on 5 Pines. Which was great and my first chance to take it hunting properly.

Never did get a crack at a big buck that week, but killed this Big doe, arrow passing strait through after a nice tight heart shot. Bow performed flawlessly under the conditions, easy to handle in the stand and in the field. Tuning was a breeze, with the adjustable features.
