I’m dropping weight and going back to the same setup I shot prior.
46# ILF recurve

It's a 19" Dryad wood riser with Uukha Vx long ILF limbs making for a 64" recurve. String is 12 strand 652 endless that I make to fit. Accmos 400's cut 31" with a cheap 2 blade head.

Bow setup has been the same as the last 2 years. It shoots really well for me and I'm mostly happy with it. The UV3 is leaving a lot to be desired with the pin brightness, so that's hopefully going to be swapped out soon.

- Mathews V3X 33, 75lbs @ 28.5", Landslyde/UV3 combo with the double pin, Hamskea Epsilon Rest, Cutter Stabilizers
- Easton Axis Long Range 4mm, 300 Spine, ~483 grains, 125gn Sevr Hybrids or Iron Will S125s. Shooting at 277 FPS
- 4 Fletch AAE Max Stealth

I didn't draw any tags this year, so it'll be OTC Mule/Cous deer in AZ. I amshooting the new Sevr Hybrids and will still have an Iron Will S125 in the quiver. My bareshafts, field points, Sevrs, and Iron Wills are all grouping together out to 50 yards, so I'm happy I have options on what to shoot.

 

[ATL]

Mathew’s Lift 29.5, 67#, 85% LO, 27” draw. Very basic stabilizer (no back bars, etc.)

Hamskea Everest limb driven rest.

Beereal 2.0 grip.

25.5” BE Spartan 350 shaft, 60 grain BE insert/weight combo, 100 grain Sevr 1.5, DCA Super Sabre vanes helical 3-fletch, Bohning A nock, 404 grain TAW, 14.8% FOC, 281 fps.

Spot-Hogg fixed 3-pin set 35-50-65 yards.

Acquired the Lift 29.5 in January 2024. Tuned easily. I have shot it almost daily with no issues, and great accuracy.

50 and 65 yard groups attached.

 

[Wilderlife]

A couple of pictures since I took my setup out on the weekend and killed some critters. I imagine I'll keep it like this for a fair while and it'll see use from now up to the fallow rut in April 2025 and further.

[SwiftShot]

Well after 4 decades of Bow Hunting my shoulder is shot. I need a replacement on the right and it is questionable if I will be pulling back 70 again. So my setup this year is going crossbow. I have stick and stringed it a few years then went wheels. Then back to the stick and string, then back to wheels. For the last I think 10 years I was shooting a Bowtech Carbon one. Killed a lot of elk with that thing. Well no it is on toa Ravin R 10 X. At least until I figure out the shoulder.

When not-missing is priority. Nothing beats the Hwacha!
Fires 100 arrows at once
Introduced in the 15th century, somethings just stand the test of time.
