Here is the best part of my setup.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

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'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
