I wish photobucket hadn't ditched my account.
I truly believe that 60" 3 piece recurves we're bred for the backcountry.
I have a few places that I like to pack into in September, usually those trips range from a 3 day weekend to a 9 day "expedition." I tend to compress and put gear in Sea to Summit stuff sacks inside my pack (my packs tend to be 5200" or 6500+") I usually orient all the stuff sacks east/west in the bag, and use the two limbs to help aid the compression system north/south. I usually put the bowquiver (either GNBH or Selway for a 3 piece 'curve) back on the riser on the RH side of the pack, with the top of the riser in a cupholder, and the rest of the riser under the packs compression straps.
My hunting packs go in 35-60 Lbs depending on how long the stay. I have to use trekking poles on packs 50 on up. Once I get camp in, and offload gear, I keep my bow in my hand.
