How many trad guys are on here?

[wcw280]

Just seeing how many hunt with a struggle stick on tndeer. Post up your rig if you do. I'll start.

Tanasi Warrior 55# @ 27"
Easton injection 480's with ethics in/outs
Simmons interceptors

I've got a HH Tembo I like a lot/ have hunted with some.
But, if anyone wants to give a stick bow a try on the cheap, PM me, I've got several that need new homes with someone younger.

I love to bow hunt, but I stay away from traditional for now by sticking with my compounds. I know how I get and I would be consumed by it. I admire it from afar for now.

Robertson Stykbow Fatal Styk, Bodnik Quick Stick. I have a bunch of others too, but these two see the most hunting time.

Mostly, I prefer my selfbows that I make, but I just haven't been as motivated to use them in the last few years.

Big doe taken with my Robertson Mystical Overdrive Longbow a few years ago.

 

[Lost Lake]

This one was a challenging target to hit as small as she was, but I can't think of a better tasting deer when your wife mentions that she'd like roasts.

Robertson Fatal Styk.

 

[wcw280]

Reminds me of the one I killed with flint.

 

[Harold Money jr]

Home made bow approx. 52@29, 55/75 gold tip with 125gr stingers and 100gr inserts or 175gr Simmons sharks with 50gr inserts. It'll be in the tree with me the next time I get to hunt.

Life got in the way this season and just couldn't make it happen, hopefully I'll be ready next season. I have a lot of respect for those of you that consistently harvest with trad bows.

Would love to see some of the bows you made.

Mike Treadway Black Swamp 49/28. Made quiver to go with it

 

[Lost Lake]

Would love to see some of the bows you made.

Here are a couple. Both Osage Orange, and the snakeskin backed one is a Holmegaard style bow made from a crooked, snakey "character" stave. I have a sister stave to it from the same tree, just waiting for 15 years now for me to turn it into a bow.

The unbacked one was made from a small diameter stave from a 6" tree. Lots of humps and waves to it. It's made in the Classical American flatbow style of the 1930's. I chose to put cow horn tips on it from some Texas Longhorn roping steers we had at the time.

I don't shoot these much anymore because I went to a different shooting style which forced me to drop about ten pounds of draw weight, and these are a smidge too heavy for comfortable shooting now.

I need to get off my duff and make a couple more for next season.

WOW

Im a sucker for custom bows.

Ive only had a couple but these are amazing.

I had shoulder surgery a couple years ago and still haven't gotten to where I can pull anymore that 35lb.
My nicest bow is a White Wolf, made by Tony Semenuk in Thorn Hill Tn. I've got a chunk in it and can't even shoot it. Mine is his Long Hunter.

Thanks!

Oh man I feel for you. Hopefully you can take your time and heal, then build back up to it. A lonely bow just waiting to be used is sad indeed.

 

[knightrider]

That's awesome! I keep saying im going to get one but haven't had the time to dive full in

 

[Wade195]

I listed Mine here the other day.

Should make someone a nice setup

 

[recurve60#]

Ive retired my recurve, but use to kill a bunch of deer. Only pic i could find.

 

[tree_ghost]

I've only killed a doe and it was with my Hoyt Buffalo 55@28
The one in the pic is what I'm using now. BJ Thunderchild 49@28. I missed a 140" 10pt in Ky on this hunt the pic was taken. Nov 5th I believe
