Just picked these two up in the last week or so. A '65 Bear Kodiak recurve and a John Schulz made Hill longbow

I bought 6 custom longbows in the last 5 weeks

beeswax and work it in with a piece of leather

These are my hunting arrows for this year. The orange fletched woodies are for my longbows and the Gamegetter 500's are for my recurve

The Dorado is a sweet shooting bow...glad you're having fun with it. I fletch with a helical..as much twist as I can get on it. As for the Motec's..nice heads, very sturdy and strong but they can be a little tough to get a good edge on them. Once you do though, they seem to hold it very well. I mostly shoot Magnus Stingers. They're incredibly sharp right out of the package, they fly great, and they have a lifetime warranty. This year, I'll be shooting some old Bear 130gr Super Razorhead's

My go-to recurve is a TradTech 17" Titan aluminum riser. The limbs on it now are Samick BF Extreme mediums at 46# making a 60" bow. This is an ILF bow meaning I can shoot any limb from any manufacturer as long as it's ILF. I have 6 different sets of limbs that I can shoot on this riser, ranging from 20#-57#. I mostly shoot Easton Gamegetter 500's(2016's) but I do shoot some lightweight carbons(Easton Lightspeed 500's) off it too. I use an Alpine Soft-Loc quiver...either a 3-arrow or a 5-arrow...for hunting[ATTACH=CONFIG]13540[/ATTACH]

These will be my hunting bows for this year. Top to bottom: 62" Howard Hill Ruffed Grouse, 48#@26.5"...64" Zebra War Eagle, 51#@26.5"...70" Zebra Grevy, 53#@26.5"(my favorite bow)...17" Titan ILF riser with 46# Samick BF Extreme medium recurve limbs

Big-bodied 6pt..2nd to the last day of the season. Got to my property at 12:00 noon on a Friday, was in my stand and shot him at 12:15 following a rub line. I used a 65# Jennings Sonic XL compound with 2216's tipped with a 140gr 4-blade Wasp Cam-Lok broadhead that busted thru both shoulders...dropped within 30yds

These will be on the hunting arrows this year. Proven design, scary sharp, fly great, and just plain cool

Whatever shoots best from your bow. I shoot mostly aluminum's off my recurves and longbows but I do shoot some carbons off a couple of my 'curves

LAS and 3Rivers will have everything you need as far as traditional archery. Also, the trad-only forums have classifieds and many sponsors that sell everything you'd need.

I recently picked up a set of ILF recurve limbs for one of my risers, a new longbow, and a doz. Easton Lightspeed 500 shafts

1974. The 1st KISS album(still have it too)

These are awesome youth bows and they also trade-in program when they need to upgrade to a bigger bow Instock Youth Bows : St. Joe River Bows, We May Not Make the Most Bows but they are The Sexiest!

I'll shoot a 12-week DART league starting next month. I shoot the traditional class

Congrat's on the new bow. The Super K was one of Bear's best shooting bows, IMO. I had a '72 SK that was my go-to bow for quite a few years and just recently traded it for a custom recurve. I sure miss that bow!

I've been using the same Buck 112 for 25 yrs

There was a case reported in Adams Co. of an infected deer on a commercial deer farm. There are no confirmed cases of CWD in the wild. The PGC set up a DMA(disease mgmt. area) that's about 600-sq. miles involving York and Adams counties. Any deer killed in this area has to go to a check station to be tested

Sunday hunting is allowed but each zone has it's own regulations regarding that....such as private land or public, weapons, counties

Easton 2016, 2114, and 1916's...depending on the bow I'm shooting

I just picked this up a couple of weeks ago. RER XR t/d custom recurve, 60" 50#@28". She'll be spending alot of time in the stand with me this year.

.400 deflection and leave full-length...cut to tune. Carbon Express Heritage 250 or GoldTip Traditional 5575's are both good shafts

Browning made great bows...and you don't find too may Medallions in that heavy of a weight. I have 4 different Browning's myself(had about 12 or so at one time), but a 60# bow will kick your butt all day long. I have a 56# Nomad that's just too much weight to shoot comfortably for any length of time and maintain decent form and accuracy so it just sits on the rack until I sell it. But you got the bow so you may as well try it. Any idea what kind of arrow you want to shoot...aluminum, carbon? If you plan on shooting off the shelf, feathers are a must. Get yourself a good glove or tab(I prefer a leather-faced tab) and a stringer.

If you're just starting out, start with a light weight bow. 30-35lbs would be a good starting weight. The Samick Sage is a great starter bow for around $200, but they're usually on back order at most dealers. It's a take-down and when you're ready for heavier limbs, you can buy them for around $70 or so. Ebay is another place to check out. You can buy bows there all day for under $100 but if you don't know what you're looking for, you can get burned...so be careful if you go that route. I buy them there all the time and have bought some great shooters for very little cash.
