What bow are you hunting with this year?

Darton 3800, my only complaint is the length. Before I started tinkering with it I was gettting 322 fps from a 412 grain arrow with a 28 inch draw. That was at 70 pounds, I now shoot 60. Darton is severely under-represented IMO.
 
I use a Martin archery Rytera Alienz. I have two of them and they shoot great. It is 35 inches axle to axle and has a 61/2 inch brace height.
 
Bowtech Carbon Knight. It's been a pretty good shooter after some shimming and tuning. A dream to carry for those longer hikes.

Wouldn't be my first choice for longer distance shots, but perfect for the thick woods of Wisconsin.
 
Shooting my Bowtech BTX 28 again this year, with a obsession defcon m6 on backup duty again for 3rd season.

That's really fast!! I shoot a little heavier arrow and 1 inch shorter draw and am prolly lucky if I'm in the 290's low 3's.

Bowtech Reign 6, HHA single pin moveable, QAD ultra rest, 10" bee stinger stabilizer, and a removable quiver. I'll be shooting fmjs with a Rage Trypan broadhead, and nockturnal lighted nocks. I'm pulling 27.5 inches draw and shooting 72 lbs.
 
62” 50#@28” Centaur Glass for the thicker areas where shots will be close and if I hunt open woods where shots may stretch a little my 2012 Bowtech Insanity CPXL with 10” Beestinger out front with a 6” Beestinger out the back, Apex Covert Dovetail sight,Limbdriver ProV rest. Most accurate easiest tuning compound I’ve ever owned.
 
I moved away from my PSE Nova last year when I got a fine deal on a used Bowtech Carbon Icon. I love the weight of the bow. Bow, quiver, arrows and release are exactly 5#. Killed three deer last year with it. I'm looking forward to more of the same this fall.

I am hunting with my couple year old PSE Premonition. I like it because it's only 30 inches axle to axle, not too heavy, and I've always got along good with PSE bows. Since my bows are strictly for deer hunting, I keep them in a minimal equipment configuration. Since I won't shoot at a deer at a distance that much exceeds 35 yards I have never felt the need to run a stabilizer or a crazy sight or any expensive add ons. I like this bow and have been shooting it for a while but after getting my wife a diamond prism I've definitely got my eye on a diamond deploy sb. Super slim, carbon, light weight, smooth shooting bow. It probably wouldn't be my first choice for any shooting competitions but I think it would make an awesome hunting bow. What bow are you running and how do you prefer to set it up?

I’m shooting a PSE Vendetta VX. If you can find one get it. The VX was only made one year.
 
Mathews halon 32 with the ez-v. Up until this year I had a PSE whitetail madness love it and had brand new strings put on it and a whisker biscuit last season mid season but came across a deal I couldn’t pass up. Now I’m trying to sell it and I never thought I’d have a problem selling it but that’s what I get for thinking lol.
