I will be shooting my belcher ILF 15" riser with either a set of Belcher recurve limbs or a new set of Border Hex 5s. Both around 53#s at my draw and shooting 500 spine bemans with 190 grains up front and look out 7.5 grains per pound!! Getting close to 220fps and great penetration and that is with the Belchers, hoping to have the Borders by than! Shawn

Gonna start with the Mohawk and when I get one with that will start going through the 3 HH longbows and get one with each of them, then the Black Widow PlX with which I have already made meat in the past.
My Wes Wallace will not be here in time for 2011 but will be first up in 2012.
at least thats the plan.

Yep, my mind is made up.
It's going to be a '62 Bear Kodiak that I recently picked up and am going to do a complete refinish on.
Either that or my RER LX.
Or maybe the Damon Howatt Super Diablo.
Although I sure do like shooting my '68 Bear Super Kodiak.
Never mind.
That question is too hard.

Since all I own are Pronghorns, it will be a Pronghorn, most likely a longbow. I do need to dust them recurves off though.
I'm thinking my 60" one piece, 59@28. But, maybe my new one if it gets done. It will be a 58" T/D, mid 50's in weight, foam core Pronghorn.
Tough one to decide. :dunno:

It will be my Blacktail Elite TD. I have a couple other great recurves but nothing shoots as consistently for me as the BT. Of course I shoot it most often so the intrinsic fit and frequent shooting complement each other.

Saluki Ibex 62@28 or Centaur carbon with the same specs.
The Centaur is more stable and probably more durable but the the Saluki is so quick that I have a hard time adjusting to other bows.

Actually, (I'm going to get kicked out of a club here) I thought it would be a Silvertip. I bought a Habu off a fine Trad Ganger this week. Sooooo different from any recurve I own or have shot. This one may be IT.
