That is the problem with having more than one good bow. I now have four in contention.

Probably my Tall Tines 58" recurve with 2016 or 55/60 Surewoods. Just because I have not had enough time with the other bows yet. But I would like to use my St Patrick Lake Mushin Stick also.i have a quiver coming for it so I'll try it also.

this year it's going to be a BB warf with medium Nika N3 limbs for a 64" bow that's 38# at my 30" draw. 2016's with 150 gr Woodsman heads. 525 gr total arrow weight. Not as pretty as a custom but it does shoot good.

Home made cedars with Ace standards and Wensel woodsman's

Going with the 60" double carbon Omega Native for the fall, 45# @ 28" but drawing to 29. CX Maxima Hunter 250s with 100 grain brass insert and 150 Magnus Stingers; 510 grains total. Will be getting to hunt my first NY archery season since 2021 after being out of state for 2 years; took a doe with this bow that year.

I'll probably go with the Toelke Chinook again as I just got it last year. Its 60" 48@28 will be using Day6 HD arrows with Simmon Tiger Sharks again.

Nice Gobbler JJ. Almost bought a Native a few years ago. I don't think he makes that model anymore.

I'll be using my same setup that I've used since I started shooting a recurve. Black Widow PCH V 56" 52@28

I'm shooting doug fir shafts, 5" shield cut turkey feathers from birds we killed, and ACE standard broadheads. I've had really good results with this setup so far. I don't remember the total arrow weight, but I think it was somewhere around 520.

Thanks. No, this model is no longer made, the form warped and became unusable. This was one of the last ones made, it was a slightly longer prototype made for a show that got canceled by Covid and I got lucky.

Kegan does have a new short R/D model out now, called the Dart, a little shorter at 56". Will be my next bow purchase.

My Wild Horse Creek Destiny 62" 50# with cedars I finished and green Bear RazorHeads.
