I read an article that Fred Eichler wrote about hunting big game with his recurve. I think he said that he has killed 18 moose with his set up (that sounds high) . I shoot pretty much the same set up as far as speed and weight go.
Planning my first moose hunt for this fall and was wondering how much weight should I be pulling?
Here's my set up-
52lbs draw weight
Axis arrows
Arrow weight 540gn
Arrow speed 188fps
Broadhead single bevel 2 blade
Looks pretty one sided. GO HUNTING!
My gear is all good working gear and will get me by for a few more years. Maybe I'll just buy some better clothes and call it good.
I talked to the wife and it looks like the moose hunt is a go. YES!
Thanks for all the input.

I tend to keep it to myself, cause I feel that people get jealous. Not because I'm some great hunter, but because I hunt a lot and travel as much as I can. It seems that people then tend to think that make a lot more $ than what I really do. When hunting is the ONLY thing I spend it on.
Here is an example. A&H longbow and all the fixings will run me about 2000$. A Candian moose hunt through an outfitter that I've used before. About 2000$, gas included.
This year I am thinking about buying some new gear. Manly a new Hoyt CST and a new A&H longbow. Maybe a few new hunting duds too. As I start doing the math I realized holy cow that's a lot of money and I could go on a couple out of state hunts for the cost of this stuff.
I am very blessed...
I've been watching the push up challenge and thought why not a elk calling challenge. Seems like a good way to learn from all of us a rokslide. Does anybody want to give it a try?

I agree completely. I think I use to be more successful when I was a kid in blue jeans hunting. Now that I have a ton of gear I suck.
Always feels good to know that everything is tuned and ready to go tho
