TallTines 55@28 w/600 grain lodge pole or carbon arrows and snuffers or VPA
Whitetail:
Primal Tech 3 piece longbow 64" 50ish @ 28" 550ish grain arrow

And last but not least my selfbow 44#@28" which I am bound and determined to take a whitetail with this fall.

Here is my setup.

It is a 60'' 53# at 28'' take down recurve made by Rembow, Robert Macllvane from Vermont.

I found a Selway bolt on quiver on the bay for $40 and threw on some woodland camo limb skins.

I am shooting Black Eagle Vintage arrows with 250gr Cutthroat broadheads.

I am new to archery in general and I have been shooting trad bows for a few months now. This is my first season hunting with a trad bow and my second archery season. I haven't shot my compound since bringing this bow home.

I am busting my butt trying to become proficient so start hunting black bear next month and deer in the fall.

Right now, I'll be taking a Bear Green Stripe TD and a Morrison Shawnee on my elk hunt, with Easton 400s,600 grain Axis arrows and Abowyer, Zwickey and STOS broad heads.

For whitetails later in the year, it will be an A&H ACS, Liberty Chief, GN Critter Gitter, J.D. Berry Taipan and Hill Big 5.  Will be shooting .500 Axis shafts about 500-540 grains and Sweetland forge woods  and Woodsman heads.  

Life is too short to shoot only one bow.

Running a WF19 riser with Long SF Ultimate Pro ILF Limbs, for a 64" 45 lb bow. Selway slide on.

Initial grouping before tuning phase I was running Black Eagle X-impacts 500 spine with 250 gn up front.

But then tried the Gold Tip Pierce and like their outsert system better than the Black Eagles. So tuned those in and I find they group better than the Black Eagles. So final tune is Gold Tip Pierce 500 spine, 30.25" long, 250 gn up front. 520 gn total arrow weight. Broadhead will be a 250 gn RMS Cutthroat.

Haven't learned Imgur yet.  Shooting only  bow I own now, Toelke Super D 52@28.  Probably shoot Legacy 2016's with 145gr Magnus Stingers or some older Magnus 2 blade same weight.
