[Petrichor]

Alrighty gents and ladies. Whatcha takin in the woods this fall?  Let’s see the setups! Bow (feel free to include woods and poundage), accessories, and the quarry of choice. I know this post comes every year but I love looking at all the setups.

What’s up with the draw weight range? You have multiple HH selfbows? Pics?

I’ve heard good things about the Mesa. Any pics of it? Thoughts on it?  Seems very reasonably priced.

Pics are attached above. Ive shot a few trad bows over the years but its been a long time since the last. This is the first one ive actually owned, and i have zero complaints so far. Build quality to me seems nice for the price, smooth and quiet. I love it so far, probably have 300-400 shots so far on it. Only complaint from me would be factory string, it does the job but stretch is still there.

Seems like a nice setup!

Love it. Shoots point on with my PSA III….my other mistress…but she needs to be refinished.

Would put it up against anything in North America….if I had the money for all that.

Ha love the confidence. That’s key in your hunting bow!

Pull a bow down off the skinning shed wall or make a new one. Whatever suits me that day or week. Taken 68 whitetails since Oct 1st 2015, On Numba Sixty Nine. Keeping doe numbers in check has become a full time job. Few years back I arrowed 20 that season. Gettin to that point where I will have to put the warrant out them again.

My set up never really changes. I have 2 bows of identical specs that are my primary selections. I also have one other bow that is on deck for back up. My main tools are Northern Mist Shelton bows. Both are 68" long and pull 53# at 28" draw (I only pull 25"). My arrows are POC with 125 grain heads by Zwickey and Bear. My other bow is a 55# HHA Cheetah, also shooting wooden arrows.

[BAK]

I'll likely be using two approaches.  A BBO 48# with a new set of Doug fir arrows, or a an A&H 47# bow with gold tips, all using Ace broadheads.  I just carry my arrows in a Kwikee attached to my shoulder bag.

As for my game of choice, just what ever white tail comes along in the woods out back of my house.  My "hunting trip"  days are long over.

I am taking a new girl to the dance this year a one piece Yellowstone Longbow 64"47@27'5 60/65 Surewood Shafts with some 160gr Grizzly and 160gr Wolverine broadheads .

[Bruce M]

I’m taking a 1958, 58#, 70” Bear Kodak Special (55# at my draw)with some Doug fir shafts weighing around 600g.

[dnovo]

I’ve got 2 I’ll go between this fall. My 49# 64” Destiny longbow from Wild Horse Creek or it’s matching twin but at 43#. I’ll be shooting cedar arrows with Zwickey heads. I’ll choose between the 2 based on whether my elbows flare back up. The 43# came in handy this spring when my ulnar nerve prevented me from drawing the 49# bow.
