I'll be bringing my uncles old bow with me this year. He passed a year ago. I did lots with him. Last real cowboy from NJ if you ask me. Tough as nails, didn't pull punches or mix words. His heart was gold though.
I was working this winter at my cousin Bucky's house (his son). I wouldn't accept anything but lunch as payment.
As I was leaving he asked me to wait a second, wanted to show me something. Was his dad's old Bear. Was too heavy for him. 50lbs at 28".
He asked me if I'd take it and shoot a deer with it this fall.
I did take the bow, he had it sprayed black, I'm leaving it that way. I made a string, changed the rest for shelf material and we'll be out this fall. I can't wait to send Bucky a pic. Here's one of the first shots I'd taken.
It's shooting Wapiti tapered cedar, thinking grizzly or bear glue on heads.
Thanks for everything Uncle Andy.

Touching tribute. I hope you bag one.

I'll likely be using my Primal Tech recurve 99% of the time!

50#@29

Arrow will be a Widowmaker Smash, .400 spine, with a 45gr outsert and 150gr German Kinetic broadhead.

I said 99% of the time because I have 2 primitive bows I really want to put a notch on if I can work up the courage to take them hunting!

My 60" 47@28 Kanati will accompany me. She'll sport a EFA Cochise w/400 G/Ts. The business end pairs a 100 gr insert w/180 gr Eskimos. My foundation is a Summit Specialist open front configuration.

Possum Head · June 21, 2021, 08:54:45 PM

Bisch, what's that that projects out by your limb bolts? Quiver attachment? Beautiful riser wood combo!

Petrichor · June 21, 2021, 09:38:20 PM

Here's my chinook with the new st judes quiver. Also pictures of my backup bow which I have been inching to shoot. But it's hard to take the chinook out of my hand. It's a flatline cardiac arrest 43 @28" and is all red cedar with a bubinga riser.

SlowBowKing · June 21, 2021, 09:57:02 PM

Some good looking setups on here!

Michael, best of luck connecting with a deer this fall. What a great way to remember your uncle.

I'll be using thee old cheap Black Hunter 50@28 shooting Easton 6.5 bowhunters with Zwickey Eskimos weighted to 250gr or 250gr 3 blade VPA's

Sweet bow there, Bisch.

9 Shocks · June 22, 2021, 09:49:25 AM

Same bow for the last few seasons.

51@28 Primaltech 58" Longbow. 600 spine gold tip trads with 225 up front.

Petrichor · June 22, 2021, 08:47:14 PM

What a beaut. My next one is gonna be a hill style me thinks. Last one was supposed to be but bowyer talked me out of it due to draw length.... Next time I ain't listening. Though I am very happy with my bow that I did get.

SlowBowKing · June 22, 2021, 10:59:39 PM

I'm planning on hunting with my new (to me) Ferguson Z Bow. It's 60" and 52# @26.5", and will be shooting 2016 aluminums tipped with 125 grain Magnus Stinger 4-blades.

Will be pursuing whitetail, plus squirrel, rabbits, and—hopefully—black bear.

Squirrel Hunter · June 23, 2021, 09:36:15 AM

Usual setup — 55 lb homemade longbow, 600 gr fir arrows with 200gr Ace Super Express heads. The only problem is, I didn't draw any tags this year (again). So, I'll be hunting squirrels, grouse, and turkeys this fall, then javelina in Jan.

Trenton G. · June 23, 2021, 10:09:34 AM

Probably will be using the same setup this year as the past two years, with my main bow being my 3 piece Stillwater Aberdeen recurve. 60", 57@29. I'm shooting GT trads with a 200 grain 3 blade VPA broadhead. I'll be hunting whitetail and black bear this fall. Potentially might have a fall turkey tag in my pocket as well.

Crittergetter · June 23, 2021, 11:57:41 AM

Slowly but surely building myself a new bow on the side. This one will be a 60" recurve. [attachment=1]

Good looking lams
