What kind of bow do you hunt with

[laker]

I use a Mathews Outback Trophy taker sight and rest, Easton acc arrows, and G5 Teken broadheads. Mathews bows can not be beaten..

 

[RAF]

I use a Champion Stinger at 55#. Shooting CX300 Carbon express arrows with 125 grain Spitfire mechanical broadheads.

Mine is an ole 1994 PSE Fire Flite 70 LB. 41" axle to axle compound. It has the time proven Vector III machined eccentrics, HTE brackets and is 60% let-off. Has the ole Center Flight riser. I have a TM Hunter Rest.

I see PSE has the Fire Flite again in 2005. Man, has it ever changed plus now rated to approx. 294 FPS and available with 80% let-off. Now axle to axle is only 33 3/8". Think I'll just keep my ole Fire Flite. 220 FPS is plenty.

125 grain Thunderhead carried by XX75 2315's is whut i launch.

Didnt hunt last 2 years due to Fall Turkey & early ML Season overlap into archery. I may try to work in this year!

Yep, I think the evolution of a hunter is gradual thing. I took me years to reach the level of gear I use now, and I'm still climbing. I love quality stuff though, and I test a lot of gear to arrive at what makes into the tree stand with me. Sure is fun though!

I have seen and read about a lot of quality archery stuff on the market. It seems that a person has a number of choices to get themselves set up to hunt.

High Country Brute Force
I purchased this bow a few years ago, but have not hunted with it yet. Have had a bad habbit of breaking bones when I should be shooting. I did finaly practice a little with it last year, and shot a doe one day the middle of early archery season while at the range. It was only my 2nd time to even go to the range with the bow.

 

[Super 91]

Okay, I just went totally nuts a couple of days ago. I was looking to have a second bow as backup for the upcoming Co. hunt, and was looking to get a high quality ultra-light setup. I opted for the High Country Archery TSS. I wanted to try their new sidewinder, but they wouldn't be able to get one made up for me in time for the hunt. So they are custom building a TSS-R to my specific draw length. It's a split limb bow (my first) and has a military grade carbon riser. Mass weight of 2.4 pounds, bare bow. I am going ultra light on all my accessories, and I have figured out that I am going to have a complete finished bow at 3.9 pounds, arrows and all! Now that's light! As a matter of fact, it's a good bit lighter than my Outback with zero accessories on it! My hope is that it will shoot decent. I asked them about string silencers and vibration dampening devices. They said I could put something on the string, but not to do anything to the bow. They said the carbon riser absorbs more energy than a aluminum riser and that it was not neccesary. They told me that they has TSS bow that they had DRY FIRED 12000 times and had yet to harm the riser or the limbs. They said they had to replace the string every 600 shots as the string would blow up, but other than that, the bow was fine!! Impressive! I guess we will see if this ewbow will pass the "Bowers" test. Although I won't be dry firing the bow, I sure will be shooting the fool out of it! Only 6 weeks till season! And I still have to get the RV ready!! Co HERE WE COME!!!!!!

Loggy even though I havent bowhunted any the last few years my bow is still set up and waiting for me If I can draw it back.

Its a jennings uniforce LH 91 lbs at 32". Star hunter rest with cushion plunger. Fine line crosshair sight with only one crosshair set at 20 yards.

Tru peep drilled out with a peep aligner sewed in the string.

I have it set up with 31 inch 2317s with carbon inserts, left wing full helical fletching and 100 grain thunderheads.

I shoot fingers one over and two under. I anchor my finger in corner of mouth and place string on my nose and look through peep.

It worked pretty well for the whitetail bucks that are typical of this area.

I believe in the kiss technique(keep it simple stupid) as far as bowhunting goes because I have a tendancy to screw the pooch when I get excited. And whitetail bucks working in close on me really excites me.
