Bow Hunters

Just want to see what the favorite brand of equipment or preference.... compound or re curve do you use. I prefer my small but effective 1983 50# Browning re curve (aka the deer slayer).

Yes, I still use the old aluminum standard arrow with Bear 100 gr. broadheads. Oldies but goodies;)

[Arizona Griz]

I shoot a 1993 Darton Lightning compound with 60% let-off using 2413 X7's set at 76 pounds. It shoots these arrows (435 grains) around 302 ft./sec. [:p] It is an oldie but it sure shoots fast. ;)

I like PSE...they are made in Tucson...haven't shot in years:(

[WallyD]

I shoot a Matthews Switchback. But, not as much as I would like. A great setup.

[duneflyer]

PSE myself as well. Although I havent used it in a couple years.

I'm a die hard re curve fan. My boys and I have a huge reject cotton bale in the back yard that gets stuck quite a few times a week. I refuse to get sights and all the frilly compound stuff. I bought a Bear #50 compound back in 1985 and hated it, my wife got it tricked out for her though.;) I kill a deer every fall just to keep my man card current! My oldest boy Silas is a dead eye shot and frequently kills rabbits. Aim small, miss small.[:p]

I shoot a Martin Cougar 2000 @ 78#. My choice was limited, because I have a 34" draw. The only manufacturers that made one was Martin, and PSE Custom.

The Martin is very fast, at that draw length:D, quiet, and comfortable...Why change;)

I shoot Easton 2712 X-7 Eclipse arrows (telephone poles) with Muzzy 125gr 3 blade broadheads.

It's a great combination for a person that can scratch their ankles while standing up:D:D

That would be you:D


Hoyt X-Tec, Blackhawk Vapor carbons with 125 gr. Thunderheads. I don't remember the chronie numbers but like the way it shoots @65lbs. Fast and quiet:D

[jasonrock]

Kodiak, small, fast and easy to use. 303 feet per sec.:)

[azbjones]

Older Hoyt ProVantage 65# 28" with Maverick carbons and some cool mechanical broadheads that I don't remember the brand. Got it with all the goodies already attached, cost next to nothing at Play It Again - sales guy had no idea what to charge for it. Be nice to shoot an elk someday with it.[8D]

I hear ya on the draw length thing. They don't make shirt sleeves long enough!:( Inmates at the prison call me silver-back for a reason! Don't ya hate being a knuckle dragger?[}:)]

[cvraptor]

left handed martin cougar magnum, 32 in. draw not sure what yr. bought it used in 88, i shoot instinctive, don't like all the bolt on stuff [8D]

[odtodd1az]

Left hand Martin Cougar Elite for me. Used to shoot 2413 xx75s with two blade and bleeder Zwickys.
Those had punch at 34" long. Now I shoot Carbons with a release aid. They are faster,but lack the heavy hit of a 680 grain arrow.
CVRAPTOR: nice to see another south paw Archer.

[cvraptor]

yea, being a lefty has its drawbacks, many bows don't come in left handed, but then again leftys are the only ones in their right minds [8D]

The only time I kinda like it, is in a fight:D Those little stubby armed guys dont stand a chance[:p]

You'r right about the shirts though!;)

[Wildroot]

Matthews Black Max. It was responsible for a nice 5 x 5 for Sept 2007.

"05" BT Old Glory

[Cletus]

PSE Mach Flite IV, 80#, 30 inch with overdraw...about '82 or so. I think it is now time to modernize my equipment.
