Whitetail-setup?

[buckeye_hunter]

Carbonwood vapor with 2 blade 150 grain stinger and 75 grain brass insert. Total arrow weight just shy of 600 grains. I pull my recurve to about 51#. The bow is 62 inches long FYI.

[hammer08]

I'll be using the same setup that I've used for the past few seasons.

-64" 50#@28" Tomahawk longbow
-585 grain cedar arrow cut to 29"
-160 grain Woodsman broadhead
-5 1/2" right wing shield cut feathers

I've got another setup that I might give a shot this season too.

-64" 45#@29" DonDow longbow
-515 grain cedar arrow cut to 29"
-125 grain Woodsman broadhead
-5 1/2" right wing shield cut feathers

I think both of these setups will work for whitetails or anything else I'll come across in Virginia. I hunt both from a tree and from the ground. I'd like all of my shots to be under 20-25 yards.

58 inch St. Joe River Bow hybrid flatbow, 53@28. 55/60 cedar arrows with 190 grain Ribteks up front.

Arrows come in around 605 grains.

Summit Open Shot climber stand mostly but hunt on the ground late season, or during hard rut in the swamps.

Mine is a cari-bow Wolverine 2 piece "take down" 57@28" 680 grain carbon express "heritage", tipped with a magnus stinger. I will use this set up for all the big game animals here in Manitoba.

I will be shooting a Northern Mist Classic 68" 51#@ 26.75. Arrows will be 28.5" Surewoods 560 grains topped with 160 gr. STOS. Fletched with either real barred 5" LWs shield type cut or yellow 5" shield cut. SafariTuff quiver

[bucksakemmer]

Mine is a Shrew Classic Hunter pulling to 30.5 with a MFX Classic 500 100 grain insert with 170 grain VPA Im good to 30 yards.

[snakebit40]

I will be shooting a Schafer Silvertip 62@28, I just got some surewood firs in the mail so I don't know the arrow weight and I haven't decided on a broadhead yet. I would like to get total arrow weight around 600-650. I'm just doing some searching now.

[longbowray]

Will be using a 66 lb @ 27 hill longbow that 64 in with 2117 @ 28 with 160 gr snuffer head for arrow of 575  this will do the job on elk hope it will work on deer lol

[bryan r]

Hunting a 64" Bamabows Elite Classic, 45@28. Full length Goldtip 3555, 3 5" shield cut, 50 grain brass adapter and 205 grain STOS (160 head, with 42 aluminum screw-in.) 517 total weight.
Summit viper climber, shots around 15 yards.

[kbetts]

60#  62" Kimsha longbow or the 56" Kota I've become fond of.  I'm liking a low wrist recurve.

Arrows GT 55/75 @ 28.5" w/ 100 brass and 200 Razorcaps or Suffers.  Trying some tapered fir and chundo also.  Snuffers or ACE on them.  

Shot is wherever and whenever the switch flips.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Tim, same as last year.

45 lb Big river long bow 64" (I pull it to about 48 lbs.)

30" Doug Fir Arrows with a 130 Stos up front. Total average arrow weight is 679 grains.

[Birdbow]

60" Hummingbird LB, 54# @ 27", casting CX250 pushing Tusker SB broadheads. With steel BH insert and 50gr. brass shaft insert got the weight  up around 575. I like an exit hole when shooting from a treestand and the ability to punch through shoulder blades if the shot is errent.

[WildmanSC]

My setup will be the following:

Bill Stewart MCTD Recurve
62", 45#@28"
Alaska Bowhunter Supply GrizzlyStik Sitka, 29" BOP, 100 gr brass insert, 150 gr Elipse Werewolf Left Hand single edge broadhead up front.  Brace Height will be 7-3/4" with a D10 string.

Or, it may be a Tall Tines, 62", 45-47#@28" with everything else the same.

[Three Finger]

My setup will be:
Woodland Hunter. 58in 48# @28
XX75 2016 with 170g Zwickey Delta upfront.

[3Feathers]

LOOK-OUT WhiteTails the GANGERs are getting ready!!

[DennyK]

Black Widow MAX-60" 53@28 2018's tipped with 145 grain Snuffers. Max shot distance-25 yards.

[Gary Logsdon]

I shoot the same setup for deer as I do for hogs, elk and bear:

Tall Tines Recurve, 60 pounds @ 30" draw
31" Axis N-Fused shaft, 5" "Fred Bear Fletch", tipped with a 300 grain VPA head (total arrow weight 610 grs.)

[awbowman]

I am seeing a pattern here.  I had an old friend that used to joke that DEADER is BETTER!  No sence downgrading from an elk or moose setup.  In my book more is always better and it seems ya'll are agreeing.

[Dave Paradowski]

Holm-Made Osprey, 60", 44# @ 28".
29" 1916 Legacy arrows, 4" 3 fletch with 8" wraps
125gr, 2 blade Magnus Stingers with PDP weights added up front. Total weight-505grs.
I will need to keep my shots wiyhin 20yds.
Best of luck,  DaveP
