Choosing a bow for the season

[A.S.]

TJ, mine may not be as pretty as yours, but it has "killer" written all over it!  Morrison ILF, Tight Spot quiver, Axis FMJ 500's that will be tipped with Snuffer SS 125s.

 

[bretto]

Starting off with the MOAB, 59# at 30" Goldtip 55-75 full length with eithr Ace standards or Snuffers weighted to 200 grns.

Hope to have a working self bow built sometime before the end of the season to use also.

Just got in from shooting and am strugling between the 2 Morrisons....
The Shawnee recurve is so dang quick and shoots where I look.....
The Shawnee longbow is soooooooo smooth and shoots dead on also...
I believe I'm leaning towards the longbow for opening weekend just for how smooooove the draw is..

Total new set up for me....
Shawnee LB
150 CE Heritage w/ 50 gr inserts and 4 blade Magnus Stinger 145gr.
I still need to decide on a quiver...leanin towards a Kanati.

[Mike Vines]

A 64" Pathfinder 59# @ 28", and a new set of homegrown cedars in the drying rack as we speak.

I thought I had it narrowed down to a Bear TD Supreme A handle. However, I received my limbs for my BW PSAIII on Friday after having 6 pounds taken off the draw weight. Now, at 46 pounds this bow is so smooth and quiet I'm torn again. I took it to my 3-D trail yesterday. I didn't shoot it as well as I do my Bear but I was getting better towards the end of the shooting.  I'll concentrate on this bow for the next couple of weeks.  OUr whitetail deer season starts on Sept. 4th so I have to make the decision soon. The Supreme has a very high gloss finish which I'd have to cover if I use it. The widow is ready to go.

TJ, I think you can guess which bow I'll be toting on opening day! Your old kajika stick,mini boa quiver, pocedars tipped with 200gn ace super express heads!  But sometimes I change my mind at the last min! I get feeling guilty about leaving the other bow at home!

Nice choice T.J.!  I hope you can give it a good nickname after the season.  What's the poundage on that one?  I need to get a TT before he realizes they're worth more LOL!

[mcgroundstalker]

Good Question TJ. I won't decide until after The Muzzy Shoot next weekend. Might be my Super Shrew Gold or RER Vortex or Hummingbird Kingfisher or Kanati or.....    ...

[owlbait]

Ziper SXT recurve 49#@28", or Stalker Recurve 50#@28" (here this week), or Zipper ZSR 48-52#@28" (here August sometime). AD Hammerhead lights with 180 Snuffers or 175 VPA Terminatoers or 175 STOS.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

This season I'll be using My PSE KingFisher 50#@28"  60-65# cut 30.5"BOP Ash arrows w/160grn Magnus Snuffer 3-Blade

[BUFF]

I could never go with just 1. I Bounce back and forth between 3 recurves and 2 longbows

[limbow]

Can I pick two?? A longbow and a recurve    

Lone Wolf Autumn Storm Ultra Carbon

 
 

Schafer Silvertip 58" 1 piece Recurve

 
 

Please don't make me choose    

[jcar315]

For me it will be a Bear TD, home made wooden arrows, and Bear Razorheads.

[Flatshooter]

This year I'll be switching back and forth between my PSAX kingwood and believe it or not, a Hoyt GameMaster 2. Love 'em both! Have a Blacktail Elite on order which should arrive before hunting season next year. I like 50#@28" and CE 150's @ 29 1/4" with Magnus 145gr Snuffers and 90 grs up front. I'll be taking both bows with me to CO. this August before the season starts here in TN

[owlbait]

Can't believe it. Why the PSAX?  

[waknstak IL]

Taking my 60" 51 lb Fox. With 3555 Gts with 100 grain inserts, 125 Muzzy Phantoms. Only having one bow makes choosing easier  

[Bob Morrison]

I have 3 this year that will hunt... all 3 are ILF 1 recurve, 1 longbow, 1 metal. all will be less than 50# @ 26". metal early season. Longbow and recurve wood riser, What ever I leave the house to hunt with that day. May have to do a 1 pcs. a couple times, been awhile.

[Curveman]

Border Griffon GL longbow. 62#@27.5.
 

[Jon Swanson]

I think my 51lb. Tall Tines is going to get the call this year.

[Claypipe]

Come on guys, it is so simple if you just do it like I do.  Only own one bow.  Then it's a lock.  Will be carrying my Ben Pearson Mach One Recurve.  52" and 45#@28".  Easy peasy, Lemon squeezie.
