I had a Thunderhorn exactly like that one.

I will be using a Marriah Thermal and Tall Tines for both 3D, and hunting.
If it's in your way, move it.

I shoot with the same bow that I hunt with, my Thunderstick MOAB.  I did shoot an old Kodiak Special last year while I was healing from a shoulder injury though.

Tom, Since I recently added 2 bows to my stable I will be using them this year for both 3-D and hunting......a Rose Oak Ultra Delight and a Stalker Wolverine with static limbs.
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

This year my new K-2 will be doing both.
Someday you'll regret the things you didn't do.

Nice bow(s), Tom. I also love your Morrison, always have.

I'll be shooting 3D with the same bow I hunt with, my Kanati. But, this time around I'll be using a slightly lighter weight arrow than my hunting arrows.

Kanati Bow Quiver
35/55 Gold Tip Pink Nugents @ 30"

I'll be using my Wild Horse Creek Hawk for the Sunflower Games 3D event as well as for the field archery event. I don't do a lot of 3D but try to make it to a couple of the T.H.E. shoots in Topeka.
For their Traditional Rendezvous shoot I use one of my self bows in the Primitive class.

I just built a second set of limbs for my hunting bow @ 43# -64"- long. This will be my summer setup. Still need to finish spraying them but I have shot them alot over the last few weeks and the weight is very nice on my shoulders and arms.

Though I generally try to practice with what I hunt with (56# Centaur, 55# LS) my "3D" bows are either a 64" 48@28 Whip or an ILF rig- a 21" Bear Black Bear WARF with a set of Sebastian Flute Elite+ long limbs making a 66" bow that draws about 46@28.  SOOO smooth and quietest recurve I have ever shot.  The SF Elite+ limbs are amazing for the money.  Would be a great hunting rig anyway.

Tom, one of the nicest looking bows I have seen. I will be shooting a 64" Toelke Whip although at a much lower poundage than I would like due to an injury I jut can't seem to get healed properly and I have to limit my shooting somewhat as well.
