My backup is a Fedora 560 take down. 52# at 28.

RE: NEWBIE question; What equipment are you using?
My primary bow is a 66" Crusader longbow, [email protected]"--Cocobolo riser, Yew limbs. Rogue River POC shafts, Dynaflight string, Damascus glove. I have a Catquiver III, but haven't used it much yet. Have been using a side quiver, have used back quivers in the past and they are just not comfortable to me. I have Wensel Woodsman, Ribtek, and Steel Force broadheads, and plan on getting some Magnus.

I have been shooting a Bear grizly recurve @ 50# and POC arrows with snuffer Broadhead 125 grain.
Finished off this years hunt with a Bear Kodiak 55# which neighbor gave me. Now I am almost finished with Osage self bow still tillering it and hopeing to have it at 50-60#.

RE: NEWBIE question; What equipment are you using?
Lurp Dog, Good for you man! Simple sticks are alot of fun. Byron's book gives some great information, btw.
My setups:
Selfbows (mostly osage).
Wooden arrows (including fir, larch, maple, hickory, whatever's in my ammo depot).
Wensel Woodsman broadheads for deer, whatever's on hand for small stuff.
Deerskin glove.
Backquivers for general shooting, Jack's "Chief" side quiver for hunting and some 3-D's.
My latest selfbow..."Big Warrior", 62", 70# @ 25".

RE: NEWBIE question; What equipment are you using?
Right now my primary hunting & 3D bow is "Ole#1", a Black Widow MAII (62"er, 63# @ 30"
that I got in Dec '91. I have several other bows that I love shooting, including another BW t/d curve & a fairly new Morrison Dakota longbow that is trying hard for 1st place in my stable. As for arrows I shoot RRA tapered cedars w/125 gr Magnus, Zwickeys, or Snuffers. I've had some (but limited) experience w/aluminum arrows & broadheads of other weights/make. I use either a calfskin tab or glove to protect my drawing fingers from my (horrendous of late) release. I'd like to try a good cordovan tab, anyone know who sells a good one?
