Early in the season I'm hunting with this Habu, Hycurve. LH, 60", 49#@26".

I have removed the Habu bowquiver and attached a strap to carry around my shoulder until I get in the tree. I have 6 bow quivers and don't like the feel of any of them on the bow.

Arrows are Beman MFX Classics, 500 spine with 125 grain Helix single bevel and 100 grain brass inserts -- total weight 505 grains.

I was sitting on the stump at the bottom left of this photo. About 10 minutes after I took it I had a coyote trot by about 6ft to my right. He never knew I was there and I didn't see him until he was right next to me. I was very happy he wasn't a cougar.

Here she is. 60" Griffin, 47# @28". Missed 2 squirrels with her so far, one of em I missed twice. Sure did scare the fleas off of them though, only missed by 1/8" of an inch on both so maybe we'll do better on bigger critters.
