So what are you hunting with this fall? One of my favorite threads ever year! Let's change it just a little and also mention where and what you're hunting. I'm shooting my favorite bow on this earth, a 40#@28 Omega Imperial (42 at my draw). Shooting pink Nugent blems again with Woodsmans up front.

I'm hunting whitetails in NC and Ohio, then pigs again in FL and GA. All of the above should be very much worried.
What about yall?

I'll be shooting my black widow pch v ironwood. It's 56" and 52@28. It's name is "Colonel", after my grandpa that passed away several years ago. I'm shooting sitka spruce shafts, fletched with some feathers of birds I killed this past spring. The arrows will be tipped with 155 grain grizzlys.

One of these two. Top is my Flatwoods Custom R/D longbow, 64", 47#@28". Gold Tip Trad 600s with 250 gr Tusker Concords up front. Bottom is actually my wife's, but she doesn't hunt yet with trad gear, so I'm going to give it a little woods time. It's a Hoots Custom Lil Hoot recurve, 56", 42#@28". Carbon Express Predator II 3050s with 150 gr screwing Bear Razorheads up front. It's a screamer. Pound for pound, the fastest bow in my house. Oh, and I'm in N Louisiana hunting whitetails, with the occasional pig passing through.

I will be hitting the woods with the only bow that I personally own. It is a 1975 "Grayling Green" Bear Kodiak Hunter 50# @ 28". It is equipped with Bow Hush, Hush Puppies, and a strap on Thunderhorn BOA leather top quiver. I have 6 Gold Tip Trad 500's fletched with green and white feathers to match the bow. The arrows are loaded with 75 grain steel adapters and 125 Zwickey's that are filed sharp. I think it is a nice looking outfit. I will be hunting elk, deer, and pigs here shortly.

Drew a NH moose tag two months ago. Every waking moment since then has been dedicated to the task at hand. Shhh, don't tell my wife and customers. ;)
Two bows will go on this hunt. Leadoff batter is a 1996 Dave Paxton Talon Classic longbow named "Sassy," built of sassafras for the 1996 PBS banquet. (I'm its third owner.) It is 64 inches long, draws 60 pounds and will be propelling Surewood shafts tipped with 190-grain Meathead single bevel broadheads.
Backup is a 1958 Kodiak, 60 inches and 58 pounds. The two bows will shoot the same arrows, so that's pretty handy.
Oh, and a 17-foot Old Town Penobscot canoe. :D

I'm pretty excited about my setup this year!
This is my new PCH X Widow, 51# @ 28" with a 200 grain grizzly up front followed by a 75 grain brass insert on an axis shaft! Should do the trick!

I will be hunting with my JD BERRY Morningstar and McBroom ASL,Doug Fir or Sitka Spruce shafts with Zwickey Eskimos up front and my backquiver made for me from a great guy that goes by the name Bud B.Hope everyone has a safe and memorable season.
-
Same as last year...my rich emery Stik 50@28 with either arrow dynamics 400s with 125 G5 montecs or Easton gamegetters with the same head. This bow is one I'll never get rid of and will never not be able to shoot. My world turned upside down on me last year and when I was at my lowest I realized I had a custom bow by rich that was ready to ship. This bow came to me and gave me an out and a stress relief at the hardest point of my life. I own many bows but this is MY bow
-
Ill hunt my 56" 50@28 Kwyk Styk or my 54" 50@28 Elkheart. Big Jim blems, 29", 500 spine with 175 grain Simmons Sharks and 100 grain insert up front. Onestringer reflective wraps with white and chartreuse 5" feathers (3).
