RE: What is your set-up
Bow: Border Black Douglas Swift T/D recurve, 62", 50#@28"
Sweptwing T/D recurve, 60", 50#@28"
Arrows: RRA Cedars or Old South White Birch, 50-55# spine
Broadheads: Magnus 125 or Simmons Land Shark 125
I've been shooting with a tab, but will very likely hunt bare fingers this year. I get a much better anchor, cleaner release and significantly better accuracy with bare fingers.

RE: What is your set-up
Homemade longbow 65", The bow is centershot and tillered for three fingers under. 53#@29" draw. Fast flite string. Four Fletch 5" feathers, carbon arrows w/weight tube, 150 grain El Grande Grizzly heads. (total arrow weight 700 grains)
I just went to the heavier arrow setup this spring. Besides hopefully added penetration, the heavy arrows allow me to put the arrow tip dead on point of impact at 25 yards while gap shooting. My older carbons without the weight tubes the arrow tip was dead on point of impact at 30 yards.

RE: What is your set-up
My setup is, a custom made(local guy), 56# @ 27" recurve. I'm trying the Traditional Gold Tips 3555s with 145 grain tips fletched with shield cut feathers. I shot Muzzys last year with a lower weight bow, and they flew really good, but this year, I'm looking at the Wenzels. I bought a Chekmate Hunter I from a guy on the net the other day. He sent the limbs and riser, but forgot the bolts and the string. He's sending the stuff, but I'm bout to go nuts waiting for it.

RE: What is your set-up
My bow is a Northern Mist "Baraga", 64in 60lbs at 28in, but my draw is about an inch more then that. I shoot Easton 2216 and 2117s (still geting a fell for the best arrows), with 5.5 shields. My quiver is my front right pocket. I dont have any heads for it yet. Also I were boxers 99.9% of the time, never much for the feel of the old tighties.

RE: What is your set-up
Right now I've got a Navajo Caddo: 62"53#@27". Nice bow. I'm shooting spruce arrows with 190gr. Grizzlies. I use 200gr. Hex Heads for the small critters.
This fall I will have my new Super Shrew Gold: 56"54#@26.5". I really love my Super Shrews. I have one that is right handed also (I'm a lefty). I'll be shooting ramin arrows (if I can get the weight out of the 5/16 shafts) with 145gr. Eclipse broadheads.
Cheers,
Donavan
