What is your set-up
I know this has been done before, But I don't remember seeing it.
I hunt mainly in New Jersey and the only game to hunt with a bow is Deer, Turkey, and small game. I have 2 different set-ups for hunting. The Bow) Shrew 54" Long Bow 51#@26"(My Draw) Arrows) Easton XX75 2016 @ 27" with 4 5"white feathers Big Game)125gr BroadHead (Magnus Snuffer's, NugentBlade/Magnus stinger II, Bear RazorHead's) SmallGame)125gr BluntHead *Big game = Deer, Turkey, Groundhog, ect, *Small game = Tree Rats |
RE: What is your set-up
My main bow is a ChekMate Kings Pawn recurve, 64", 52# @ 32" (my draw). Easton Gamegetter II's, 2315. Magnus II 2-blade heads on adaptors for @ 160 grains total, red cock feather w/orange hens. I use either Judo's or Bludgeons for small game.
My longbow is a homemade reflex/deflex, 50# @ 31". 2216's with the same broadheads as above or 60-65 spine woodies with Magnus II's. And I've made several selfbows that shoot those same woodies. When I just want to play on the target range, I've got an old Wing Presentation II, 32# @ 28" that draws around 40 pounds at my draw length. It shoots 2018's w/125 gn field points. If I ever take it out hunting, small game, I'll use 125 gn Bear Razorheads. |
RE: What is your set-up
My main bow is an OL Adcock 56# at 31". I shoot regular gamegetter 2018's and will probably go with a four blade 145 grain muzzy this year. I'm going to take a look at the 150 grain four blade Stinger, but if it anything as noisy as the Phantom, I probably won't use it.

66", [email protected] Chek-Mate Crusader longbow, 14-15 strand Dynaflight '97 string, POC arrows , various 2 blade and some 3 blade broadheads--generally Ribtek, Magnus, or WW, three 5" sheild cut feathers. I use this for everything except bowfishing--I have used the Ace Hex Head Blunt and really like it, but as often as not I use broadheads for small game.

RE: What is your set-up
My main 2 shooters are: a 64" OL Adcock ACS CX 2 pc longbow (54# @ 30") shooting RRA Tapered cedars and a 62" Black Widow PMAX bocote recurve (52# @ 30" & 63# @ 30" limbs) shooting weighted Beman ICS Hunter 400 carbons.
I use 5.5" feather fletching on the cedar & 4" on the carbons, .080" weedeater line to weight the carbons, & like WW's, Zwickey Eskimos, & Magnus II (all 125 gr) on both rigs but go to a lighter (100gr Magnus) head for the heavier recurve limbs. Both set-ups have proven more than adequate for deer & I hope to test em both on big 400# mature caribou bulls come this Sept! |

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. Bill |

RE: What is your set-up
Old 50# Herters 31" 45-60 carbons 3 bld Muzzy Update coming soon.

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. Dan |
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 |
