I've got 3 Strothers and a Hickory Creek inline xbow. Since xbows aren't legal here, that'd be a Strother. Either a '12 XS Rush, '13 Wrath SHO, or '10 SR-71.

My Bighorn custom recurve 46#, going on 30 years old.

If I do and don't have a lot of time, the old reliable 91 PSE Fire Flite. IF I have time, Brackenbury recurve about the same age. Both work so well I"ve never moved forward.

Now if the animals would hold still at 25 or 30 yards I might buy a newer faster bow, but they don't at the home place. I'm betting moose might though.. may have to find out and practice further out again like I did years ago before I found out the animal could move well before the arrow got there....

Hoyt Carbon Defiant for me also. Tried the new ones, nothing I liked better than this one.

Waiting to see what bowtech releases this year. There is some new technology that they put on a target bow thats supposed to trickle down to the hunting line. Aside from cam timing adjustments all other aspects of tuning will not require a bow press. I didnt get to hunt at all last yr. May not get to again this yr. But if i do ill probably have a bowtech in hand. Or maybe an old obsession def con 6

I haven't hunted with a bow for 9 years and my old bow is, well old, and in bad shape. I had bought my wife a Bowtech Infinite Edge bow and had the draw and weight set up for her. This bow is supposed to be very adjustable so I am going to see about getting it set up for me for this year.

I shoot a custom 62" Palmer take down recurve, 50# draw weight. I make my own arrows from shafts I get through 3 Rivers Archery and tip them with Wensel Woodsman broadheads or Zwickey Black Diamonds. If I'm not carrying the Palmer, I shoot an old but pristine 60" Groves Spitfire, also 50# with the same arrows as the Palmer.

Not sure why though I am surprised to see the high ratio of traditional feed back here. More power to you! So if I were to give Traditional a try again what length bow would a 30 " draw 6' 2" stature guy be looking for?

My 66" Toelke Whip longbow easily handles 31" draw, iirc, poundage is up around 60lbs, Dan said I couldn't/wouldn't hurt that bow.
