I'm going to be hunting mainly Whitetails with my 45# Bear Kodiak Magnum and homemade Ash arrows with 125gr Magnus II 2blades. What are you guys planning on using most of the time? Add pics if possible please, makes the post more interesting.   :D

Sorry, don't know how to post pics!  I will take my 66inch Dwyer longbow with 600 grain beman hunters with 220 grain muzzy upfront.  Bow is 43.7 @ 28, I draw 30.5 inches ~ shoot 50 pounds-ish I guess.

Hope to drop one this Saturday.  Good luck to all.

For 2008, at least the half before gun season. I'm going old school to honor Earl and Ann Hoyt. I have set the bow up just as it was hunting in the early 1970's, sans an actual sight pin. The sight bracket is installed on the bow. Actually I am afraid to try and remove it.

1968 Hoyt Pro Medalist Hunter- 50# using POC with Zwickey's shot off of a Neet Pro Rest (which looks exactly like the pro rest sold by Hoyt years ago). I have a 1970 Hoyt catalog for reference.  Earl made a great bow in St. Louis, Missouri.

A Gobbler yelp Spring or Fall is a long conversation.

I'm leaning toward my 53lb Blacktail recurve. It likes 2115's with some of the old green Bear Razorheads which gives me a 530 grain arrow.

GAstumpshooter

I will be using my Toelke 50#, goldtip arrows 125 grain muzzy phantoms and 100 grain inserts.

I'll be using my HH Halfbreed (Chili Maker) 60@29 with some Easton XX75s that I'll probably be replacing after this season.  Broadheads will be Magnus 125 grain two-blades and squirrel/bunny arrows will be sporting Ace Hex Heads.

I'll be going afield with my favorite 1970 Howatt Hunter. I have painted it up camo to get rid of the shiny finish. I draw 31" and at my draw it's around 55#. I'm shooting full length tapered cedars built from Jim Curlee shafts. They are 4-fletched and are tipped with 125 gr. Zwickey Eskimos. I'll be carrying the arrows to my stand in a Catquiver 1.
 

I've owned a number of high end custom bows but pound for pound this old Howatt with a B-50 string seems to outperform most. I have a 66" Assenheimer in route and I may shoot this bow too if it suits me.

Either this Kempf Kwyk Styk or the new one that should be here from Canada tomorrow or the next day.  I had both custom made 58" 54@28.  I shoot tapered cedars from Elite Arrows with Magnus I, STOS, or WW

I love your bow, I also shoot an HS.  

Have you had the bow long?  Where did you get it?

Because they are hard to get ahold of, If you ever think of getting rid of it, please contact me.
