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.

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.

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.
