I just had a 63# Toelke Whip built for me; a few months back. LOVE it! I had him build me a two piece takedown....yep, it will be coming along with me on my Dalton Road hunt this summer!
main hunting bow is a Centaur triple carbon, 54@29
Bow i'm playing with at league, titan riser, border hex4 limbs
back up hunting bow is Caribow Wolverine 54@28
Arrow set up GT 55/75, 100 brass, 200 tips for 623 grains. Broadheads, Abowyer Bone heads.
for you guys looking at the aluminum riser-carbon limb recurves, take a look at avianbows.com, ive been shooting one of the prototypes for 3 years and it is unbelievable, smooth, fast and accurate. and made 100% in montana i think, which is a good thing.
well for a recurve I shoot a 58in custom static recurve that a friend made, 52 pounds at 26.5 in. For a longbow Im shooting a howard hill tembo 58 pounds at 26.5 in. Someday I will have a hoyt buffalo.
Nobody hunting with a bow (or arrows) they made themselves?? My boys have all made their own long bows, several in fact including bamboo backed bows and some self bows. They're helping me with making my first selfbow now and it very fun and will be very satisfying to hunt with come September. We are also working making wood arrows with turkey feathers from last years bird. Tons to learn but what fun!
