I pulled a 85 pound Howard Hill back a couple of weeks ago and it actually felt really good, but i think i will stick to my 60 pound custom longbow....SHE'S GOT PLENTY OF PUNCH....

Arrowsmit, them are nice looking arrows, curious what type of wood?, how much total grains w/broadhead?,andwhat broad heads you plan on using?, if you don't mind sharing your personal preference amongst us.....Take Care and Good Luck on your upcoming ADVENTURE...

Yepper Kip, I'm gettin' a might excited, & yepper I've packed my duffle 3 times so far & still 1 1/2# over the 65# wt limit.[:@]Good thing is thatmy hunting partnerwill have more than enuff room for a couple of my things since he isn't taking a frame pack. We decided toshare mine.

Thanks Robin, I'm real happy w/the way the arrows came out. They're tapered compressed cedar w/purpleheart foots & w/a 125 gr brd-hd should weigh in around 650gr total. My Adcock longbow shoots them very quick & flat so it should make a decent 'bou rig.

We'll be heading out 4 weeks from tomorrow!!!!

Smit, looks as though youve done your homework, and we will be waiting for your report card, your arrows sound like they will be winners and i wish you luck on your upcoming hunt, i want to see pic. Happy Trails,

Vic has by now checked the weather 4126 times, unpacked, and repacked his duffle 724 times, has trouble sleeping at night due to the replay of the perfect hunt going through his head as he tries to fall asleep at night. His job performance is severely lacking, and his wife wishes he was on the next plane to Canada. Am I close Vic? I think Im as excited about you going on your dream hunt as you are. Are you down to counting days/hours/minutes/seconds yet?

Hehehe Kip, you're not too far off w/your assessment of my anxious condition....and yepper, I have 2 weeks, 3 days,15 hours, 14 minutes, & 23 secondstill we leave out for the long drive from SW Kentucky to Montreal, Quebec. [:-]Then comes a VNQ (commercial) flight to Shefferville & an overnite there, then out to the tundra on a JHA bush plane early the next morning. Three weeks from today we'll be hunting caribou!!! [&:]

Man, I sure wish I was going with ya'll........ 'Bou on the tundra is my dream hunt.... I hope to make it happen in a few years......

I wish you were coming w/us too Double Creek, it's been adream hunt for me & my hunting partner for many many years too. ...almost hard to believe that it's about to happen!

BTW; my hunting partner (Raymond Durham, aka: Dances With Pigs) is taking his Horne 3 pc w/him on this hunt. Heis takingboth his recurve & longbow limbs for it &shoots both equally well. Man he really loves that bow.

Vic, I can honestly say I know how you feel--bet Kip can too! Best of luck bro--be safe, and bring home a truckload of meat and stories to tell from hereon out!
