Choosing a bow for the season

[K. Mogensen]

No brainer for me. I can't miss with this thing. 56" Lost Creek NAT. 50# @ 28".

 

[SkottyBoy]

This year, my first Trad only, will be a 58" Holme Made River Runner: 51@28. With 29" GT Traditional(blems from Big Jim) 3555s-- 50gr brass insert with 165gr Left bevel Zwickey heads.

[Orion]

For elk, I'll be taking my heavier 64-inch ACS, 650 grain cedar arrows with Abowyer Wapiti, Zwickey Delta and STOS heads. Lighter ACS as back-up.

For deer, it will be my lighter ACS, Morrison Shawnee Dakota, Bear TD and Hill Tembo. About 600-grain cedar arrows with the same heads.

[beachbowhunter]

64", 54@27 Gerlock double carbon longbow, Terminator Hunter Lite Selects with 150 grain Stinger/Buzzcuts 530 grain total for elk.

[pitbull]

I didn't choose my bow it has chosen me. My Holm-Made Osprey with GT 1535's and a WW on the business end.

[snag]

I keep coming back to the bow I built. Something about killing a bull or buck with a bow and arrows that you built yourself...  

 

This is a 60" Savage SS 60#@28". Shooting 80#-85# Surewoods w/ 160gr. Abowyer Brown Bear heads. They come in at around 600grs.

[Todweelz]

Have already put all bows away, and am only shooting my Javaman Tanjavur longbow. 56", 52#@27, with a 525gr carbonwood arrow, tipped w woodsman broadheads. can't seem to not shoot this one pretty well. Todd

[Nook]

Oh Well, I guess I'll just have to stay with my Old(2009) Schafer longbow.      

 

 

[tradsniper]

I'll be using my 1970 Bear Grizzly 56" 45@28. CE predator 4560. still have to decide what weight point they like and after that what broadhead to use

[vtmtnman]

My Schafer TD curve.Using 80-85 surewoods with 145gr points.Have not mounted them up yet but I got some Ace standards for this year.May move to something else but those Ace have a good rep so I'm pretty sure I'll be sticking with them.

Just need to get my limbs back from Bob Morrison after he's done skinnin' em.OH the wait!!!

I'll let you know what my therapist helps me decide.    

Actually it's two words

Was trying to decide between the super shrew and the fox breed then I came up with a morrison cheyenne so now I don't know.
There's a lot to be said for sticking with one bow.
