This has been my primary go to bow for hunting and 3D for more than the past 4 years. It is my ACS CX, I have an identical back up bow and use cedar or fir arrows with either ABowyer or STOS broadheads. I have had a few flirtations along the way, and even strayed a time or two..........but this is what I keep coming back to. The Osage in the pic is new and yellow, and today the wood has mellowed to a dark brown.

I'm still in the process of tunning in my new 2011 rig. 17" Border Triple carbon ILF riser with Short HEX5 H limbs. 52#@26.5" Got it shooting Carbon Express 150's with 275gr up front quite nicely.

Since the top pic was taken I have gone back to shooting off the shelf until my T300 Hunter rest arrives.

Anyone else out there want to share your setup? I know it's been done on other forums but, thought it would be nice to see what other Tradhunters would be using this year. :D

Rick, that sounds like a deadly setup! Love that top pic. Nothing like the bend of a bow limb to make you want to be out shooting!
