Same weight and same arrows for everything. Only have 2 bows and both are same weight and tune with same arrows.

Different weights, always use my heavy bows for elk, and early bow season.  Once it gets cold its hard to sit for hours and shoot 60-65#s for me so I'll drop to mid 50's.

Yes of course. It all just helps me get really good/"beware of the man with one bow" kind of thing.

I have a 2-3 lb difference between my go-to LB and recurve but due to the dynamics of each they both end up with the same point of aim. This was not intentional, just a lucky coincidence.

I have bows ranging from 35-55 lbs but for most of my shooting I tend to stick with the same poundage give or take a pound or two.

Same bow same weight same everything. Change usually makes me take a step back from where I was. Ed

Same weight for everything, same arrow too, AD trad lites w/260gr up front.
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Yep, either Ferguson Patriot, or one of 3 homemade R/D Bamboo Backed Osage all the same - 64" ntn, 73# @ 28". Have other weight bows, but that is what I shoot best.

Super Shrew 56@27", Talon Longbow pulls 57@27" and Checkmate Hunter recurve 55@27". The Talon requires lighter spined arrows. 50-55 cedars or 2018s.

I generally shoot the same bow for all hunting and for 3D. 65# HH Wesley Special with cedar arrows.

joe ashton

Yes Same set up for everything.   But I think shooting at rabbits or stumps or carp is practice time for Elk whitetails and bears.

I have too many bows to be able to only shoot one weight, but most of them are 50 to 60 pounds with a few in the 40's and a few in the 60's and low 70's.
