Bows

[Cody Gruchow]

what Bow does everyone use? arrows of choice? broadheads? mechanical or fixed? I shoot my Bowtech Oldglory. 65lb draw 75% letoff. all though it is a little longer than most of the bows now (40inches) but its fairly light, and it is blazing fast(328fps) my arrow of choice is the Easton N-fused carbon St Axis in realtree APG with quickspin fletchings. on the end of it i have luminocks and on the other end i shoot muzzy MX4's at 100 grain fixed heads

now that bow season is only 61 days away lets get to talking about it

[MTCOMMER]

Ive got a Parker Wildfire XP, with 30" and 65lb draw, with 80% let off - shoots pretty fast so no need to bump it to 70lb.  Im shooting Carbon Express -weight forward- RebelHunter arrows and 1-1/4" Crimson Talon Broadheads - 100grain.  My release is a Tru-Fire Hurricane.
But I may be switching to Muzzy broadheads next year, not too sure yet.  Ill be going out shooting in a few weeks and see if they still fly! 
Now I just have to apply for my Turkey license and ill be set for this year - lets hope I can get my deer and turkey!

[The General]

Well without looking and pulling it off the shelf.  I'm shooting a Hoyt vortec, Bemon arrows, Mechanical heads, 29 inch draw, and it's a tack driver.

Mathews LX with Beaman Carbon arrows and Rage broad heads.

Here is my favorite picture of my bow.  (sorry I couldn't resist)  It's a Bowtec.  It's still setup just as it was when I bought it from a fellow MNO'er several years ago.  I did replace the strings but I'm still using everything including points and arrows that I got with it. 

[Swany]

Hoyt Maxxis 31, Victory 350 arrows that are setup with Rage 100 grain 3 blades or 100 grain G5 Montec's.

[Scoop]

Matthews switchback xt 26 in.70 # draw, beman ics hunters,100 grain slick tricks broad heads, quality archery designs fall away rest

[jigglestick]

I'll throw my hat in the ring for Bear archery.
I'm shooting a done deal at 62 pounds and 29 inch draw.
beaman ics hunters tipped with muzzy 100 3 blade. hit what your aiming at and kill it.

my back up bow is a reflex buckskin at 62 pounds.

thinking about upgrading to the bear attack. we'll see how the work season pans out.
I'd rather spend the money on a new lone wolf climber if I can only do one or the other.

Hoyt Maxxis 31 at 30 inches set at 68 pounds and shooting Easton FMJ's tiped with either a G5 T3 or a Rocket Steelhead 125.

[Mayfly]

Hoyt Alphamax 32 60lbs, 29 inch draw. shooting Easton FML with Steelhead XL's.

[Big Stick]

I'll be shooting my old Martin Cougar this year, it's similar to this but mine's in a little bit better shape:

Last season I was able to use a dealer bow and loved it.  It was a Hoyt Katera, and I'm working on saving up for something similar.



I shoot Easton ST Axis Nano Realtree APG 340s with a Spittfire Maxx on the end of it.  I kept all the other accessories that were on the Hoyt.

[deadeye]

Good looking doe there bigstick. My son shoots a Hoyt Katera.  I won it at a MDHA banquet a couple years ago.

[Big Stick]

She weighed in at 128 pounds after she was field dressed.  I won a Yukon pop-up blind and a Mr. Heater Big Buddy heater with her.  Not to mention she's the tastiest deer I've had yet.

I tell you what, if you are going to shoot a deer that size, make sure you have someone to help you pull it out and have a hoist and gambrel at home too.  I had to do this one all on my own and after getting her out of the brush into the car and home, I didn't have much gas left to get her strung up.

Man, now I got another banquet I gotta check out!

[gveire]

I would love to get into hunting with a BOW I was looking at the Mathews X7 any thoughts??

[deadeye]

gveire, boy you want to open a can of worms, just ask a bunch of bow hunters which is the best bow and stand back.    

[gveire]

Bring it on Guys......
Fisher Price make a nice bow??

[HD]

I shoot PSE, and that's all I got to say about that..... 

[Cody Gruchow]

Bowtech...nuff said

[bonecollecter82]

Agreed Cody I didnt even know there was any other choice but Bowtech.

[Cody Gruchow]

agreed...best choice i made and have never looked back

[JECAMERON]

Diamond rock @ 70 LBS, beaman ICS hunter arrows with rage 2 blades. I've never been more confident with my setup, but my wallet is definitely playing a limiting role.

[whiteoakbuck]

i shoot a old PSE with easton arrows and muzzy 100 grain but it gets the job done

[Cody Gruchow]

muzzy MX3 OR MX4'S? I shoot the mx4s and i love them...100 grain

[chip189]

Elite Archery E-500, gold tip arrows and Wasp Jakhammer broadheads.
