This year it will be the 56", 47#, selfmade longcurve, and the selfmade cedar arrows with Treesharks again, about 550Grains. At least to start the season with this set up.

Also my faithful hunting companion, "the Dodge Logde" , won't be along on the hunts this year. After 220,000 faithful miles, it was time to go. Picked up a "new to me" Jeep, I'll be running on the hunts this year. Guess I'll be sleeping in a tent come early season, instead of in the back of the pickup.

My set up for this season is a 60" Howard Hill "Tembo-Big Five" 55# @ 25", 45-50# Douglas Fir w/160g Grizzly and 50-55# w/Grizzly 3 Blade Instinct. I also plan on using my Muddy Hang On with sticks or Woodpecker drill & bolts on most hunts instead of my climber.

Still tying to decide which I will hunt with, LOL and whether I will mount a quiver on the bow, etc. Can't decide. But I need to soon

I'm so new to bow hunting, I barely know wha' I have! But, it's a Bobby Lofton made longbow (or reflex/deflex?) 65#. I have good carbon arrows with practice heads and some kind of hunting heads on different arrows. And, I'm practicing! I figure I'm okay out to about 17 yards, and I'm patient. I'm one of the best (best = loves it!) hunters there is, I just ain't so good at killin'. I'm 65, so figured I'd get a bow with one pound pull per year. Y'all know better. Actually, that's wha' I found that I liked in my price range. I wish it were about 45-53 pounds. Because of heavy pull, I use a loop and shooting trigger, it works good for me.
