I'll be using a Pronghorn 3piece Longbow, 57#@29".  I will pair this bow up with Easton Axis ST Nano's .400 w/ 100 grain brass inserts and 200 grains of Magnus I (160 + 40 grain adapter) for 585 grains of arrow flying at 175 FPS.  Flies absolutely perfectly for me. Steve

I primarily shoot two ACSs -- 56# with 650-700 grain cedar arrows for big critters like elk; 52# with 600 grain cedar arrows for deer size critters and turkey.  Shoot the lighter setup for targets as well. Also incorporate a Bear T/D, Morrison Shawnee and Hill of about the same weights into my deer hunting, stump shooting and 3/D tournaments. Zwickey delta, STOS and Abowyer Wapiti broadheads.

I shoot 50 to 55# at my draw for everything. I shoot wood at 600gr. and carbon weighted to 580 gr. Tie a woodsman on the end. Can you say pass-through
I try not to let my mind wander...It is too small and fragile to be out by itself.

Swagged 2117's and AD Trad Lites with 125 gr Zwickey Eskimos, 160 gr Snuffers along with the old Pearson Deadhead and Schulz Hunter Heads.

For Whitetails its my Groves Spitfire at 57# and Kempf Longbow at 53#. On my western or Canadian hunts its my Kempf Stealth at 58#. Same arrow setup for all bows.
