What's your setup for bow season

Anyone out there shooting a new bow this year, if so what ya got?

Me I am shooting a new to me Checkmate Atlin Recurve, at 59lbs, shooting a 2216 alum arrow with 125 grain 2 blades with bleeders broadhead, I really enjoy shooting it over my compound. I hope to harvest a white tail early season with it.

an old bow

I haven't hunted with bow for over 20 years. I still have my old equipment. However, I am going with an experienced bow hunter this September. I am practising so that I am familiar with the bow again. But get this: it is a Bear compound bow at 60lbs; it is about 52 inches long; it is almost 30 years old. What do you think: is my older technology still good?

Since the limb went on my Forge bow, I picked up a new toy earlier this year.

Specs on my set-up
Bowtech Guardian 28" draw, 63lbs, chronoed at 260fps
GoldTip XT 5575 hunters
85g Slick Trick broadheads
Cobra 5pin Viper Sight
T.R.U. Ball copperhead release.

I am hoping to get at least one deer this fall. I took a bear this spring for my first bow kill..
