    I have a custom composite recurve that I love to use. I string it up with a double loop string and a quiver of broadhead arrows.

    It's simple, but it gets the job done.

    PSE Compound. I am pretty anal about my shot placement and I just could never get the kind of grouping I needed with anything but a compound. I want to be able to put my hand around my entire group of 5 before I feel responsible enough to make a clean kill. I've taken a few with this bow and enjoy it much more than crowded rifle season. Deer is the only animal to date I've taken with a bow, perhaps I will find a bear or moose sometime to add to the list.

    Hey Brother, I've moved much closer to you now... we should attempt a hunt sometime, it would be nice to shake your hand and share some beer!

    I've got two recurves and a compound. One recurve is set up for bow fishing and the other is just for slinging arrows in camp.

    I mainly hunt archery and mainly use my compound. The bow fishing bow is a take down. The compound is a Redhead Kronic made by Bowtech. My brother still has the Darton recurve I had when I was a kid.

    BTW, my nephew used a cross bow to take his first deer yesterday morning. My dad and brother were beside him. My brother snapped this picture with his iphone.

    Yeah, down here that may be the deer of a lifetime. Up there its a walk out the backdoor.

    Still he was pretty pumped and my dad lives down here so how cool was it that he got to be there for his grandsons first buck.

    I use primitive bows for bow hunting whatever is in season. Wish I could try bow fishing... not legal here.
