Getting ready...

[reed1285]

Haven't posted in a little while (I still lurk) so I thought Id contribute to the forum. This year I decided to pick a bow back up for the first time in about 18-ish years. The last time I hunted with a bow I was 13, Im 31 now.

 

Earlier this year I picked up a Mathews z7 extreme, circa 2011 I believe. Its a great shooting bow. I recently picked up half dozen Victory Rip Elites to shoot as wheel. These arrows are lightning quick! We chrono'd them with my bow at 285fps with 100 grain field points., not to shabby for an "old" 60# bow! Cant wait for September to roll around. Here are a couple pics for your guys' enjoyment. This is the best group Ive shot so far with my set up.

Nice shooting! I'm excited as well and will be practicing a lot this weekend. I have an old Mathews Switchback and I love it!

Very nice!

That's a nice group! Getting much better than that might prove expensive.

Thanks all. I wish I could say I shoot groups like that all the time, but that is definitely not the case.

 

I have got to give a shout out to a man named Conan at Big Daddys Outdoors in Bridgeport, AL. He is the guy over the archery department there and the man goes way above and beyond to help educate and advise his customers. He spent roughly two hours with me one day setting up my bow for me, and happily answering any questions I had (which was a lot). If any of you are close enough, or ever in the area, drop in and meet him and check out his awesome archery department.

 

Also, if you have any pictures handy, lets see some of your guys' archery set ups!
