My new Turkey Creek Extreme LB will get the nod. It made me put my Shrew back in the corner...just as quick and 5 lbs lighter.

It was going to be a 60" Fedora 560. Finally came to the realization that I'm more of a 1 piece kind of guy, so it will be a 58", 55# Morrison Dakota with 45/60 Carbon Express Terminators with 100 grain inserts.

Have been shooting a Robertson long bow 63# 66" for the last 5 years but it might change this year.  I have a new Pronghorn coming in next week.  It's a one piece 60# @ 66" bamboo core.  Looking forward to tuning it.

Well this is to easy, it will either be my Big River or my BIg River and later in the Year MAYBE my newest Big River, that will be made soon. My arrows of choice will be tapered douglas fir shafts tipped with 125 Ribteks or 145 Snuffers.  Boy , and people have a hard time choosing!! LOL.

TJ,
I can't believe you're not shooting your Silvertip. If it shoots as good as it looks you can't go wrong. Good luck this season buddy.

Since I only have one bow, I guess I will go with a 15 year old 60" Bruin Huntmaster T/D recurve about 58# @ 28. Along with some 15 year old easton classic 2117s.

I did order some Carbon Express shafts to try out, so I might hunt with them if I like them.
