Here is the best part of my setup.

Hoyt Katera at 75lbs, .340 fmj arrows, 125 grain magnus snuffer ss broadhead, 6 arrow fuse quiver, mbg 4 pin ascent sight, carbon blade stabilizer and a qad hunter rest. Seems to work great on elk.  Hopefully will have a carbon spyder turbo within the next week or so.

Hot pink of course!!
Waxed that string and that pink pops nicely again.
Also just got finished last night making a dozen arrows. Got rid of the solid pink wrap and onto a zebra hot pink one.

How long of an arrow and how heavy of a broadhead? I'm looking at shooting VAPS or X-Impacts through my Perfexion but I haven't heard of many WA legal arrow combinations. I'm considering a 300 spine arrow with a 125 grain head but I'm not sure if the cams would prefer something stiffer.

I use 90 gr outserts, I use 100 Gr broadheads. They fly like darts and go through animals like butter...

I'm curious about the same thing but with a twist. I'm curious about what other recurve bow hunters are using for this. I see everything here from 65 to 80 lb draw weight for compounds. I used to hunt with an 80 lb compound, but now I'm limited to a 40 lb draw on my recurve (Samick Journey), due to (both) arm injuries about five years ago.  Since then, I've been doing it old-school with a recurve (rather than asking for special medical dispensation for a crossbow). I'm told it's enough as long as I have a clear shot at fairly close range. Hitting where I'm aiming is no issue. Anyway, I'd like to hear from the recurve guys. There's got to be some out there.  Thanks
