Anyway I am shooting, my greatree deer master 55#@28, with Beeman ICS bowhunters, with 100 grain brass inserts, and 100 grain thunderheads.  The only difference between my set up is the broadhead, I use 100 grain stinger 2 blades for deer.  And I leave the bow alone, but during turkey I switch broadheads and I cover the limbs with some homemade leafy covers

I'll be using the same setup I use for everything else, except I'll switch out my ILF long limbs for medium ones.

TradTech Titan riser and Winex limbs pulling 56# @ 32". Full length Beman ICS 340s tipped with 125-grain Ace Standard heads.

I'll be using a TT Black Onyx riser and TT Black Max limbs that are 50# at my draw. AD Trad Lites cut to 29.25 with 100 gr brass inserts and 125 grain 2 blade magnus broadhead. Can't wait.
