70" Yew Mahantango longbow with a Wenge riser. 55#@28"  Probably going for a 30" AD lite with about 200-225 up front. Would like to try the Abowyer BH this year.

Hoyt Excel riser 23", Medium Samick Extreme limbs, 59@28.

28.5" Terminator Select 45/60 shafts, 75 gr. pts, 2" Razyr feathers, 'bout 365 grs. total.

Might go with bigger feathers (or Blazer vanes) and a 100 gr. pt for hunting... depends on broadhead flight with lighter points.

Don't lynch me :-)

Wooden handle Bear t/d with 65# limbs, carbon arrows, old green Bear broadheads with bleeders with 100 grain steel inserts. (I have to alter the bleeders so they fit over the inserts).  I put rubber coating that I strip from electrical wire in the carbon arrows.  Total arrow weight with the steel inserted broadhead is 690 to 700 grains; DEADLY!

Same bow as last year Titan riser and a mess of limbs.  Going to have some extra shorts on it for turkey season.  I switched from easton axis to epics, still the 400s.  Then went from grizzlys to magnus 2s

Either this
 
home made aluminum riser 3pc  with carbon recurve and LB limbs. Ihave onlly glued up RC limbs so far. Its 50@28 and really smokes a 625 grain axis fmj with a razoe sharp grizzly and 75 grain steel adaptor. LB limbs will be around same weight and all carbon back and belly with wood walnut core. It will be camo dipped when its done.

or this
 

"old reliable". Last years recurve. I try to build myself a new one each year but this one shoots so well I may stick with it. It's 48@28" and shoots my 625 grain axis 400s FMJs with authority. Ill be shooting grizzly el grandes with a 75 grain steel adapter. When Im done sharpening them they weigh right at 250gr.
