I have to admit I'm starting to get the itch as well, been shooting broadheads and climbing the tree at least once a week to put myself in the right frame of mind! This year I'll be going after them with a Hill Country Wildcat - 50# @ 30" - 150 grn VPA up front.

My main set up will be a 60" PSR Black Widow 51 at 28" drawn to around 30". My arrows will be Heritage 150's with a 175 gr. Woodsman elite on the business end.
I have a Centaur that will see a little woods time this year also. Not sure on the arrows for this bow yet.

Good thread! As for myself ill be using my Osage Custom longbow ( maker unknown ) that I won on the St. Judes auction 69" 69 lbs @ 28, with lodgpole pine shafts and Hill broadheads.
Since it has no makers marks ive named it " Childs Play " in honor of the kids.

Love those old Hunters, mine was a 45#er too.
Probably same as last season for me, 64" Kohannah Kurve, around 57# at my draw. Some kinda woodies, old and new...

Maybe an old Pearson Cougar if I can get it all refinished by then. With wood also...

Hoping to maybe get another old Bear to shoot with these now that Jon Stewart gave me some old Razorheads for them...(thanks again, dude!)

Looking forward to time chasing deer and occasional smaller furry or feathered creatures, no matter what set-up I'm toting along.

Primary setup will be the 47# Bama Hunter with a strap on Selway 4 arrow quiver. The arrows for this are 30" tapered Fir. On the business end will be Zwickey Eskimos.
Secondary setup is a 50# Quinn Longhorn Classic T/D recurve. The quiver is a homemade 4 arrow screw in type. I couldn't find a quiver I liked on this bow so I made this one. I'll work on getting a photo. The arrows are 2016 Gamegetters cut to 30", tipped with 125 gr Stingers.
Counting the days!

It's always hard for me to choose because by the time hunting season starts I've usually made at least a handful of new bows.
Both bows will be shooting their own set of Surewood Doug Fir, probably finished around 500grains with something sharp in 160ish grain ... probably gonna go simmons or tusker or magnus ... undecided
This year I'm gonna be between a 58" 44#@26" R/D wooden flatbow shown below.

and a 62-64" all wood recurve, that I'm re-finishing up as we speak with a new set of limbs. Hoping for 45-50#@26". With stabilizer, bolt on kwikee kwiver, and elevated rest.

Secondary will be my Cari-Bow Silver Fox longbow.B&W ebony with gaboon ebony flare and B&W ebony vaneers, 62", 52#@28", it is named "Hopeless" cause I am a hopeless bowaholic,LOL.
Hope to kill something with both on my trip to Texas in December.

It will probably be my 62 inch, 55# @ 28, Silvertip longbow until late season and then I will switch to a 51 @ 28 Silvertip recurve or 50# @ 28 Black Canyon recurve.
Out of the longbow I will be shooting Surewoods with 160 VPAs or 2018s with 175 grain VPAs. Out of the recurves I will be shooting Axis Traditional 500s with 50 grain inserts and 200 grain VPAs.

Wow, you guys are way ahead of me, just getting started mounting broadheads to different shafts for different bows - something in my signature but not sure what yet. Just because I start with one bow doesn't mean I won't switch during the season.

For the first time in 19 years :eek: I will be going in the woods with a recurve instead of a longbow. I won this Bob Lee Recurve on the St. Judes Auction.
58" -55# @ 28". GT 3555's with 150gr. Woodsman's.

I'm out with my 66" Toelke Whip "Majick" at about 57lbs for 29 inches, Surewood shafts, probably the Catquiver 6.5, but haven't yet decided on a broadhead. My arrows fly best with 100gr on the tip, and I'm after mulies, so any thoughts for this, guys?

As requested , here is a pic. of my gear for the year which I won on the St. Judes auction, 69" 69 LB all Osage Hill style longbow. This combined with Lodgepole pine shafts and Hill heads should get it done nicely ( if the deer cooperate that is ) :biglaugh: .

