It's way to early in the year for me to pick a bow, let-a-lone a set-up. Please give me at least another three months.

I'm thinking this upcoming year it will be my 1966 Browning Explorer and Douglas fir arrows - 630 gr +/- w/125 gr Stos broadheads.

 

Unfortumately the riser swells are too big to get my Limbskinz camo sleeves over.  I may have to tape it to dull it down for hunting.

I will be shooting either a '71 Super Kodiak at 45#'s or if my shoulder can handle it a '66 Kodiak at 50#'s.  I'll be shooting our Phoenix three blade single bevel heads for turkey and will hopefully be shooting the two-blade single bevel head we'll be releasing soon for deer and elk.

I haven't been this excited for a season to start in a lot of years.

Not sure yet I have three to choose from. A 1966 Ben Pearson Hunter 45xx or a Astro II 45# or my new Samick Sage 45#. Just to early to say one way or the other.

Once I get my first kill with the 50 year old I will switch to my new 59 Kodiak.

I will add pics when the Kodiak arrives, probably in about 3 weeks.

Should have it by early summer, a Big Jim's Thunder Child, 60# @ 27", in time for the autumn. Will probably shoot arrows on hand, CE Trads 250 with Centaur BH carried in a side quiver.
