Gonna Hunt Old School This Year!
After the boss vetoed me getting a new bow, I was able to come up with this ole girl for a few bucks. Browning Explorer II, 62" and 45# @ 28". I pull 29". I'm going to try and harvest my first with this vintage bow. She really shoots great. The boss dubbed her "Jorja" so, I'll have to live with that!
I played around and came up with an Arrow Dynamic Trad Lite, cut 29.5" b.o.p., 175gr tip with a total arrow weight of 513gr's. What do ya'll think?

I used to have one exactly like that. Sold it in a bonehead moment.
Re: Gonna Hunt Old School This Year!
I think it's a great idea and a nice looking bow. I did the same thing I gave away my first bow in a bonehead moment. I can't even remember who I gave it to. It was a Bear Kodiak Magnum. Now I wish I had it back. Maybe this year we can have a traditional deer hunting contest. I think most of the guy's at this site right now hunt that way or are interested in traditional.

I've got 6 uncut cedar shafts coming to try and tune to this bow. If I can get them to fly right, I'm gonna tip them with 160gr Ace broad heads. Here's hoping!

Ace is an awesome head. I shot a racoon in the neck with a 200 grainer and it almost decapitated him.
Re: Gonna Hunt Old School This Year!
I have some Stos heads on hand also but, liked the cutting diameter of the Ace better. I haven't taken any game with either head but, they both fly pretty well with the bows I've used before.
