Single string set ups

[Wirrex]

You like it? This is the original titan which most say they like the best. I thought it would be fun to play with limbs...

I loved it. If you don’t like it I’ll take it off your hands.

I'm shooting an OMP (Samick Sage) 45#, 62" with a 28"draw, flinging Gold Tip carbons tiped with Zwickey Delta 2 blade heads. I'm going to add weight to the arrows this summer. I'm using Fast Flite string shooting off of the shelf.

 

[Recurveaholic]

Depending on the quarry I am after and how I am hunting I shoot a Black Widow Silver Anniversary edition 71#@31" , a Sky Rogue by Earl Hoyt Jr 70#@28" , Spirit II takedown 60#@28" , and Bear Super Kodiak 45#@28" all with fast flight strings and 32" spruce arrows with 150gr heads which makes 589gr overall and just started using 3" feathers and hope to add some heavier heads up front! But the crazy thing is they fly great out of all my bows even though I have them set up for my heavier bows! Even though these are my main bows I still enjoy taking out the bows I first started with like my Shakespeare Para-bow and my Ben Pearson Mustang & Hunter!!! My problem is they are all special so it is hard to pick just one hence my handle on the site hahaha!!!! Can we start a support group for us stick bow aholics??

I think I have 8 trad bows....the titan on the way will be 9....that's down quite a bit from mid winter....wow I have a problem...too...

I thought I would post a picture of my longbow. 5 lams, one being .020 carbon. The carbon made a noticeable difference.

Mainly shooting a Tradtech Lobo with long TT RC wood limbs. Whitetail is 48#@29” full length 350 VAP’s with 200 grain VPA 3 blade. For elk I use 5# heavier limbs with full length 300 spine axis.

HAHAHA!
I"m mostly selling them because the arms are too short!
I"m about 6'3", 188lbs(about 15lbs overweight right now :-/) and have a little over a 76" wingspan..anchor at right corner of mouth, thumb on right cheek bone.

How are you 6’3” wearing 32” waist 33” legs. You most have the longest torso known to man

Im shooting trad again..had about well over 100 different longbows and recurves of all makes..sold or given away just about all of them except for a handful..been shooting my das recurve since 2011 until 2018..hunted with couple compounds but wanted to go back this year to my das..a very good friend loaned me his das longbow limbs and got my blood boiling again to shoot a single string so this year im gonna do it..50# at my draw..gonna use it this year..have a endless string on my jig right now waiting to be served and will make a flemish as well to see what this bow will like better..gonna shoot either 175 or 200 grain centaur broadhead with a axis 500 or 400 spine..depending what works better once i really start to tune..real excited for this year..hunting out of saddle and shooting a stick again

 

[onestringer]

Currently a Fred Asbell Custom Bighorn. 70# @ 29" recurve. I draw 31.25. Arrows are xx75 2216, 31.75" bop. 585g total, 150 up front. Original bear razor heads with glue/screw full length aluminum converter.

I have a tradtech titan coming though, so not sure what I'll end up shooting this year...

Honestly dont remember! I think they Carnbon OMP maybe? I traded a guy a lever bow for it, and honestly didnt really care what the limbs were...just really interested in trying out an ILF and heard gret things about the original titan riser.

Good grief that fumed ash bow is stunning.

Put a jager grip on that riser and you will never want to shoot anything else!

I’m not officially in the club yet. I purchased a Martin Jaguar and shot it for a few months but sold it.

I am going to a guys place this weekend that has 70+ vintage bows. I am considering the following:
Bear Kodiak Magnum
Bear Kodiak Super Magnum
Bear Kodiak Hunter

He said he has a bunch of other Bear and Wing Archery bows. I think I’ll just shoot the lot and see what I like.

What Bear bows do y’all like?

I'd lean towards the Kodiak Hunter if I were you, the other two Bears are very finicky of form. Shoot a Grizzly as well if he has one.

Whats your draw length? Anything over 28" and the kmag/super are going to stack and have finger pinch. I had the kmag--it shoots well, I draw 30.25 and it felt like I hit a wall at 28. IPersonally I"d lean toward the kodiak hunter. They made that in a takedown as well. If you draw 28" you;ll like the kmag--its a great short woods/treestand bow.

I have a Kodiak Magnum 45# and like it a lot. Great for blind hunting turkey and in close quarters. I also have a Bear Montana longbow 60# I shoot a lot but never seem to grab it for hunting. A lot of guys call the Montana a workhorse and I probably should start hunting with it more.

Thanks for the info guys. I like the size of the kmag but that makes sense. I draw over 28” so I account for the weight stack but I hadn’t thought about finger pinch at those small angles. I’ll stay away from the kmag.

I draw over 28" too. Try shooting them all before you rule one out! I found good deals on both bows at big box stores (1/3 of listed price). One was used and looked like it was barely shot.

I wasn't saying you shouldn't shoot it. I have one and I shoot it well...not as good as a longer bow but still pretty good. I draw right at 28" so for me, its a good little bow but I work constantly on form. It'll let you know in a hurry when your form is off. That's why I recommended the longer Kodiak Hunter, especially if your new and learning.
