60# Martin Firecat compound bow and a 50# Martin Jaguar take-down recurve. That combo is great! Except i lost a few arrows in the snow so i haven't been shooting in the past week..(Down to 2 from my original 8)
Make every shot count cause ya might not get another.

ANCIENT Hoyt/Easton Gamegetter II (first bow, wheels like quarters)

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

just got my maxxis 31 on friday, got it sighted in today. this bow is so nice and is really fast. I only have a 26 inch draw and at 70lbs and with a 420 grain arrow i shot 275 feet per sec. i would recommend this bow to any one.

Pronghorn T/D longbow 58@28
Horne Ridge Runner recurve 69@28
Raptor Signature Flatbow 57@28

These are my 3 hunters, though the Horne is new to me and I haven't had a chance to get it out, plus a few more that need to get some field time.

your numbers do not add up?
the maxxis has a IBO speed of 323fps
so at 26" draw you are 4" under that is a 10-12fps loss per inch....that=40-48fps loss
so 323-40=283fps or 323-48=275
so now the arrow ..the bow is shot with a 350 grain arrow and you are shooting 420grains
so 420-350=70 grains so 70 div by 3=23fps loss in arrow speed
so just in draw and arrow that should be 63-71fps loss
323-63=260fps

still a great bow but its not that fast are you sure its 26" you should have #2 cam with module A
what arrow are you shooting? and what tip? and how long?
it is real hard to get a 26 or 27" arrow to weight 420grains.
I can set one up when I get back to the shop next week.
