55# Martin Savannah most of the time. 59# Bamboo Longhunter once in a while. Got about a 10 yr old Martin compound that gets shot less and less every year.

High Country Brute Force set at 74#, sporting a Trophy Taker rest, Spott Hogg Sight, Winners Choice strings a bunch of Limb Saver stuff and a stabilizer that I turned, tuned and threaded myself.

I shoot both longbows and recurves of the glass persuasion. Also I shoot selfbows and composite wood bows of my own making. Always in the 44-49 pound range. Which bow I take huntin on a given day depends on what has been shooting well for my in the last few days. I try to shoot 3-4 times week throughout the year. My good luck that there is an indoor range within a couple miles of me. The outdoor winter shooting here can at times be brutal...
Here are couple pix of one of my osage longbows:

I shoot a 70" martin cougar m-41 it's about 10 years old but it shoots great. deer die the same non-trendy gear. however i recently purchased an old 40# pearson recurve and plan to learn it and get something in the 55# range. traditional stuff is cool.

Welcome yakimaarcher, noticing your handle, do you belong to any of the local clubs or go to their shoots?  I don't, and haven't, but am thinking about checking them out if anyone had any info.  about the different clubs.  I think there are about 3 of them within range of my home but wouldn't know which one is better.  I was hoping to get my girls involved in shooting at them as well.

I don't have any pictures of my bow but for the last few years I shot a Martin Mamba Recurve with cedar arrows. It is a blast to shoot but takes so much practice so I switched to a Reflex Compound with an alpine quiver, carbon arrows, magnus stinger broadheads, copper john site.

I shoot a compound Hoyt ZX 200 at 70lbs, 05 or 06 model...cant remember...it was my little brothers..but he bought a new one so I am using his old one. I have only recently got back into bow hunting, (used to use an old Black Bear, which got me a nice deer:) but am really looking forward to doing it more and more....elk season, here I come.

she's a beauty.
once i get the high tech compound bow thing figured out and get some blood on her, i'd like to switch to a stick-bow. baby steps for right now, you know.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I shot a 02' Hoyt Ultratec. Just got into the archery thing and am loving it. My bow is set up with Spot Hogg SDP, Trophy Taker drop away rest, and Hoyt stabilizer. I am Easton Excels with 85gr Thunderheads. Can't wait for my first archery kill. I had a buck at forty yards Saturday broadside pin set just behind the shoulder, but he wouldn't turn his head so I could see if he was legal. Had to let down (arm got tired) and he jump behind a bush and disappeared. :bash:

My bow was ahead of its time and now like 10 years old but Ive gone to the bow shop twice money in pocket to get the newest greatest bow and just cant find anything worth the 700+ new bow cost.

I shoot a 32" PSE Stingray compound. Its a 78 pound draw but 85% :IBCOOL: let off. Great brace height and still pretty fast! I have shot the Carolina whisker biscuit for 7-8 years and may never give it up. I trade sights as often as wives (often) and the 3 pin stacked pin trophy ridge aint making me happy. Ill probably switch to a 5 pin regular pin set up with a 0-20 yard tritium pin.

I shoot the Easton Axis Sti arrows and think I love them after 2 made a clean recovery after a 2 mile ride in my 5x5 bull unscathed! and as always, the Thunderhead 125's. Ill keep them until I find a strong fixed blade with a much bigger cutting surface.

Ive looked at several Mathews, I came closest to buying a Bowtech Tribute in 80 pound draw...and a good deal would still tempt me.  The speed of the PSE x-force is good but the brace height isnt very forgiving for hunting purposes.... but thats just me.

My 10 year old PSE has killed dozens of deer, dozens of boars, tons of small game, and one Western WA 5x5 elk. SO, its gonna be hard to say goodbye.

I shoot a 2007 Bowtech Allegiance with a spott hogg 7 pin, and a trophy taker drop away.  LongTatLaw thats a nice looking bow your wife shoots :chuckle:.  If anyones iterested they can have to Bowtech for $550.00.  The new 08 are out its time to upgrade.
