usually a 68" 52# @ 27" straight limbed bow , flinging tapered cedars or Fir shafts tipped with Ribtek or Hill broadheads that sit alongside half a dozen blunt tipped of the same all with 5 1/2" feathers in a back quiver . My set up pretty much remains the same whether it be rabbits , Sambar deer , feral pigs or pine cones . stalking, walking and stumping with this set up has helped take 19 pigs in the past 6 years as well as numerous goats and rabbits . Where its most success has come from is in giving me the freedom to stump and walk or stalk and hunt , the same set up that lets me play Robin Hood or Bob Swinehart and John Schulz all in the same outing ... lol !!!
