2020 Blackout Epic. 68# 29” Draw. Very smooth draw cycle. Quiet release. Nice little bow. Adding drop away and a single pin adjustable sight this winter. The bow is made by Bear Archery for Cabelas

Ked, I like it, shoots great, stable in the hand and puts them where I'm pointing it. It is a touch heavy, but thats due to my stabilizer, hamskea, IQ site and most notably, my 625gr arrows (x4 in the quiver)...
My nephew just order the Nexus 2, I held one the other day, but didn't have time to shoot it. I wrapped my grip with hockey tape, but did like the feel of the nexus grip.

Bought a Mathews 2016 Halon 6 back in October. First year hunting, didn't have any type of luck. Gonna learn more going into this season, be more prepared, practice a lot more and go back out with it.

Just curious on what everyone is shooting for this year.
I am shooting a Mathews Heli-M. I bought it used and like it a lot so far. This is my first season shooting it.
I shot my good ol Bear Species LTD the past few years that was until a few weeks ago when my wife surprised me with a new Hoyt RX 5 ultra.... It’s a tad heavy on the rear of the draw cycle but has zero forearm shock even after shooting 20 or 30 straight shots at the range, and with its new, small stabilizer being lower, I got to finally put that long (10”) stabilizer on my old bow to rest!

I'll be rocking the PSE Drive 3b again for 2021.

Had a limb de-lamination issue going, which led to limb replacements on the bow. So it's basically brand new heading into this year.
60lb at 28.5. Just tuned and back from the shop.

Interestingly, I still cant get these plastic fixed blade broadheads to pattern worth a darn..

Currently a triax. Looking into the nexus 2. And just picked up a bear grizzly and will most likely stay with traditional once I practice enough.

I ordered one of these Feb 1 from the custom shop (gray riser, kuiu verde limbs) and got all the accessories already. It's going to take at least 4 more weeks to get. Feels like forever.
