Your setup

I just received the new timberghost TGX superstatic : awsome !
I already have a Tilberghost G3ss for 3 years, this new one is even better.
Both are in the 55'# at my draw length shooting 680 grains micro diameter shafts tipped with centaur short mag (320 grains in front).FB_IMG_1644244912934.jpgIMG-20220108-WA0005.jpg
Kent is a very nice guy who stands behind if a problem occurs
 
Anyone shot or shoot a Bear 59 Kodiak? One of my favorite looking bows but don’t want a bow totally based on looks. I’m sure there are better bows but I can’t help but to have a little thing for Bear Trad bows.

I have a Bear Kodiak Magnum 52" 45#. What they call a Greyling Green. It was the first traditional bow I bought, and I shot it a lot. I liked it and shot it quite a bit but gravitated toward Hill style longbows for hunting. I always thought it would be well suited to treestand use, being so short.
 
I had a older kodiak magnum and sold it like an idiot! It was a sweet bow even being short. Never noticing too much stacking. I did mean the best kodiak 59 style in my post. Updated it. Forgot how many kodiak bows they have

Shot one on several occasions and it is a very good bow. But the price tag is steep for a one year warranty and a production bow.

Out of curiosity, what’s your 55# set up shooting those 680 grain arrows at?
And what’s your DL?
Not that speed really matters. (Obviously not based on the carnage in your pic…)

They shoot as good as they look. One of the finest recurves ever made. Copied by many. I have shot a few of the originals and a couple of the newer ones and I cannot tell apart. I don’t own one but have been looking myself.
 
I been out in the garage two evenings playing with a set of 7.2 medium
limbs on a 21" riser. 66" bow @52#.
Piledriver 250 arrow with 100 gr. insert and 200 grain point, 30 inches long to nock valley.
Total weight 644 grains, 12.3 gpp
I got a robinhood at 15 yards. Sucks.
Needs approval at 30 yards. Maybe this weekend.
Only 15- 20 mph winds with gusts over 30.
Soon anyways.
 
Letub, thats a beauty you have there.
You know my story so not in my future.
Besides I have too many bows as it is.

My goal is to take a public land white tail with the 1974 Herters Perfection Itasca or the 1969 Herters International Hunter. No success last year but I feel like I learned a lot. I’m shooting really high FOC 3Rivers/Easton Traditional Only carbon arrows and Steelforce 300 and 225 grain single bevels with 100 grain brass inserts.

I’m moving into my first house this summer though and will have a sizeable workshop. I’m going to try and produce some wood arrows by the end of the month. I’m thinking 3Rivers POC shafts, probably won’t even stain the first couple batches, gasket lacquer, and fletching tape. I might get a little crazy with staining/cresting over the winter.

Any deer I could take with a 50 year old Minnesota bow and homemade arrows would be the hunting trophy of my life.

I also just picked up a beautiful Grayling Green Bear Kodiak Magnum last month from RMS Gear that is practically unshot. That is a beautiful bow that I can see being great for still hunting.
