Thanks for posting the photo KAT. That bear was my first harvest with trad gear. Custom ZIPPER ILF 17" riser, Dryad Static recurve limbs, 45# @ 29" Full length Carbon Express weight forward arrow, 100 gr insert and an ACE standard 2 blade. Total arrow was 600 gr. Shot was at 7 steps.....in one side and out the other.      Let me add this.....the hunt was with Bear Quest #9 right here from this sight, a great time in Quebec!!

My '14 WY pronghorn at Spearhead Ranch. Used my Hummingbird Kingfisher TD longbow, 44# @28 (my draw length), an Easton autumn orange 2117 tipped with a Bear greenie sans bleeder. Didn't go far. That's my blind, background left.

41#@28", 630 gr. arrow 2-blade Zwickey, 20" penetration.

Ooops.  I forgot that I posted here 3 1/2 years ago.  At least my memory still works for the details of my bow/arrow/penetration.  I think I can remember details of a hunt better than remembering what my wife just asked me to do.

Doug...I've had that picture/specs saved for awhile  in a file that I have on bow weight...been a confidence builder for a long time and I'm elk hunting with a similar rig this fall    

[highlow]

The Hummingbird sings again. Same setup as the pronghorn.  

[aim small...release]
