I have been shooting several bows all year. But when its time to hunt, I'll carry my 62# longbow, as I have for the last 16 years.

I've been shooting the same riser for several years but have a new set of limbs that Brandon Stahl of Rose Oak built for me so I've been shooting them everyday. I'll hunt with this rig ninety percent of the time. I usually take one of two Super Kodiaks out for a day or two as well but I'd be fine with just the one T/D.

This is my last season as a "Righty"

I'll be shooting my Robertson Stykbow Purist 56# @ 28" for all of elk season.

Post-season I will begin the transition to LH.

Have a great 2009 hunting season!

Shoot straight, Shinken

I understand those Rose Oak limbs are great. Will have to see if I have any money left over after hunting seaons and order a pair.

It will be one bow for me. My Iron Mountain.  I have practice extensivly with it.  I know it's bad to say, but I havent shot my recurve for the past couple of months.  I am still fairly new to trad gear.(only two years) I am focusing on the bow that I will be using for whitetails. Once a deer steps out, I want instincts to take over to get the job done. After season is over, I will bring my curve back out for some shootn.  Once I get my 1st trad kill, I will eventually dedicate a hunting season w/ my Bear bow.

I have wished that I could stick with one bow.  I have 3 and one on the way.  Will probably hunt with all of them some.

Dave, Great thread. I have it narrowed down to 2 bows right now. A 1967 Bear Cub and a brand new Rose Oak TD. Both shoot great and any stray shots are operator error! I would feel 100% comfortable with either. John

Right not my set up is a Bear A-mag with 50# number two limbs making a 58" recurve. I have a Bear double spring arm quiver on it and I am using wood arrows. Very old fashioned, and full of good mojo.

I think I'm going with My 51 lb fox longbow. My fox breed is a sweet shooter but the longbow just feels right.

I was going to use two, my John Sherman longbow and my Whisperstik 56" 'curve, but another one showed up in the mail today. It's a Ron Maulding-built Big Horn Tamarack longbow and I've been out shooting it all afternoon. Amazing bow! I just may have to let the Sherman sit this season out on the rack and take the Tamarack.

Either way, the Whisperstik stays, for blinds and tight stuff.

Border GL longbow. Not as forgiving as my recurve but I love a challenge! I'll bring the recurve for a back-up bow always.

I shoot a few different bows during the spring and summer. When we get this close to hunting season it's one bow for me. This year will be a "new to me" RER Vortex with a recurve style grip.

It'll be two for me this fall/winter...my two Kwyk Styk 'curves, identical length, quiver, and grips...

I'll start the season with my 63#'er "Timex", and as it gets colder I'll switch to "Cy", my 58#'er...

Well I guess it'll be 3, 'cause I get Miss faith in December...
