Do you have a new go to this season?
« on: September 26, 2015, 02:10:00 PM »
Do you have a new go to bow this season for whatever hunting you will be doing? If so tell us about it!

I'm shooting my new rich emery stik 56in 50# @28 GT trad 500s not sure on broadhead yet....
I'd rather be judged by 12 then carried by 6

Tradtech Titan 2 is my go to platform

I got a new Flatwoods Custom R/D longbow back in the spring.  64", 47#@28".  Sweet shooting bow.  Shooting some of the long discontinued ACC small diameter carbons from late 80s or early 90s, 60-70# spined, with 190 Simmons Interceptors.  

I also just traded for a '66 Kodiak, 60", 55#@28".  It'll be in my #2 slot with 60-70# Carbon Express Wolverines weighted with para cord and tipped with 150 screw in Bear Razorheads.

Maybe.  I've been very happy with my Blacktail.  But I shot a Tall Tine in bear camp and had to have one. It's 55@28 and 60" long. So maybe I'll have two go to!

But it is hard to have a go to unless you have already went... And proven it, right?

I'm hunting this season with a Don Dow stik. 58" 50@28. They are really great bows, can't beat em for the price. I may order another from Rich sometime, right now I have my eyes on a new 59 Kodiak.

I was fortunate to find a pristine Ron Maulding Bighorn Longbow this spring. She is a bit stouter than any of my other bows, but draws and shoots so nicely that I worked up to it in no time. The specs are; 70" 72#@28" with about an inch of back set, and a straight grip. Best of luck to all.

I'll be using a 56" thunderstick mag I got last fall too late for hunting season. I have never hunted this bow before, we'll see how she goes.

I'll be hunting with my Dave Johnson longbow. She scales 51# @ 28 " on my scales, and is 66" long. I'm shooting GT 35-55 cut 30" Bop, with 160 grain Tusker deltas mounted on 100 grain steel adapters.

My go-to bow is my trusty Sarrels Blueridge longbow. 64" long and 50#@29 1/2". Ziricote riser with red phenolic and bamboo accent stripe, and black walnut limbs with bamboo cores.

I just re-read the title of your thread. My bow is not new or new to me, but it is my go-to, none the less!

I have a new Falco Storm 45# @ 28" that i would like to use. I have never hunted with a bow but really want to this year. It has always been a rifle for me. I hope to make my first deer kill this year with a bow.
