Legends recurve 54# @ 30in shooting a AD 31.5in with a wt of 630gr at 180fps. tipped with a Magnus 125/steele adaptor for a tip.

My backup bow is the Legends Mountain bow --it is the twin to above and shoots same arrow, just different finish.

64" yew selfbow, 47#@26" and a 60" self osage static recurve, 48#@26". Both bows bend through the handle. Shooting hill cane(Arundinaria appalaciana) arrows, 29" with self nocks, tied on hybrid 2 fletch turkey feather and stone points. Average arrow weight is 610gr. I have no idea what speed(maybe 150fps) but at 20yards it doesn't matter.    Pat

Primary - Horne Combo hunter longbow 64" #53@28, POC arrows spine matched #70-73 and weight matched at 600 _+ 5gr., tipped with scary sharp STOS 145gr. carried in an EFA carp skin quiver.

Backup - Treadway 64" #51@28 and everything else same as above.

It is so cool to have two bows shoot the same arrows!
