Morrison ILF aluminum riser recurve, currently at 44# at my draw length.  Sticking with the aluminum theme, I have some Easton 1820s tipped with Magnus Stingers.  And I went back to my faithful Arrowmaster quiver after trying something different for a couple days.

Although I probably won't make it out tomorrow (mom's birthday and it's going to be pretty warm) I had to get it her all ready to go!  60" Tall Tines 50@28.  I have 3 Simmons Tigersharks, 2 VPA 250gr. 1 1/4" 3blds, and 1 thumper.  I like the sharks, but am really digging the VPA's!  I'd have more, but it's not in the cards for me right now.  They certainly sharpen up superbly!

Probably my '71 Kodiak and some GT 55/75s with original Bear Razorheads. I'll alternate that bow with my green stripe takedown and those same arrows

We opened today, and I actually got to hunt!  Didn't see any deer though.  I'm using a bacote Habu Vyperkahn with longbow limbs, Arrow Dynamics Hammerhead lites, and simmons treesharks.  Gonna try one with the treesharks, then might go to the original woodsmans.
