Red Oak flatbow 60@28, bamboo arrows don't know the weight, but they fly good), also don't know the speed but prolly between 150 an and 160 fps.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Voodoofire1, I think you make a typo. You wrote 90# @28" on one of your bows.  :scared:  Even if I combined both my shoulders into one I couldn't draw a 90#r !!  :eek:  

I realize it's not a typo btw.........

Voodoofire1,

Hearing about several hogs in one of the areas we hunted last year.....but have not been out  much looking myself.  I have been hunting squirrels on the other side of the lake and have not seen any sign there....I NEED to check out the pond where the feeder was getting hit this spring, bet they are in there wallowing. That is the general area where I am getting hogs reports from.  I need to go check all the water holes I know about in there....hogs GOTTA have water and lots of it when it is this hot.

Yup.......90# is right....saw him shoot one about that heavy a LOT at the SEMO hog hunt last year....he is THE man when it comes to shootin HEAVY bows!!!!! Plus he is a great and generous man as well!

later

Schaefer 66" Silvertip Longbow
75lbs 30" Custom Arrows @ 850gr

Tomahawk 64" Desert Fox
55lbs 30" Custom Arrows @ 650gr

Howard Hill Big Five Blank (My first trad bow)
65lbs 30" Custom Arrows @ 650gr

Howard Hill Big Five Blank
90lbs 30" Grizzly Arrows @ 1000gr

I enjoy shooting all my bows but usually hunt with the silvertip. I have no idea how fast they shoot but have taken Florida hogs with all of my bows with complete pass throughs out to 30 yards.
