Recurve or longbow?
« on: August 16, 2012, 04:12:00 PM »
Who's using what this fall? This isn't a versus or which is better just wanna see who prefers what for hunting. I'm using my 62" TallTines recurve 53@28 with some Easton 2219's and 125 grain woodsman broadheads up front. Whats your set up?

Although my TG handle says "Recurve" I will be hunting with one of my longbows again this year.

I'll be using my Wild Horse Creek Kestrel R/D LB.  ....or maybe my WHC Mariah recurve.... the Kanati....the Kodiak Hunter....

 Great! You've succeeded in giving me a complex.  

Either way I'm trying to sell some c******d bows and go strictly stickbow. (Sold one and I only have 4 more to sell   :knothead:   )

Come on folks, I need all the support I can get   :help:   . HAHA

I'll be hunting primarily with my longbow (see below), with full-length 2117s with 175-grains of Wensel Woodsmans.

I also plan to hunt a bit with my 69# recurve limbs with full-length 2419s and 200-grains of 3-blade Magnus up front.

Sold two bows and narrowed it down to only two. Then my recurve blew up on me.

Down to only one bow. Thinking I might keep it that way though.
