I got into shooting Trad about 3 years ago. Started with a Samick Sage and was able to take a young 8pt with it the first year. Then met a local guy that taught me how to build glass laminated take downs and have shot my own bows since.
The bow I hunted with last year was a 62" - 38 lbs @ 28". I draw 31" and it's 43 lbs at my DL. Shoots a 32" Black Eagle Instinct at 165 fps with a total arrow weight of 540 gns. Total pass through on a doe this last season.
Here's a pic of last years hunting bow and some others I made that I either sold or gave away to friends.

Jonnyjuice, Wow what a nice set up. The bow's you are making are stunning !I got into shooting Trad about 3 years ago.

Thanks, Viper1NJ -
I've never quite understood posts like this. There are like 3 million bows out there (figuratively speaking), new. used and vintage, no way you're going to get a representative sampling. It gets worse when draw weights and arrow specs are given. Is the weight stated too heavy (or less likely too light) for you and does the guy replying have a clue as how to shoot or tune a bow?
If you would tell us what YOU would like in a "trad" bow, and some previous history, we might be able to give you better answers. Just trying to help.
Viper1 out.
Lmao, I'm shooting Asian traditional, specifically Mongolian style so I don't think I'm of much help 😜Hi all. If you don't mind, what is your set up ? Pictures included would be great !

"exotic" = anything more exciting to shoot than an aluminum can.Solid advice.
But show the pics anyway. I like looking at them while sitting in a blind waiting on pigs or exotics!

Turkey is a great trophy with a trad bow. Congratulations!Life is too short for one setup, LOL. Started shooting hybrid longbows a few years ago and prefer them to recurves. Here's the 4 Omegas I shoot currently, 41-45# @ 28 but draw to 29", all tuned for the same arrow.

It's all about hunting for me, my targets are live animals. Here's my recent turkey from south FL taken on 3/5 with the 60" Native.
