Thats a fine looking setup!! those Zwickey Eskimos will do the job.
Put it where it counts and fire up the grill.

As of right now, my rookie setup will be something like this:
2005 Hoyt GM, 43#
- Sword Acusite, Bernies Custom Stab, Unknown plunger/flipper, with Bowjax dampeners, Cavalier Elite Tab
Vapor 2000 arrows, 4x 3" parabolic feathers OR GT 3355 ExpdHunters, 4x 4" shield feathers
Broadheads are 125gr Magnus 2blade Buzzcuts, Slick Trick Mag 125's or 125g NAP Hellrazors
and I've picked out my quiver, I just need to order it.
When I look at, I kinda shake my head... I went and made something that was supposed to be more simple to yet another complex mousetrap - but its a mousetrap that puts arrows into a 6" plate from 30yrds.

My rookie year setup is going like this:
Firefly take down long bow from Braveheart that I bought on the classifieds here.
50 # at 30 which is where I'm drawing it. (it's still on the braveheart archery website. It's the lefty with osage and bacote)
I'm going to shoot 2215 aluminums with 4 x 4 ich parabolics that I ended up with this year and I have a bunch of surewood doug fir bare shafts that I'm going to make up for next year.
Got Zwickey eskimos mounted on some inserts or the Grizzley El Grande 190's both sharp and ready to go. Lookin' like the grizzleys right now.
I made a side quiver out of an old plastic bear bow quiver that is working pretty well so that'll probably be the setup.
Martin deerskin glove. Heading out solo next week so we'll see what happens. I can't wait.

Great set-up, Brian. Cool knife as well. Unfamiliar with "V-Archery" bow. Who makes it?
