Thought it was going to be my Pronghorn, but in shooting all of them the Blacktail with Snag's arrows and 180 grain Grizzly still came out on top.  Best wishes to everybody this fall!

Thank you. I waited too long for that Fedora. It is a treat that my wife (Doegirl) bought me at ETAR last year.

Not sure just how much hunting I will get to do but I will be starting out with my Ted Fry selfbow,cane arrows and stone points. My one piece 56" Bruin recurve and 58" Toelke whip might see some action as well.

Bear TD -A riser with #3 RoseOak limbs, making a 60 inch bow at 52 pounds; with a Bighorn bow quiver.
Currently shooting 400 custom carbons that I made up and some 2117 aluminum arrows that I made for it. The 2117s are heavier and will likely be my choice for hog hunting. Both arrows shoot like laser beams out of this bow (if I can keep my shooting form under control, but that's another story). My broadheads are original Wensel Woodsman 3-blade.

My back up bow is another Bear TD.
