Last year I used a DAS with a couple of different sets of limbs in the high 40's and low 50 pound range. My arrows were Axis 400's with Eclipse broadheads.
Normally hunt out of homemade hang on type tree stands. Had a good year with that set up.

This year am going to use an ACS CX by A&H. It is 48 at my draw and I'm using the Axis 400's in this bow as well.. It is deadly accurate. I'll use either the Eclipse or two bladed Eskimo's..
I can hardly wait until fall !

I did use a JWLeather backquiver, but I just traded it for a Selway QD recurve bow quiver so I can wear a daypack as I like to hunt all day. I have been hunting out of natural ground blinds and a stool, but I am going to try a hang on stand this year.

I have shot and owned more reurves and LBs than I can count. Right now I own only 4 bows and I am shooting only two of them. Both are RER bows and Arroyo(Recurve)54"s and 54#s at my draw and a Vortex(LB)58"s and 49#s at my draw. I shoot carbons 99.9% of the time but have a lot of woodies. I hunt whitetails every way possible and I shoot Snuffer 125 grain broadheads. Shawn
