Here's a photo that I had on hand of my Buck Pathfinder and Bear Kodiak Hunter - both, circa 1975.

Tom,
That is a real great set up you have there and a very good idea about a spare bow.

For my Bear White Tail II ,I use Easton arrows with Ted Nugent broadheads.

It is quite common for arrows to go through game. Superior designed broadheads have come a long way over the years.

TAH,
I like the set up with your Bear Kodiak and the Buck knife. Nothing wrong with a Buck knife,probably most of us here have one or many more!!! I plead guilty to that!!!

Guilty on the Buck Knives!!

I think Warren wears Pink Bows to cover his bald spot I'll see if I can get him to post some pictures.

Wait till you're my age. I'll have the last laugh. And it's not a "bald spot", just a "look of the future"

Warren,
I hope you heal soon from all the arrows Chief slung at you.
Also it's not a bald spot.It's a solar panel for a sex machine.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!!

Lol, now that's about the best lines in a long time Billy, especially the sex machine line. Guess we hijacked this thread, sorry bout that.

Warren,
It is not hijacking,it is "diversion of discussion".

Getting off the sex machine kick and back to bows.

It has been a number of years since I pulled a bow back and can't even start pulling my Bear Whitetail II so I purchased a bow trainer and am including it in my weight workout routine.

Right now I am doing repettions with 30 lbs and finishing up with 40#. Probably by a couple of weeks will be up to 55#.

Only owned one bow Wayne. It was a Bear Alaskan II. Gave up after I injured my rotator cuff. Never bothered again. I might consider a cross bow now legal in NY.

Warren,
I was looking into crossbows as well.

I like the simple Excalibur bows as they can be fixed in the field and are pretty much bullet proof.

The "bicycle bows" out there look way too complicated for me.
