Your feelin deadly set up
« on: August 03, 2012, 02:09:00 PM »
Do any of yall have a particular set up the makes you feel just a little bit more deadly.  For me its my 54@27 Lee with Woodsman heads.  I have killed almost all of my meager amount of trad game with it.  I have other bows but when I hold my Lee I am confident and know I will hit the mark when the chips are down.  So what are your killer bows.  Pics if ya gotem.

I feel deadly any time im in the woods. I have 1 recurve and 1 long bow.  Every year I start out with one of them  and after I kil a deer I'll switch to the other. But every time I hunt with my long bow I feel like such a bas ass!!

**Former set-up strategy due to inability to afford targets**

51@28 Habunero w/arrows 400 gns up front... 608 gn total...32% Ultra-EFOC.

-Reduced a new 18 in 1 to dust in 3 1/2 weeks (Big 3 BH's)

-Shot out a new Eagle layered target in 2 1/2 weeks (field points)

- Started bouncing arrows out of the core of new Morrel Outdoor Range w/i 3 weeks.

- Yet only 15 yards and with much good fortune, this is the only setup that I have robinhooded bare shaft to bare shaft.

-Skewered a doe from sternum through back ham (Big 3 BH)

Ironically, my only 3D scores of a 9+ average per target have been achieved with this set-up.

My main quarry are turkeys, however I felt compelled to test the waters.

I think I finally have "the one". This bow has fit me so well, the anticipation of bow season is driving me crazy.
 New this year, 60 inch St. Joe longbow 58@28, nearly all walnut with bamboo/uniweft core. Blackhawk Carbonwoods 3000's, Bear Razorheads mounted  on 100 grain steel adapters. This set-up is very fast and consistent, can't wait to try it out on deer!
Just one more step please!

Ive been working hard with my H.H but i just couldnt help but pick up my old no name Hill style that I got in a trade today, 70 " 65 - 70 lbs (never scaled it ) and as usual it puts them right where im looking.
My confidence level with this old girl is huge, so I think with Hill heads, and Douglas Fir shafts, its game on with "Ole No Name".

Shooting a 68" A&H ACS CX longbow. It is 61# and I'm shooting Jim Dougherty 2018's with Muzzy Phantoms with the bleeders removed. The extra length and poundage of this bow pay huge dividends.
