My Stalker Coyote longbow for me its the easiest shooting bow I have had for a while. I took two deer with it last season.

But like MnFn said there is always a but
, I have a Northern Mist Whisper due to arrive here anyday now. If it shoots anything like the one I was shooting at the GLLI it may just be my new go too. It was saaweet !

There are so many great bowyers and bows these days!  It can sometimes make a man crazy   :help:    I want to shoot them all    :archer2:

Yes, I do... But, I happened to have made a "new" friend this year!!!
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows..... Happy Hunting!!!

Yup. My Black Widow PCH. When Sep. 1 came, I put away my others and get acquainted again.
Had a little problem with the grip adjustment, but am back on track.
Hope you can get out. I can think of some good spots close to where you normally park.

I have 2 bows that I use interchangeably. One is a HHA Cheetah, and the other is my Northern Mist Shelton.

Right now its my t/d Whip but that will change once Dan finishes my t/d Pika.
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Yep, I have a go to bow.  A go to set of crutches if the back goes out, a go to cane when the knee gets stiff. A go to deer cart and a go to cell phone that calls a local cop that is my go to deer hauler that will come out or arrange for someone to get my deer out if I am not able.  Actually, I am fairly healthy lately. Ron, you need to get out  even if it just a short distance. People hunt just off the roads around here all the time. I shot three deer one year that I was crippled up, I did not haul one of them out myself.  Guys jumped at the opportunity to help out.

I have quite a few that I take to 3-D shoots; both longbows and 'curves.

Come hunting time it's been my RER with the 43# XR limbs installed. As a back-up, my 45# K-Mag will go along too. They shoot the same arrows to the same point - GT3555s with 200gr 2-blades up front. This year it will be my new Cutthroat single bevels.

My bear killer that you held in Canada, Ron.  It's an old Fedora "Ishi" D shaped longbow.

I'm hopin' you can just get out a little,  Don't give up!

My go to bow is (still) the Morrison riser I got from you a few years ago.  Picked up some ILF limbs and an SBD string and it's all I been shootin'.

Stay the course, Buddy!

My Widow PCH despite not getting it as quiet as I'd hope.  Shoots eyeballs out though.
