Well, since it's "No-Brains" required...this year it's MY '59 Kodiak!      :knothead:    

   

...with the ocassional carrying of my new Kodiak T/D Supreme 'cause I LIKE IT!!      ;)  

   

...and just for "giggles", and because it shoots so damn well- I know my McCullough 59r will see some action as well!!    :thumbsup:  

 

Aw HELL, right now I've got about 15 "go-to" bows and I plan on going-to all of them at least once during the season!!!      :archer:

This year I will be hunting with a 40 year old Kodiak Hunter 55#. Neat bow and nice to be doing my part by using this fine bow. Seems right, I am sixty five and the bow is forty, to bad I did not have the sense to buy it when I was 15!
Regard’s,
Jim

Mostly my B riser with #1 limbs 46lbs or my 71 Grizzly 46lbs.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, with bible in hand and loudly proclaim...WOW...What a Ride!!!

My apologies to all the Bearmen here, but I go to my 52"  50# Red Wing Hunter. I just never make a bad shot with that bow, and I always say someday I'm going to slim down the grip, and if I ever did it probably would not shoot as well so I don't dare. And yep, with my Wing bolt on quiver. That's when my son's not home. Since he prefers the REd Wing too, I go to my Bear Kodiak 60something 50# and 60". Shoots em really well too. Just more bow to carry

Gosh!!! after reading the previous posts I guess I'll have to commit sacrilege and say I "go to" my PMA widow.  Would love to shoot the Bears but Fred didn't make a bow for knuckledraggers that pull 31 inches.

Bear TD -- My mag A with 50 pound limbs -- seems to be the one I want to shoot the most these days.
