The bow is fast 1st pin is out to 30 yards. Thinking about lowering draw weight because I hunt brush blinds. Also gonna change broad heads. Shot 2 animals last weekend both lung shot minimal blood.

Mathews z7extreme 28.5/65
HHA Single Pin
CE Maxima Hunters
Rage 2 blade or Muzzy's

I've had this setup for 6 or 7 years and have really enjoyed it. I don't even catch myself looking for new bows. I've killed a lot of critters with it. I do probably need to replace the strings though.

Rocket Steelheads 100gr
Ripcord drop away
G5 5 pin sight
Spot hog wiseguy release

I was getting speeds of 312fps with the 100gr grim Reapers and Gold tip velocities last year. Did not run it through the crono this season on the new setup. I love the bow, but I did shoot a realm not too long ago and

Kills with it since October 2014
- 16 Deer (4 bucks, 12 does)
- 5 Hogs
- 3 Coyotes (all in one day)
- 2 Grouse
- 1 Mallard

Subtle "I'm a badass" brag there...lol! Grouse and mallard is pretty badass with a bow.

Diamond Triumph
60 lb draw
28" Draw length
GoldTip Hunter 400 arrows
100 gr QAD Broadheads
TruGlo 3 Pin Sight

The bow was given to me by a family member who no longer used it, so I didn't really choose to shoot a 10+ year old bow, but it's pretty damn accurate. After only shooting 3 months, I shot a robin hood at 30 yards the day before the season opened last year. I've busted the veins off another half dozen arrows since then.

Matthews Switchback 29/70. (oldie, but a goodie)
Muzzy 100 gr (bad to the bone)
Trophy Ridge 3 pin vertical sight.
Trophy Ridge drop away rest
Easton Full Metal Jacket Arrows



I keep saying I'm going to buy a newer Matthew's, but this thing ain't broke and is a deer killing machine. Plus I don't care for a 2 cam ( cam and 1/2) design.

Elite Impulse 34"
29.5/70 - set right at 70lbs
Bloodsport Evidence
Slick Trick Magnums
Spott Hogg Fast Eddie Single Pin
QAD UltraRest
319 FPS

This is the first Elite I've ever owned. It's not my favorite bow ever. Took forever to get it tuned but now that it is, it shoots well. I was a Mathews guy for 15 years before buying this Elite in 2016. I'll most likely go back to a Mathews in the future

Bow tech carbon icon, around 66#

Gold tip 400’s (some primos edition which are heavier with a wrap)

Slick trick standard 125 grains

HHA optimizer

QAD drop away

I like it but it’s been my only bow since I was much younger so I don’t have much to compare it with.
