Deer Setup for 2022/2023 Season

[Friend]

Have an ambitious deer project agenda to complete in the next couple of months.
Had some available dead time and decided to develop my intended go-to hunting arrow for two bows this upcoming deer season.

Bows:
Bob Lee Ultimate w/Carbon Cobra Limbs…47@28
CD WF19 w/Uukha SX+’s…..46@28
TimberGhost...Black Pearl G3SS...47@28

Arrow: BE Carnivore 400…150 gn insert…190 gn Timber Shark…29% EFOC…564 gn total…

"CD WF19 w/Uukha SX+’s"..... HUH? 

[Sam McMichael]

I have 3 bows that I intend to hunt with next season. One is my 65# at 28" pull (I only draw 25"). I shoot 65# spine wooden arrows with 2 blade broadheads, razorheads and Zwickey. My second bow is a Howard Hill Cheetah. It is 55# at 28" draw. I use wood 50-55 or 55-60 arrows with 2 blade heads. It seems to like them both. My third bow is my 53# at 28" draw Northern Mist Shelton using wood 50-55# arrows. The Northern Mist bow will probably see the most use, as it has for the last several seasons.

Probably, hunt my 60" MOAB 62#@27" DL plus 3/8", or Big River D/R longbow 65#@27" DL plus 3/8" either with footed tapered cedar shafts and 190 grain 3 blade heads.  Or 62" Kota Badlands 72#@28" and tapered Red Ballau shafts with 170 grain Centaur heads for hogs.

I will be deer hunting mostly with my Primal Tech 3pc longbow. I’m having some weight taken off of it as we speak, and it should end up about 41@29. I also acquired a new selfbow that I really want to take a critter with; deer or pig; it dosen’t matter. It’s right at 40# also.

My primary bow will be my Wild Horse Creek Destiny longbow 64” and 49#
My back up is a identical Destiny but 43#. Shooting cedar arrows from both with Zwickey or Magnus 2 blade broadheads

[Tim Reese]

I have my set up also ready. Will use my HH cheetah with SBD strings and home made tapered cedar arrows with Ace Broadheads. Will use a few others but this will be the main one.

[Bowguy67]

I’m prob dif than most in that I switch time to time. It really doesn’t take more more than a few shots to get the feel of another bow. At least mine anyhow and I take close shots anyhow. Right now I’m shootings a 57lb Robertson primal styk the most but who knows tomorrow. In the past week I’ve shot 3 dif bows. Just something I enjoy.

[trad_bowhunter1965]

I have two new Yellowstone Longbows both are 64"[email protected] and 60/65 Surewood shafts with 160gr Grizzly I have had this set up for the last two and haven't deer hunted them because of the wild fires iin my home State.

[modr]

Schafer recurve, 60”,51@28, fmj 400 with 145 gr snuffers.

[STICKBENDER98]

Northern Mist Skanee, 66" 55# at 28".  Carbon Express Terminators with 200 grain tips up front.  Will be using some blue Zwickey 4 blades with 75 grain steel screw in adapters.

[McDave]

Bob Lee 47# Ultimate, GT Ultralight 500’s cut to 29”, 150 grain Silver Flame broadheads with 50 grain supplemental weight behind insert.  Total arrow weight 430 grains.

[rastaman]

Dan Toelke  3 piece takedown Lynx 62 inch 49 @ 27 GT 500 traditionals cut to 29.25  190grain Simmons interceptors.

[blacktailbob]

Why this one of course. Blacktail Sitka 44@30 We get along better than the others I have. No Mercy on the business end.

HURRY September!

[Whiteoak63]

For me it will be my 58” Toelke Whistler 46# @ 27”.
520gr Easton Axis Traditional with 175gr VPA, 25gr collar and 60gr insert.
Arrow was at 530gr but I got a SBD 6 strand string and I had to trim off some arrow to get back in tune. Thinking the deer won’t notice.

[Tim Reese]

Bob you looked dialed in for sure!!!

[Ulysseys]

Recently decided myself: Black Widow plx, 64” 56@28”, Black Eagle Instinct arrow, Simmons swamp shark heads.

[PrimitivePete]

Debating on either a 58" Kanati 51@28 or a 60" Black Hunter MK1 55@28, both shooting 30" 2219's with 175 grains up front. Did order some Easton 6.5mm Bowhunter shafts to try as well. Both bows are shooting very well, I need to do more testing with broadheads on the arrows to finalize the deal. And on the days when I want to go a bit naked I'll use my Osage self bow I made with Wild Rose arrows and single bevel trade point heads.
I love this time of year and all the fun sorting out the rig.

[SS Snuffer]

Got to say,love all my bows ,but got to say cold 1st shot is always best with the Black Hunter Long bow!
40 lbs. At 28" Axis 500 29 1/2" 300 up front, 200 grn. Grizzly single bevel.
My Kanati is really sweet. It's my late season bow.

[kopfjaeger]

This year I'll be bowhunting with my new to me 1971 55#@28" Bear Super Magnum. I'll be shooting either my german spruce arrows or my 2016 aluminum arrows. I'm not sure which ones yet.
