Today is the day.......

That I made a choice on what bow to shoot from now right thru hunting season. Any 3/D, stumping or hunting will be done with a 64" Holm Made Goshawk dual shelf R/D longbow. Specs are 44# @ 29" with 45/60 Carbon Express 200 gr. up front with a 2 blade broadhead. Magnus, Ace, Deltas or something similar. Anyone else getting dialed in for the hunt season........???

I'm pretty much ready. I'll be shooting the same old Bear Kodiak Hunter 50 @ 28 that I have used for several years. It is equipped with a Thunderhorn strap on quiver loaded up with Gold Tip Trad 500's cut to 29" with sharp 200 grain Zwickey Eskimo's/steel adapters. I was shooting the other evening when a possum made the mistake of trotting across the back yard. At 32 yards the Gold tip did its business. That arrow stinks so bad that I can't bring it in the house. lol

I should mention that I also will have several ground set ups ready when the time is right. I do love hunting from the ground. Sounds like everybody is getting the urge....lol!

I'm down to two bows for elk season, which for me starts in about three weeks. Have another 3 or 4 bows I'll use for deer after that, dropping down in weight as the season progresses and the temps get colder.

Good to hear you have decided what set up to use this fall, Ron.

I'll be using my Kodiak T/D that I bought a couple years ago. It's the only bow I'll be using untill they spread my ashes on the mountain. I figure I waited 40 years to get it, I've go a lot of years to make up!

Season opens this weekend here. I'll let things calm down from that & then spend a few days camped along a quiet creek.

Good luck Ron. Season opens here mid September but I have not shot my bow since june. also have not set up stands yet. I have however opened up a trail, and hopefully by winter will have this house ready to live in. I will be using my Big Jim Thunderchild as it is already set up to go. Now that I have an indoor range in the barn, I can shoot whenever. soon I will have electric and plumbing out there so I can shoot at night and get refreshing drinks of well water to boot lol.

I'm right there with you, Ron. My set up is 43# at 29" -- a Centaur. I have two different arrows dialed in, a 10 gpp with woodsman 3-blades up front for deer and a 12 gpp with single-bevel 2-blades for hogs. Both arrows are high FOC.
I will have 5 tree stands set up. Deer season opens here in early Sept, but I might wait until the very end of the month to hunt.
