50lb Grayling Green Super K w/400 Dark Timbers, 50gr inserts 185gr Deltas. Arras secured in an EFA Cochise.
Great thread y'all have some sweet toys!

Waiting on my BW PSA to arrive this month, but till then. Bear KMag 45@28 shooting 400s with Zwickey heads.

Well that just got easier. My other Northen Mist came in yesterday that I ordered last year. so just setting it up but this will be going. It's a twin to my other so shouldn't need much other than breaking in strings.

Elm limbs and cocobolo riser

Bamboo Ipe bow and some cedars

52#Wild Horse Creek Destiny-footed cedar shafts from a long time ago and 2 blade Deltas,do not think it can get any better for me.

And these

How is it!!!

I'll be hunting with this new to me, birth year '72, 50# Bear Grizzly this season. I won this bow on the big site a few weeks ago and did a sand down and refinish on it spraying it in satin. I think it turned out ok for an amateur with only a few refinishes under his belt.


I put a new B50 string on it a good friend made for me, a new rug rest and strike plate, another good friend gifted me the vintage spring arm quiver it's wearing and my good friend and neighbor Frank ,kopfjaeger here, gifted me the cedar arrows and quiver adaptor. My cedars are tipped with 190 grain Tuffhead Meatheads.

I've been shooting the bow religiously, daily since the refinish and am very comfortable and confident with it out to my self-imposed 20 yard max hunting shot.


Great looking bows all and I hope you all have a safe and memorable season!

Beautiful bow. I shot a 72 tiger cat for years. Gave it to my little bro for his start. Looks like 72 was a great year for bear.

Well.... I FINALLY made my decission!!!

Always the "superstitious" one, and never one to deviate from the "norm".....

I've decided to use my new Bear "mag handle" T/D this year!!!!!
Number 1, 42# limbs, (56" bow) wearing a new Bear/Selway "Grayling Green" bow quiver.
Cedar arrows my son Tyler makes for me 45-50# cut 29" BOP and tipped with old green Bear Razorheads.

HOPEFULLY, this new bow, is a Lucky One!!!?? 

I hope to get it done with this one. A 1957 Bear Kodiak, 64", 47# at my draw length. I made the strings and painted the PO cedar arrows.
This will be my second year going at it with a recurve, I didn't get a shot on any last year though I did see some, just not close enough.

Mahantango Kestel 64in 45# at 28in. Shooting great, Mike
