I'm really liking my Denton Forehead, "Subdermal Hematoma".....she has a bit of a kick to her, but she be deadly.  Kills on one end and cripples on the other.     :eek:

I'm between hunting setups right now.

Got my deer with a 60# Bama Hunter longbow, 31" 2117 aluminum arrow with a 145g Ace Standard and a Thunderhorn quiver. Whiskers for silencers.

Next year I'm thinking...

Same longbow, same broadhead, switching to a Heritage 250 arrow, and a Great Northern quiver.

Definitely going to be using my GFA wool pullover a lot this year and am now shopping for a new hunting stool. Still hunting from the ground in a brush blind.

Hey, cool topic.
I've got 2 favorite set-ups.

Howatt Super Diablo circa 1970 - 60# @ 28" - 2117 Easton - 3 - 5" feathers - Magnus Stinger 125 grain.  I've also got some cedar arrows set up for this bow with Bear Razorheads for special hunts.

PMAV 60" - 57# @ 28" - Carbon Express Heritage 250 - 4 - 4" feathers - Magnus Stinger 125 grain.
This is the "looker" set up with dipped and crested shafts.

Morrison ilf longbow 64" 44#@29", this one has a 20" phenolic riser with a low grip that fits my hand great. As for arrows, I'm shooting 29 1/2"  easton redline 600s with the factory half out insert. I'm using a mild helical fletch with 5" AMG shield cut RW feathers and a 200gr. VPA termanator broadhead for a 460gr. arrow total. I'm shooting this bow as good as I've ever shot anything. Although that may not be saying much!

Always on the ground with either my 50# one piece ACS or 3 pc ACS CX. They both shoot the same wood shafts with a 175 gn ABowyer Brown Bear for a 625 gn arrow.
