Title: what does everyone shoot?
Post by: fredbear92 on June 26, 2007, 05:29:00 PM
I would love to hear what you guys shoot. Bows, arrows, points, broadheads, quivers, tabs, gloves, etc. And how you hunt and what you hunt out of. And if you can post pics that would be awsome! Thanks

POC out of my longbows. XX75 from the recurves. Only Zwickey broadheads. I have too many bows, but want more like most. LOL My longbows are nice but I am a recurve man at heart.
Any bow by Earl Hoyt Jr. is a keeper and then my Morrison and Black Widow recurves.

Last year I used a DAS with a couple of different sets of limbs in the high 40's and low 50 pound range. My arrows were Axis 400's with Eclipse broadheads.
Normally hunt out of homemade hang on type tree stands. Had a good year with that set up.

This year am going to use an ACS CX by A&H. It is 48 at my draw and I'm using the Axis 400's in this bow as well.. It is deadly accurate. I'll use either the Eclipse or two bladed Eskimo's..
I can hardly wait until fall !

Both are RER bows and Arroyo(Recurve)54"s and 54#s at my draw and a Vortex(LB)58"s and 49#s at my draw. I shoot carbons 99.9% of the time but have a lot of woodies.

I'm currently conducting tryouts for the upcoming season.  Right now it's looking like a 62" Robertson Vision Falcon, 57# @ 29 is in line for the starting spot.  Others in contention or that could see action through the season are (in no particular order)
62" Fox High Sierra T/D recurve
64" McCullough Griffin 2 pc. TD longbow 62" Morrison Cougar 2 piece TD
58" Centaur 1 piece longbow
There are others, but these are the best shooters for me.  Mostly use carbon arrows with Wensel Woodsmans, although the Morrison has a fondness for woodies.

Robertson Vision Falcon I T/D recurve, 60", 52#@28", wood arrows (either 50-55 Cedar or 50-55 Larch), Eclipse 125 gr 2-blade, Skookum glove

Crow Creek Black Feather T/D longbow, 62", 51#@28", same setup as for the Robertson recurve.

I will also be figuring into the mix a new Border Harrier GL longbow that I'll be receiving in the August/September timeframe.  The bow will be 62" and 48-50#@28".  I'll have to figure out what wood arrows I'll be shooting with this bow.  Sid told be it would require a spine in the 70-75# range, maybe a bit higher.

Bill

PS I think it's probably pretty close between Shawn and I as to which one has bought, sold and traded the most bows.  But I do know neither one of us holds a candle to Bob Ferrel!

If asked if I have a favorite my answer would be yes, and here they are. I thoroughly enjoy shooting each and every one of them. Each is a tribute to it's maker in both esthetics and performance and have far more potential than this guy's shooting ability is able to accomplish. The pursuit, however, brings hours of continued pleasure. It has taken me about four or five years to bring this lot together. The pursuit of each has been fun and interesting. There are yet a few I would like to add to their number, but at a future date.

From left to right:
Border, Silvertip, Blacktail, BlackWidow, Border, Blacktail

I don't hunt yet so I just enjoy target shooting. I'm trying to make sure I have my accuracy and form down so eventually, I will be ready to hunt. I won't take the chance of hurting the hunted and not being able to kill it. That's just cruel. But, when I do... I'll probably use Muzzy 2-blades.

Pittsley Predator, 63 @ 28.
Gold Tips, 55-75. Weighted to around 600 grains with a broadhead. I hunt with big wide two edge heads. Usually a Zwickey Delta.
Delta 7 arrow quiver. When practicing, I use a calf hair tab. When hunting, bare fingers.
It is far from some of the works of art seen on this site, but its far from ugly too.
Many happy trails with this set up.

I shoot a Morrison Cheyenne recurve. A riser with A limbs makes a nice, short 54" recurve that handles well and hits hard. It is 57# @ 26 1/2 inches. I'm 5'5" so this bow really fits me well.
I shoot Beman MFX Classics 400's with a 100 grain brass insert and 250 grain field points. Works out to about 18% FOC. For hunting I shoot 160 grain grizzly with a 100 grain insert. When I'm done modifying the grizzly head they come out to about 155 grains so the difference is negligible in arrow flight. Total arrow weight of about 680 grains.

String has brush buttons and cats whiskers.
