Oh I didn't even think about my guns, definitely the 12 gauge my dad gave me when I was 15.

I’d have to agree. I grew up shooting hand me down bows. My father was the president of a hunting club, meetings were at my house as a kid. Everyone would bring their new gear to show off and we did a lot of Shooting in the back. I got a few hand me downs. My draw length was all over, draw weight same, I learned how to shoot anything. First bow I remember was a PSE Mach 2. It was 3” too long and I just learned to adjust. The first truly new bow I ever owned is my current bow, a 2015 Xpedition XCentric 6 I bought as a leftover. This thing is one bad motor scooter, and I’ll never get rid of it. Years from now, something may replace it, but its pretty much a perfect bow.

I'll always have one of both i reckon. The kayak was my first.

Pretty much sums up my childhood and hunting career as well. I shot a 2004 switchback up until this March. (I still have it too haha)

That’s what growing up hunting is, I feel like. We had a beat up SMALL travel trailer that a few dads chipped in on that we kept behind a farmers corn crib. uncomfortable, too hot, too cold, too cramped, gear didn’t fit, stuff literally cobbled together, dads doing the best they could and guess what? We killed a lot of deer and had so much fun. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

I don’t bow hunt much anymore but I rock a Mathews FX I bought brand new in 1998 lmao, last trip to the midwest all my buddies were really breaking them on me, guess who’s the only one that scored! I had the last laugh LOL
My Stanley flask. Holds just the right amount of fluid, not too big and square so fits better. Took me forever to find something that suits my needs

I would have to say my bow as well. It is mu first nice one,i bought it used last year,a halon x. It has been at the shop for 8 days now and i want to cry I miss it so much.
The last time i have not shot for 8 days must have been January or something like that.

I love these kinds of topics. This ones a tough one for me. I have several things I really am attached to. Over all of them though I would have to say it’s my bow also. The reasons are:
- I chose the exact colors I wanted in a bow and the camo came out WAY cooler than I expected.
- It was a bow I took a chance on without ever shooting it and it turned out awesome. I chose it instead of being talked into it.
- The company is direct to consumer and is a bit of an underdog in the industry. Im always more attracted to the underdog companies.
- It is an American company (I know most around here are).
- I wanted a bow I set up myself from start to finish and I did and even though I’m a hardcore novice at it, it seems to work really well for me.
- the small things: easy to work on, pretty forgiving, most bolts are titanium, more things I’m not thinking about.
My runner ups would be:
- my Marlin model 1895 GBL in 45-70. Only reason this isn’t in the top is because I don’t do much gun hunting.
- My Ridge Runner platform. It’s the foundation of my saddle hunting and just an awesome platform.
- My Vortex binos- 12x50 and 8x32’s. Two different tools for two different jobs, can’t narrow just one down.
- my Mad Rock Safeguard. Just because it’s so cool.

I'm most attached to.... Wait for it...
My tether...
But honestly. Anything I start to get attached to I loose or it breaks. Maybe the 20g. H&R single shot the first gun my dad got me. But it dosent get used to much.

My bow! This was before I finalized and changed my setup, but the only pic I got.
I am gonna get some haters for this. But my fav is my cell cam. It keeps me in the woods 24-7 stocking deer and looking for new spots and always gives me a surprise every morning when I wake up.
