Bought a 47# Wing Gull off fellow LW'er for $100 less than a month ago. Currently, it's the only bow I own. Removed the site, filled the holes and made a new string and some Surewood shaft arrows. Have filled my PA antlered and antlerless tags with it already and am looking forward to squirrels next weekend and rabbits the weekend after that. Expecting a new Wes Wallace Stealth 1-piece in November that I ordered 4 months ago.

Trying to stick with one bow all through the season, at least to hunt with, a Dryad Orion recurve, 53#, GT Trad 5575's with 50 gr. inserts, collars and a mixed quiver of Zwickey Eskimos and Bear Razorheads up front.
My quiver is a one-off from Oklahoma Leatherworks Side Stalker quiver. I started with my dad's 1950's King back quiver,removed the zipper pocket and knife and file pockets, cut a 4 x 12 hole in the "low" side and relocated all the straps and converted a thick,wide, well-used leather belt to be a shoulder strap. I carry it over one shoulder with the open side up, just under my elbow. Like Riverwolf's Alpha and the Side Stalker, you reach through the opening, grab a shaft and slide the arrow back a few inches until the tip clears then lift up and slide the arrow forward, out the bottom of the opening and across your bow rest into position. Less motion than with a back quiver or bow quiver. My dad had added clips around the inside of the top opening on his King 60 years ago to keep the arrows from getting all bundled up and harder to draw just one quietly, and I kept most of those because the clipped -in shafts add some rigidity and helps keep the shafts from getting cris-crossed. I did spend some new money..$9 for "yoga blocks" at Wally World. The closed cell foam is perfect for keeping all shape arrow tips in place. Works equally well for lefty or righty bows.

Gonna let the '68 Necedah rest a little this season. I just installed a new bump, shelf cover, side plate, and cat whiskers on a '73 Browning Nomad Stalker I this afternoon, and I'm happy with the first few shots. This little 52" bow will be handy in a blind since I don't really care for being 18'-20' high anymore.