Ah, Moleman, you have my bow.
Nice to see she will be hunting this year. I did a swap with another TG'er earlier in the year, and i noticed he put it on St. Jude's.
I would have gladly bought her back, but if they aren't takedowns, i don't use them.
There are a lot of journeys on that bow, and she has seen some country, and is the most stable and forgiving bow i've ever owned
Enjoy.

Using my St. Joe River "Mojo" longbow. 60 inches long and 58@28. We've taken quite a variety of critters over the last year. :cool:

Wasn't expecting to take this longbow in the woods much, but after a lot of shooting, pretty sure it is going to replace my recurve. Adjusted the quiver a good bit, added a nice Lefties string, and still working on arrows and the business end (arrows too stiff and getting too heavy!)

I will be hunting my Northern Mist Baraga...named "Big Green". It is the only bow I have ever owned that I was compelled to name. I have only had this bow since late spring, but I am shooting it better than I have ever shot before. 60#'s @ 28", 62" long. Most likely, my arrows will be Axis 500's, with 3 yellow BIG 5 1/2" high back parabolic feathers, and a Tuff Head up front.

Hopefully, two new Dryad Orions will be destined for western KY next week. Would anticipate that I will become quite familiar with these two before attempting to develop a lethal set-up.
Can only speculate, however, I envision utilizing a Victory HV 350 in conjunction with a 300 gn VPA.

My backup will be my Robertson Vision Falcon this year with doug fir shafts and 190 Ribteks or 200 Grizzly Kodiaks.

I'm known to flip-flop as the season gets closer but a good candidate is the 50# Vintage Works '59 Hybrid.I have some Victory V Force HV arrows set up,tipped with 300 gr Tuffheads.

For my second year of trad, still in search of my first trad kill, I will again be using my Holm-Made River Runner...60" 48#@28" - Bocote. Woodsman Elite 175 up front (you've seen the pics of what it can do to a bare foot, so I will spare you this time) :biglaugh:

As for the actual shaft.....that depends on what I have left in the quiver come opening day! Between breaking an losing, this "skill development time" is getting costly!

Plan on opening with RWH for starters, then a Fred Bear signed Tigercat, mixing in an A Mag and a green striped Kodiak TD. Depends on blind/tree stand choice and deer/turkey. Less than two months away!

This is a no-namer I bought off another member this month for practically nothing because of the poundage. Not sure who made it. He didn't know either. It's 75# at 28" and my heaviest bow by far. I just got into heavier bows about a month back and am pulling it great.
The arrows are Heritage 250s with Vintage Archery 150g inserts and 145g Eclipse heads. Arrows come out at 725g with tubes.
The quiver is one of my Dad's (Ripforce) homemade Birchbark Rovers. A special one he made for me.

Then there is always my old Martin Mamba just under 60lbs at my draw I'll be shooting some Kustom King pre-finished wood shafts from her this year and No Mercy Zwickeys out of her.

Hey awbowman,
Isn't that a pic of a classic Whip not the Super D?

Never seems to be enough time when it comes to bows. I never wanted to be a collector. My search has always been hunting related. With that being said there is always a couple bows that catch my attention.
Travel cost, license fees, hunting fees ect. I would rather hunt than collect and stay home.

I'm a little late but here it is! I finally have been getting to shoot it. My arm is all healed and shooting is coming along nicely! I will also be adding an EFA three arrow quiver and some 150gr four blade Magnus Stingers to this when I get a few extra bucks. Can't wait to get out in the woods.

No pics. but I will be shooting my Caribow Tuktu EX 54#s at my draw. I am shooting Heritage 150's cut to 29.5"s with a 175 grain VPA 3 blade, they will be in my Thunderhorn strap on or my Kanati quiver. We open Oct. 1st. which I hate. Too early as far as I am concerned but I will hunt a few days but won't get serious until Halloween! Shawn
