Mike, your talent has not ceased to amaze me.  You got skill son.....

Goina try to start with a Morrison ILF and TT 63# limbs.  650 grain GT 75/95 tipped with Snuffers or Woodsmans.  Problem is I keep picking up my Kimsha longbow and we have developed a special friendship since I introduced her to some 2117's.

I think I will be shooting both my Morrison ILF recurve(carbon/foam) @43# and my Pronghorn TD LB @44#. Both shoot GrizzlyStik Sitkas really well, with Stos or Woodsman heads. Can't wait!

Pretty bows guys.  Mine's a little more plain looking but is the best shooting bow I've ever shot.  Sarell's Sierra and a bison fur back quiver unless I wind up getting a bow quiver this fall...

Good answer Mudd!

I'll be using my new Bama Hunter T/D. 66" and 57# at my draw length.

The arrows are a new setup for me. I bought these from a fellow TG'r and am very impressed at how well they fly. I am now working with different BH's.

Poor photo but here it is...

Thanks, I saw a super K reproduction and could not believe how much it looked like mine,  that was a one piece and would be lighter, which I may like, saw it for sale in the classifieds as well.

Some really nice gear guys, keep the pic's coming

Go to & back up, but which is which? Yet to be settled. I'm sure I'll hunt with them both.
The Saber runs a lower brace & is a little faster, but the Buffalo Hunter is smoother  drawing. There set-up to shoot as close to the same as I could get them.

Bow 3: 1962 Bear Kodiak, bought new and used by my Granddad. I've got a new Kanati Dual Arc and Hawk custom Cedars for it. It wouldn't be right to use anything other than a Razorhead on it. Pic from last year:

no, as long as ALL bait is removed 30 days prior to the season opener you are legal. The bait in the picture was gone withing 48 hours of being on the ground. Camera was removed that same day. Spot is legal and ready to go.

thanks

Post by: beauleyse on September 04, 2012, 09:31:00 AM
I'm shooting both bows very well and I'm kind of on the fence as to which I will be hunting with...The first is my Costal Bend Longbow 65lbs at 28inches and the other is a Martin Mamba 55lbs@28.... Both have done the trick in the past I guess it will just come down to what mood strikes me opening day.

These groups were about two weeks apart from 25 yards. About my max distance I want to shoot so I feel very confident with either bow.

Wow John J! I thought I was the only one with an IA bow! Mine's a Mohawk, 55# @ 28". I may get it out but am thinking about holding out and hunting exclusively with my new longbow. This is my first year in the deer woods with trad gear and can hardly hold my pee!

My Indian Archery Mohawk and Beman MFX Classic 400's, sporting 200-225 up front.

This year, I'm leaving my beloved 68 Kodiak Hunter on the rack. Sorry Honey, I have strayed...
 Since I picked up an AMF / WING Red Wing Hunter 50#, I have not been able to put it down. I'm in love! While the finish is not quite as nice as my Dad's early 60's Rosewood RWH (Houston), it shoots just the same, there is no difference. What a grip! It shoots right where I look. Lightening speed, even with Dacron B-50! At 58" AMO, it is the perfect size for tree stands and stalking in thick cover, even with my 29.5" draw. I picked up some cedar arrows from 3-Rivers, an old school Kwikee Kwiver and some 2 blade 125 Zwickeys.
 Yes, that cool October air is sure going to smell nice this year.
