What bow are you hunting with this year?

Lots of good set ups on here. Seems like we have a lot of Matthews guys here. I've never owned a Matthews or even shot one. I'm interested to though. I've always had the outlook that for a hunting bow, that I'm not going to shoot over 35-40 yards, a bow like that isn't necessary. I've always owned mainly PSEs and a few Bears. I have always liked PSE but there has to be a reason why so many here shoot Matthews.
 
Got a new Hoyt RX3 a few weeks ago.

They are very quiet and as accurate as the shooter allows

Shot the same Parker for the last 11 years. Had to get a new string and a new rest. Walked out with a new rest alright.... AND a brand new BowTech Conversion! LOL I shoulda known better than to shoot a bow while waiting my turn at the bow shop. That thing was soooo much smoother and shot soooo nice! At least I already had a fairly new (2015ish) IQ bowsight. “But Honey I NEEDED a new bow!” Yeah just like you NEEDED a Mantis! LOL 31inch axle to axle, 70lb. New QAD drop away rest. Above mentioned sight and a Kwikee Quiver (I know there’s probably better quivers out there but I’ve been using Kwikees for years) Anyway between this new Saddle venture and new bow I’m stoked for huntin Season!
 
I’ll be out with my new Toelke Super D. Dan did a superb job making the bow. This is my second year hunting with a long bow and first year in a saddle. Can’t wait, only a month to go.
 
Martin Blade X4. Been using it for 7 years now. I'd like to get 10 years out of it before I get a new one. Kinda like my golf clubs lol

I wanted to hunt with my 2017 Bear Moment this year but it got sent off to Bear Archery to investigate a weird limb deflection problem. Unfortunately it turns out there was damage to the limb pocket, since they don't make those limb pockets anymore they went ahead and sent me a brand new Bear Kuma 30! Still in the tuning process:

What were some of us symptoms of the deflection issue? Just curious because my 2016 escape has acted funny in the past. I really like shooting it, but tuning has been an issue in the past as well.
