Blacktail Elite VL 64" 54#@28" (drawing 29") last year I was shooting BE instincts (350 spine) with the stock 100gr outsert, 5" parabolics, small groove Easton g nocks (stock BE nocks sucked) and 200gr head. I think they were 640-650gr taw

switching arrows this year, going to standard size shafts with ethics inserts, ditching feathers in favor of trad vanes (always wet here) and i'm building around a 200gr head regardless. will be shooting iron will and Valkyrie blood eagles

just got a Das tribute riser as well, so looking forward to getting some limbs for it... got the super curve itch

Went back to a longbow after a 5 year hiatus with recurves. I hunted with my 66" Rustic Archer Yeti Longbow. 47lbs at my 27" draw. Gold Tip Kinetic 400s with 75 grain half out and 200 up front. 2.5" parabolics. It did really well last year so im sure it will do just fine this season.

Like the thread in the archery forum but for the traditional guys.

I'll start......

I'm back to shooting my early 2000 model Pittsley Predator recurve. It's 47 lbs at 28" and I draw it right at 28". Just worked up some new arrows for it, Easton Axis Traditionals, 340s full length, double brass inserts w/ 150 grain points and 3 rivers carbon collars. With wraps and three 4" feathers they weigh in at 670 grains. I recently switched to shooting 3 under with a 3 under Wilson super leather tab.

God Bless.
1962 Bear Polar 66" Zebra wood.

I am shooting a fairly uncommon but awesome O.L. Adcock ACS. For a hybrid longbow it is extremely fast and feels great on the shot. I have yet to shoot a deer with it but have been quite proficient with it out to 35 yards with it in the past. Managed to pick this bow up nearly 7-8 years ago and rarely see them for sale (Well I shoot LH so even rarer to see them for sale)

61” Hurst Prana 2 piece. 60@31. Smooth and fast. We get along pretty good most of the time.

My Ga “11 point” from 2020. Not my first trad kill ever, but it was my first trad kill since making the switch to all trad archery.
