Great Question! First let me say sorry you didn't make the Muzzy Shoot this year. Had nice weather... Both Days.

This deer season I'm gonna leave the BW at home and use my "new to me" John McCullough ~ Griffin ~ longbow. It's 56", 50# @ 26". First time hunting with wood arrows also. Found I can get Wensel Woodsman broadheads very sharp on a flat stone.
Bought a bison hide back quiver form Tollgate at the Muzzy Shoot. This year (like all other years) I'll be stalking heavy cover indian style with all this NEW stuff.

Thanks For Asking ...  :)  ...

Right now the front runner is a 60" DAS Master Hunter pulling 56# @ 32". I've got a Warfed Black Bear riser with the final coat of finish curing in the basement. With medium SF limbs, it's 64" and pulls the same weight as the DAS. Depending on how things go when I get it set up and tuned, it may make an appearance or two (three, four, whatever) this fall. I've also got my old 62" Chek-Mate Hunter II out of retirement as a backup bow. And one of these days, my new MOAB should be arriving from Jim Reynolds (who was kind enough to donate it to the UBI banquet auction).

So many choices...

Blue Ridge Longbow shooting POC arrows for the first deer. Then to my Hoyt Pro Medalist Hunter recurve using XX75's. I like the fact that the Hoyt is almost 40 years old.

62" 45# TD LB by Harold Couch, Chundoo arrows, and five old bear razorheads(they were my dad's), and five new to me magnus II'2 that are 145, I think. They all fly great.
I will be in the trees for a while, and when I can  try still hunting through the heavy oaks and thick pines. Also have a few nice spots picked out for ground blinds.

The first one here is a TriState Jaguar, 52#, 60".   Cedar arrows with 160 grain Ace Standard.

 

And...Bear Custom Kodiak, 56" A riser, 47#.  It will shoot the same cedar arrows, or 2016 aluminums with Bear Razorheads.

I'm planning on using my homemade TD Longbow "El Cheapo" that I made on a build along here...albeit with the rebuilt riser.  Pretty sure I'll be using woodies to hunt with for the first time, about 560 grain total weight with Magnus or Ribtek 2 blade.  Getting about 165 fps at about 50lbs at my drawlength.  2 weeks!  Steve
