Title: a question from last year
Post by: thunder1 on December 11, 2011, 12:49:00 AM
Last year I asked this question, When the chips are down and times running out in the hunting season what was your go to bow. The question for this season is, Do you still own that bow, is it still your go to bow. If not then what replaced it.

Same bow as last year and will be the same bow until I am done hunting. My back up bow is identical to my primary bow..

Well I left my own story out.  I don't own the bow I hunted with last year. Heck I can't remember what it was. Throughout 2010 I put together a pair of cheyenne. I don't believe they will be going away anytime soon. I'm now working on finding a pair of longbows for next season.  If your wondering why a pair its because I had some limbs delam. on me two days before opening day a couple of years ago.

Yes sir, and it will go to my grave with me. My St. Joe River is the only bow I have shot that hits where I am looking. It works for me so why change it. It gets a new string and a wax every month. The only thing I wish is that I had found it earlier in my life.

I still have the same three or four bows that I hunt with -- an ACS, a Bear TD , and Robertson, Liberty and Hill longbows.  I guess that's five.  Which I take on any particular day depends on where/how I'll be hunting -- out of a blind, tree stand, ground, etc.  Have a few weeks of season left and I'm still out after them.

Do you still own that bow ??? Yes

Is it still your go to bow ??? Yes

If not then what replaced it ??? Nothing replaced it, but I did add another model bow from the same maker.....two inches longer and with two different sets and poundage limbs.

Last season I hunted with "The Stick", a metal-riser recurve. This year I'm (still) hunting with a Habu.  

I could close my eyes and pick anyone of a dozen of my bows and hunt with it. I've shot every single one of them over the past three days.

My go-to bow for the past four seasons has been a Trad Tech Titan with Winex limbs. Oddly enough, this is the longest I've ever hunted with the same bow as my first choice.

A Cari-bow Peregrine that Abe built for me a few years ago. I have several bows that I occasionally hunt with but this particular Peregrine starts and finishes deer season with me.
