62" 55# Tall Tines Stickflinger
with 55/60 Surewood Douglass Fir Shafts. They seem to shoot best right now. I may bump the arrows up to a higher spine depending on my broadhead choice.

I also have a couple of regular longbows that. attention, but so far, I am not as accurate with them.

Second season with the sharks for me, but no kills yet.

Nice, Caleb.. heck of a hole, those have to be a good head, I just worried about sharpening and penetration but after watching some vids the sharpening seems pretty easy. I’ve always shot Zwickey deltas but did kill a few critters with the old zephyr big Sasquatch. It was a heck of a killing head but unfortunately proved to be not durable enough. I watched a guy shoot the same tree shark into a steel 55 gal drum like 25 times with virtually no damage

Congrats on your first post!

Those Dreamcathers are great bows! I used to have one that was 40#'s and wish I'd never got rid of it.

My 64" South West Archery Spider XL 45# @ 28". Being an old fashion guy (I'm 71) I'm going to try to kill a deer with a broadhead that came with my first box of arrows purchased in 1971 a Pearson Deadhead mounted on a bear wooden shaft from the mid 1970s. When that is used up and the deadhead is still good I will mount it on a 2016.

Ill be packing the northern mist shelton. 53#@28" drawing 27" with some 50-55# rose city poc with zwickey eskimos. Complete different setup than ive ever used and my first venture with a hill style and wood arrows. Im about as excited as a little kid the night before Christmas.

Wannabe1 · « **Reply #71 on:** August 01, 2018, 02:11:29 PM »

Justin, that should make for a pretty deadly combination!

wislnwings · « **Reply #72 on:** August 01, 2018, 06:31:30 PM »

My go to for this season will be my Sunbear Longbow 52@27 (from this year's St. Jude auction), shooting fir arrows tipped with Eclipse 2 blades. My backup will be a Hatfield take down recurve 70@28 (won in a PBS auction).

huskyarcher · « **Reply #73 on:** August 02, 2018, 05:48:13 PM »

Gonna stick with the bow that has the dangdest mojo of any bow I've ever owned. Dont know what Kegan put in its but it's been awesome!

Omega Native #41@28 Black Eagle Arrows, Grizzly broadhead.

I'm one week out from shoulder surgery. Hoping that by the time the season gets here I'll be shooting my 58", 44@28, Black and white ebony Zipper Zipstick with carbon/foam limbs. It really like ICS bowhunter .500s with 175 up front, more then likely made up of a Grizzly bruin 125 and XL aluminum adapter.

Huskyarcher,

Which Grizzly you shooting and what's your arrow weight if you don't mind me asking?

smag · « **Reply #76 on:** August 03, 2018, 08:10:47 AM »

Be a Smagbow just like the one you got Friend. Have a new static selfbow been looking at me saying "please setup some 650grn missiles with some 185grn single bevels to fly off me".

Friend · « **Reply #77 on:** August 03, 2018, 08:48:27 AM »

Smag..a royal beauty you will be toting

MSU · « **Reply #78 on:** August 03, 2018, 08:53:40 AM »

Osage selfbow, about 55 lbs at 28 inches. Port Orford Cedars with Zwickey Eskimos.
