What’s your hunting setup?
I’m just curious as to what setup other guys are running for their hunting needs.
I’ll start. Bow: Bowtech Carbon Icon Draw Weight: 67-70lb (need to remeasure), limbs are maxed Draw Length: 29” Shaft: Victory VAP TKO Gamer Spine: 300 Length: 28.5” Insert: Ethics Archery 110gr outsert Vanes: 3-fletch Blazer Wrap: None Nock: Victory Spot Nock Blue Broadhead: 100gr Rage 2 blade or Wasp Boss replaceable blade Total Arrow Weight: 521gr Velocity: Haven’t measured KE: same as above FOC: 14.1% |
Bowtech Realm X
29" draw at 67 lbs MBG 4 pin Ascent Verdict QAD HDX Crossover 821 stabilizer Tight Spot 5 arrow quiver B3 Hawk release GT XT Hunter 300 spine at 28.5 inches 125 gr QAD Exodus 3 blazer and nocturnal nock Total arrow weight is 460 grains I run a Destroyer 350 as a back up with pretty much the same specs but the sight is fixed 5 pin. |
I run 2 setups
APA M6 - 62# at 28"
Spot hog 7 deadlly pins (might change this out... too busy) QAD Ultrarest no stab at the moment GT Velocity xt 340s with 100 Gr brass inserts Muzzy 125 gr broadheads 476 gr Fuze quiver Trufire hardcore release Trad: 55 lb checkmate hunter (Shedua elm Hickory riser) 56" recurve drawing 55#@28" with a 12 strand FF string and beaver silencers. Arrows are ash 75# turkey fletched shafts with Grizzly 190Gr single bevels Arrows are riding in a selway slide on rawhide quiver - Might upgrade this to a Great northern. the arrows are heavy hitters and deaden the sound of the bow to a thud. I forget the weight of these but I think 605 rings a bell. My 65# herb Meland Pronhorn is tuned to shoot the same shafts but I have not hunted with it much. |

Draw Weight: 65ish, comfort setting Draw Length: 28.5 Shaft: Easton FMJ 5mm Spine: 340 Length: 28 Insert: what comes with the arrows Vanes: 3-Fusion Vanes Wrap: yep stabilizer - Bee Stinger 8" (remove side bar for hunting) Rest - QAD Ultra rest Quiver - Tight spot 5 arrow (3 broad heads, 2 grouse heads) Nock: x nock Broadhead: 100gr Slick Trick standard Total Arrow Weight: I should measure this, lol Velocity:good question KE: no idea FOC: hmmmm? Bought it late in the season. Looking forward to shooting more with it this winter and next year. Great bow. |

Damon Howett Hunter (Bought in 1968)
55 lb with 28" Draw length Wood shafts and Easton Aluminum shafts turkey fletched Tried a lot of different broadheads over the years but go back to my classic Bear Calf hair tabs Leather back quiver for roving, bear bow quivers, and Catquiver for long treks. Well over 50 deer and one moose and an elk, countless birds and bunnies. Yes, I have had a few compounds, but never really enjoyed shooting them. Lots of joy in the outdoors through the years although it's harder to climb into a tree stand these days. |

My hunting rig: Chekmate Crusader longbow AMO length 66". 57# @ 28 in. Two of three hexshafts (no longer available) with four inch turkey feathers and Zwickey No Mercy double bevel broadheads. Total weight: who knows? Somewhere between 500 and 600 grains. AAE Cavalier horsehide shooting tab with target chin rest removed. Shouldn't need more than one arrow so usually don't need a quiver. :) |
Shot PSE for a lot of years but since 2015 been shooting an Elite. Really happy with it as my last PSE had over aggressive cams and I had a bit of a shoulder injury and struggled my last year with the PSE especially in extreme cold weather pulling it.
