I hunt with everything and anything.  I hunt with recurves and longbows and for arrows I use cedar, aluminum, and carbon.

I've been using a 54" Shrew Classic Hunter 61# @28 and will use that bow almost exclusively...hunting from a canoe along these jungle creeks, this bow is "perfect"...for me.

I'm hunting a Hill longbow. Checked "other" on the poll, as I didn't think that qualified for modern longbow.

Arrows are cedar, spined 67-68, with 145 gr Ace heads on them.

I'll be starting off the season with my 54# Pittsley Predator and Gold Tip arrows w/Snuffer BH.  Then I'll most likely switch to my 60# Viper longbow and homemade cedar arrows w/Snuffer BH.

I'm shooting a 60" osage self bow with western diamond skin back, recurved static tips and pulls 56#@26". My arrows are sourwood shoots with turkey feathers and rhyolite or obsidian points. I also have a set of cedars with rawhide re-enforced self nocks and obsidian point.  Pat

I had to vote for all the bows.  :)  They all get carbon arrows however.  :D
