What is your set up?

[Recurve7]

I am currently shooting. "Blacktail Sitka " Cocobola/myrtle woods, 52# @ 28". Arrows most of the time are aluminum 2216's, with a Zwickey " no mercy " on the business end. I also shoot cedar shafts on occasions. A " Steven Catts " side quiver is used when stump shooting. Great Northern strap on quiver used for hunting. A seal skin (hard to get ) rest along with " muskrat " silencers completes my setup. At 7.5" brace height she is quiet and deadly!

[Kenny Henderson]

My set up is a 60in Black Widow PCH 49# with 30in Easton Legacy 2117 arrows with Grizzly broadheads.

[Cavscout9753]

Currently, HHA Wesley Special. Doug fir arrows with 160 grain Hill heads on them. Quiver by Soap Creek.
Still working on picking up a self bow, so it may change, but even if I do - I know there'll be situations that I'll prefer having my Wesley with me.
 

[BRONZ]

Fox High Sierra 46# @ 28" GT 3555 100 gr insert 125 gr Magnus Snuffer SS. I've collaborated with OneStringer a few times over the years on my wraps, but all else is the same.

   
   
   
   

[DanielB89]

lets hear about some more set ups, fellas.  

Shooting a 35/55 our of a #71 bow seems crazy, but if it works, it work!

[jabodnar]

Fedora Extreme 62" 55# @ 28.  I pull to 31.  Never measured, but I would expect the poundage at my draw length to be in the low to mid 60s.

Picked this up used on tradgang a couple of years ago.  I've always wanted a fedora ever since I saw an interview with them in a magazine when I was a kid.  I modified the grip to fit my hand better and wrapped it in beaver tail from big jim.

I shoot full length Carbon Express Heritage 350s.  125 grain Magnus Stinger.  Standard insert with 70 additional grains of screw in weights behind.  Final arrow weighs 625 grains.

     

   

[Cavscout9753]

Going to work on this McBroom ASL. Cedar lams, brown back and white belly. 48# @ 26". Same douglas fir, 160 grains out front.
 

[catman1]

A Roy Hall 50#@28 Navajo 3pc TD longbow 18" riser. 145gr out front with standard inserts GT 3555 hunters, 5" Shielded feathers.

American Saxon Longbow 55#@28 it shoots the same arrows just as well.

[Biathlonman]

I've got a pile. I draw right at 29" and arrows are 30" bop.  All have SBD strings, and Thunderhorn quivers.
1. 58" Toelke Chinook T/D, 51@28, 80-85 Surewood with 145gr. Broadhead.
2. 60" Toelke Chinook, marked 44 but pulls close to #50 at my draw length.  GT5575 with 250 grain point.
3. 60" Griffin T/D, 47@28, 65-70 Surewood with 160 grain point.
4.64" Mohawk Longbow, 52@28, 65-70 Surewood, 160 grain broadhead.

Almost all have a wood, carbon, or aluminum arrow option tuned and ready to go.  All set up subject to change at my whim.

[MnFn]

60" Tall Tines 55#@28"  Shooting 70/75 Douglas Fir with 190 Grizzly SB.

60" Blacktail 53#@28"  Shooting 62/63 Sitka Spruce
with 160 grn Stos. CE150 with extra weight up front works also.

62" Tall Tines 51#@28"  Waiting patiently for some 65/70 Douglas Fir.

My arrows are all about 29" give or take.

An embarrassment of riches. I really like all three of these bows.

[CoachBGriff]

I'm currently shooting a Hoyt Dorado, 55# @ 28'' with a 29'' draw.

I'm shooting black Axis 340's with 75 grain inserts and 150 grain stingers on the end.

However, I just ordered a new Widow PCH X, 53# @ 28'', so I'm hoping to be shooting that ASAP!

I'm going to be shooting 340's out of it as well, but I may have to play with the tip weight a bit.

[A Lex]

Set-ups as follows:

My go-to hunting bow
Blackwidow PLX longbow, 75lb @ 28"

Standard hunting arrows (875 grain)
Surewood Douglas Fir #95-100 shafts
235 grain Grizzly Kodiak broadheads
3x 5" Trueflight feathers

Serious Buffalo hunting arrows (1030 grains)
Forrester Red Balau #110 shafts
235 grain Grizzly + 75 grain Woody Weight (310 grains)
3x 5" Trueflight

My play-time or form bow
Blackwidow PLX longbow, 55lb @ 28"
Normal arrows (660 grains)
Surewood Douglas Fir #70-75 shafts
160 grain points or blunts
3x 5" Trueflight feathers

Both shoot way better that I can, but I really REALLY enjoy using them.. Do shoot the 75 much better though.

[Slickhead]

50 lb Martin Savannah
Easton 2016 arrows cut to 29"
125-135 grain head

[DanielB89]

anyone else care to share their set up?

[NEB]

I am one of those crazy people who like recurves and longbows.  So, right now I am in a transition to recurve from shooting longbows last year.  My transition bow is a 60" 58# Maddog 50's style recurve with walnut riser and maple limbs.  It is a great 'tweener bow.  I am shooting 29" 65# hickory shafts with 125 grain field tips.

[Petrichor]

55lb grizzly and 45lbs ausable both shooting 55/60 spined poc with 125 grain points. 28 and 1/4 inch shafts i only draw to 26 so 52lbs and 42 lbs.

[screamin]

17" Morrison ilf riser, medium Border hex6.5 limbs, 53@29. 30.25" Easton Axis, or FMJ 340's, 50gr insert, 200gr heads. screamer...

[Sam McMichael]

Following my shoulder surgery, things have gone better than expected. I am back shooting my regular bows again. I am trying to work in a new Northern Mist Shelton in yew. It is 68" long and pulls 53# at 28". I only pull 25", so it likes light arrows. I prefer long arrows, so 29" cedar with 50/55 spine and 125 grain points are working pretty well. I am also working with 55/60 spine fir shafts and can't quite decide which I like better.

[hybridbow hunter]

I use mainly 3 set up:
A "short" and light poundage recurve: either Toelke lynx recurve  60"  or caribow  tuktu EX 62" 57-58# @31" for winter / mountain hunting in my country as well TS/ small blind use. Arrow is full length GT velocity .340 or beman pro hunter + 50 gr brass insert 280-300 gr BH in the 650 gr range.
Works quite fine


     

       


       
     

     

African plains game set up ( i am unfortunately an african hunting addict) 64" border black Douglas 61-62# with .300 either beman pro hunter + 300 gr BH (660 gr) or now black eagle deep impact with steel outsert and 300 gr BH (730 gr)


     


   

     


Big game set up as i wish to give a try to this, Is border black Douglas 64" 67# easton .250 axis 500 gr total point including 300 gr tuffhead for 940 gr arrow. Sorry no pics at this time
