So what is everybody's set up for their first day hunting? our bow opener is on Tuesday and cant wait. I will be using a brand new St Joe River Bow That I just got on Friday. it is 51@ 28" and pretty smooth shooter. I am using some Cedars that JP Enterprises out of Missouri made for me with some magnus 2 blade broadheads out on front.

I had hoped to go with some new arrows, but alas, best laid plans of mice and men get pregnant!
I'll be using my 47#, double carbon, Sasquatch I got new last year and last year's arrows, GT 7595 with 300 gr. up front using brass inserts and 200 gr. Tusker heads.
Only thing "new" is a string by a chap that makes the Centaur strings, that is quieter than others I've tried!

Sumpin like this...
70" NM Classic 62# @ 29", tapered cedars (green of course) w/160 Grizzly's 650g.
I dunno about the quiver tho, I scored a great deal on a Lone Wolf climber last weekend, so I may be toting that on my back, may have to use the GFA or Arrowmaster.

Season has been open here since September 1...so far I have hunted with my RER LX and one of my 1960 Kodiaks...if I decide to get an elk tag I will add my Howatt Hunter with 2317's and 160 Thunderheads...plus my Chek-Mate Hunter III is always in my truck just to make things more confusing

Toleke Chinook, 51@28, haven't completely decided on arrows but looks like 80-85 douglas fir with a mix of Kustom King trailmakers and stos weighted appropriately.

Dryad Orion 56" Recurve 50# @ 28".
Loaded with Beaman ICS Bowhunter 500s with 100 grain brass inserts and 175 grains of Simmons Tigershark on the pointy end. The arrows will most likely be in my Hill style back quiver rather than the bow quiver though, which now looks decidedly more broken in than it did in this picture.
