Thought I posted on this awhile ago, but don't see it so I must have gotten interrupted ..
Quite a few years ago I returned to trad bows. Most of my friends- well all of them actually have either stayed with compounds or moved on to cross bows. I don't care what they shoot; I just enjoy shooting instinctively, and we have a great time.
My hunting bows range from 50# to 55#s. 50# Liberty chief longbow 53# Blacktail recurve 54# Rampart longbow 55# Tall Tines recurve
Getting to the point where I am struggling a bit about which bow to take to Canada this fall on a bear hunt. I will probably use either a STOS two blade or Grizzley SB two blade, depending on what weight I need.
Last year I used the Blacktail with a Sitka Spruce shaft and the Stos 160 grain head to take a 6 ft black bear. I got a complete pass thru lungs shot and the boar travelled about 60 yards before dropping.
