Is your stable set for the coming season?

[smokin joe]

Was going to go 1970's trad and use my old stuff with both primary bow and back up bow being Bear recurves from the 1970's and using Bear greenies on wood POC shafts, and old Bear bow quivers. But it looks like I will have to take most of the season off to rehabilitate a bad knee that is getting surgery real soon. Too bad, I have been shooting well. It looks like old age is catching up with me. Things are falling apart a little too quickly -- getting old is not for wimps. Maybe back in the woods in late season if things heal quickly. If not, I'll be back better than ever next year.
Have fun out there!

Sorry to hear about your upcoming knee surgery I sure hope everything turns out well!  Heal up and count your blessings you are still breathing.  Just a thought...you don't have to walk far to get a shot at a deer. Maybe you could build a ground blind with a nice comfy seat close to where you park and start feeding a little corn to get them close to ya.

My friend had his knees replaced when he was 75 years old, and was back hunting in a few months. He just took it easy and enjoyed the warmer weather more. I'm going to be using my 54" Bob Lee one pc hunter 46# @ 28 I have been shooting that pretty serious lately but I have a couple Grizzlies for back up. The 50 pound-er I bought from Mcgroundstalker or should I say the one he darn near gave me because that is the kind of guy he is, will see some action also

Shrew Samurai and Woodsman heads.  Simple and deadly combination.

I have a lot of bows running from selfbows to a couple of DAS and Titan recurves.Will start early season with a bamboo/osage bow with cedars while the woods are thick.Later as the leaves fall I will end up with something shooting light weight carbons near warp speeds.  It is all good.  :D
