Nice stuff guys. I'm going to try a bit of a pic experiment here, so bear with me.

EDIT: Hey Mav, we're shooting pretty similar setups. Mine is a Browning Rage (PSE built I think??)

Here is my main hunting bow. Mathews Switchback with Ripcord drop away rest & Spott Hogg sight. Excellent bow! This is the elk I shot in 2006, my 2nd kill with this bow. Since then I have taken 3 more big game animals using this bow.

My goto bow, a Jack kempf flat bow.
This is a particularly fun little bow, an old ben paerson mach1, very short from the late 60's era when the short recurve was in vogue.

......yah. O.K. ...............but where's all the glitter and glam???
BTW I have a Hoyt Ultratec but unfortunately can't find any pictures...........clearly a sign that it doesn't get used near enough!

Glitter and glam? Don't need any, just a good arrow!
I do have a pretty big bear claw that hangs on an original Fred Bear back quiver
that was made in the 50's ( the quiver is signed by Glenn St. carles nad Larry D. Jones) does that count?

You can see one just like it on Glenn St. Charles' back in a photo of them heading into Kispiox country in Mr. Bear's book!
The photo was dated 1956 IIRC, I'll have to check.
BTW, I don't make my own braodheads and arrows anymore, I let other people do that ( kelly peterson and the Zwickey company to be exact!)
here's a pic of the quiver and the arrows (I beleive the take down handle was built by Glenn St, Charles and sold to Jack, who put it on the bow)

Some great lookin setups so far and animals.
Tree im pretty sure PSE does manufacture Browing bows, and i think your rage is more similiar to the PSE Nova but still along the same basics.

I haven't seen a Jack Kempf bow for the longest time. I met him once and he is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. He was pretty old back then, I wonder if he still builds bows?

I have a Chek-mate long bow and a TD recurve. I love the bows. I have seen a few othe Chek bows and have always been impressed at the quality. I work with a bowyer who was also impressed and wants to trade one of his bows for my TD recurve. I may...

Sorry Lethal for hijacking the thread a little but I don't think you saw this one and thought you might appreciate the bow
