what kind of bow you use??

[lawdog]

Ya I'm with HarveyLee, I don't have an extremely fancy set-up for archery by any means. Its a nice set up and good equipment, but its not a $1000 bow or anywhere near it. I do have lots of gadgets for fun though for all kinds of hunting. I doubt most of them help my real success rate all that much though...I'm really trying to ween myself from buying gadgets for that reason.

Deepportage, there are all kinds of things on the market to quiet down that bow if you are concerned about the noise you mention. Limbsavers, string silencers and stabilizers all make a huge difference. The limbsaver ultras, in my personal opinion, are a must have piece of equipment on any bow. They are amazing how much vibration they absorb...

Call me old school. I shoot a 15 year old Pearson Ultra. Did anyone else ever shoot a Pearson? It was a great bow back in the day. It's starting to get a little louder than normal, so maybe it's time for a good tune up.

Pearson Renegade, it's still my backup & rough fish bow. This is the third season I haven't used it. Shot 3 deer with it the last year I used it. Only killed one deer with it over 20 yards, shot a buck at 25. It wasn't much of a bow for distance, at least not for me.

[NELS-BELLS]

I agree with the comment that its not the bow but the shooter.

My wifes uncle is one of the best bow hunters I know. He has killed so many deer and a couple elk with the same old bow. I think it is a Fred Bear with the little cam wheels. He has one brass pin and just a kisser button. I dont recall him ever saying that he missed a deer. He laughed when I showed him my new Parker, all decked out, a few years back.

He just said, "what do you need all that fancy krap for? Too much room for mechanical error in the heat of the moment."

He has a point.

I've got a Hoyt Supreme, got to be a good 10 years old or so but for the amount of bow hunting I do, I think it is good enough.

Mathews SQ2 and yes Chevy is way better then ford

[Boomer]

Just bought a Ross this year and I drive a Chevy. Love 'em both.

Now I just have to find a deer to cooperate!

[Bowman1]

I agree it does not matter what bow you use, but I just replaced my old bow with a new Bowtech and find I want to shoot the bow every chance I get.

I drive a chevy

[mnfishman]

2003 Bowtech Tech 29. Short and sweet!!!

[Crappie Rage]

I coughed up the dough for the Switchback XT and love it. It seems I get a new bow every 5 years or so. I took the Matthews challenge and if I hadn't, I would still be shooting my Parker Ultra light. Oh, and a Chevy too.

[matthothand]

My BowTech rides 'shotgun' in my Chevy pickup. ...There are other types of bows other than BowTech???

[onthefly]

I'm with matthothand - there are companies besides Bowtech that make bows? And, on the same note, there are companies besides Chevy that make trucks?

[cliffy]

Switchback XT and Ford S-crew for me. I enjoy both...but willing to try/buy others down the line.

[smg04]

im using an older mid 90's york bow that my dad won at some banquit, its gray coumpound set at 58lbs shooting easton alum gamegetter2's, older bow but it shoots good, shot a small 6pt with it 3 weeks ago but lost the blood trail and never found it

[doser]

Mathews Featherlite. It's about 8 yrs. old ,but have killed most of my deer with it.

[harvey lee]

Doser

Thats why I dont hunt MInnesota anymore as you have shot ALL the deer in our area.

[doser]

Yeah right Tom,

Have you seen that bick buck running around behind your house lately? He wanders through my neighborhood too. Have yet to see just heard about him.

[harvey lee]

Not yet but I have not watched.Probably hanging in the corn or small woods.

[DRH1175]

Mathews is there any others?

[HavocTec]

I shoot a 2003 Hoyt Havoc, and we own two Chevy's a 99 and an 06.

[birdswacker]

I shoot 2006 Fred Bear Instinct I like the shortness ecspecially coming from an old PSE.

[BiffleFan]

Myself I shoot a Hoyt V-tec and have had P.S.E. Hoyt and P.S.E and I think an old Jennings before those. What amazes me is what they cost new and how they are worth next to nuthin when you want to trade up!
