Same as always.......Holm-Made River Runner 60" 46# at my draw, 2016 Alum with 125 Magnus up front. I do have a new Stalker Coyote in the works and that may see some time in the woods as well.

Mark Daniels prototype static recurve, 70#@38" 65#@36", 39" custom wood arrows (Surewoods tapered fir with walnut footing and bone Manchu nock) with 3 7" feathers and 125gr Bod-Kin heads.

Working on a longbow, but as I've just got it first tillered, not sure on specs.  Something a touch lower than that above, I can't always pull that.

Yup.  Born with Marfan syndrome, I can draw up to 39" with a Kyudo draw, but 38" is my normal anchor spot.  My arm span is 7' 4".  We get disproportionate limb length in the deal.  Bout the only good thing about the illness.

going through the usual late summer ritual, i usually deciede what set up to start with about now, usually in our 5 month season i will change up some...spent a full day at the range yesterday , and have to start with the setup i shoot the best,

1. 60" 60# widow PSA 28 1/2" easton 2020's with zwickey delta 4 blade. this combo has killed a lot of critters for me and i have the utmost confidence in it.

 2. 66" 56# DG Albright 1 pc longbow 28 1/2" 70-75 cedars and zwickey deltas  this bow shoots like a dream and is perfectly tuned but i just shoot a recurve better.

3. 60" 56# widow PAX  this is a new bow for me and im not perfectly dialed in yet but its really close using the above mentioned 2020's with a 160 gr magness 2 blade  hopefully it will get off the bench mid season or so..
