The bow I used on the Moose John hunt I had Dick Robertson make for that trip and it was a 68# longbow shooting 800 gr. laminated birch arrows with a Magnus 160 gr. head, the sask bear hunt I was shooting a Thunderstick 3 by Jim Reynolds @ 70 lbs. and a heavy carbon shaft (I am a wood shooter) but I lost a bet with a friend that is if outshot me while practicing I would shoot his carbons and if not he would shoot wood, well I lost! they were tipped with 160 gr Snuffers, then all the whitetails except the stonehead selfbow spike were taken with a 53 lb Thunderstick 3 and either bear greenies or snuffers, on laminated birch shafts @ near 700 gr., the selfbow is a 55 lb osage stave I got from Mike Yancey here on the board that I somehow turned into a useable tool, and the heads were knapped by friend Billy Berger of GA. Thanks for all the replies it has been fun stirring up old memories.
