What bow are you shooting this year, 2020?

I’m shooting a 45lb Toelke Chinook and a 44lb Border Covert Hunter. Mostly
 
Since we are all alike here I feel I can admit this to y'all, I think I have a problem!! I think I am addicted to traditional gear because I can never decide on just one bow, I think I need some help!!! LOL But seriously I do seem to rotate through my bows but I shoot all of them alot so I feel confident enough to do so as long as I can shoot them accurately!! I go from a Sky hybrid @70# to Black Widow Silver Anniversary @ 71# to a 60# Samick Spirit II but if I am shooting alot I usually shoot my 50# Wing Slimline or one of my other lower weight bows! See I told you I had a problem LOL!!! And to be perfectly honest my Samick shoots just as good if not better than my more expensive bows so really it is all in how it pairs up with the shooter!
 
Samick sage marked 45# but actually pulls 40# at 28". Tuned up so easy with 2016/2018 aluminums with 150 zwicky up front and 3 4" shield feathers. Super light with a 4 arrow eagles flight quiver.
 
I still use my (Bow of Choice) 1968 Bear Super Kodiak 60" 40# with (Micro Flite 8 Arrows once in a while), normally carbon/5" shield feathers with Bear Razors Heads. I have a few heads that I retired because they are too thin now. Paid $98.00 on a weekly layaway plan at Bison Archery, South Buffalo, NY at 16 pumping gas at $.19 to pay for it. My back up bow or when Bear hunting I use 1972 Bear Super Kodiak 60" 55# I bought in 1972 while attending PSC College. I did break down and bought a compound Darton Renegade 70# in 1997 on an Elk hunt trip to Colorado. I use this when I do not get enough practice shooting bare bow, it's like shooting a rifle. It has wheels so I can drag it out if I'm tired. I also have Red Wing Hunter by Wing Archery 58" 53# that I inherited from a friend. I only use this at a 3D bow shoot that honors him. The last 2 bows I have are my warm up bows I use to tune my muscles, they are fiberglass one recurve 30# and the other long bow 25# from my childhood.
