4 weeks to go until bow season! What you gonna take opening morning.

[Guest redbarron06]

We have 28 days until opening morning. I am really getting stoked about it. Got the gear out today and took a couple of dozen shots and I can feel everything coming back together.

I dont want to get into brand bashing just intrested in what some of the other folks are going to use to bring home the backstrap bonaza opening weekend.

I will be running my 07 Bowtech Guardian (set at 67 lbs) kitted out with G-5 Meta peep and Optix ME sight (3 fixed plus 1 floating pin). Trophy Ridge "Drop Zone" rest and 6 shooter quiver. STS for the string and a will be using a Truball Sabertooth release packing a ST3 as backup.

Arrows are Victory Archery V1 (400) arrows with custom blazer wraps and 2 inch Blazer vanes. I prefer neon yellow wrap and 2 solid neon yellow vanes with a neon yellow and black tiger stripe as the cock vane. Tipping them off will be an assortment of cutting impliments and a one or 2 impact points. I will most likley take 2 arrows tipped with Rage 2 blade heads and 1 tipped with Steal Force Sabertooth HP cut on contact. These 3 are for deer. The other half of the quiver will be for turkey and smaller critters. I will have one arrow tipped with either a G5 SGH heads. These do quite the job in coons, possums, groundhogs, rabbits, and other targets of opportunity. The last 2 arrows get NAP Spitfire "Gobbler Getters". We (unit L) can take one turkey either sex during the archery only season here in TN so I always go prepared.

So what you taking looking for

I did not know that. I will have to file that away in my good things to know file.

As far as the shoulder you know you could get a cross bow right?

have been looking into a crossbow as well. just havent put the money into one as i dont hunt that often. i do hope to change that though.

[Guest Jcochran88]

I will be taking out the ol' Hoyt. Set to 65lbs. Will also have a quiver full of arrows all tipped with muzzy 3 blade 125s. Anything that walks within 50 yards will be getting an easton 400 thrown at it!!!

Taking bow, shooting doe

Taking my crossbow.

'06 Hoyt MT Sport at 67 pounds. Beman ICS Hunter carbon arrows with Wasp Jak-Hammer SST expandables. I just put a new LimbSaver Prism sight on this year. It was a freebie from a sponsored Hunting buddy. It is a great sight. I have the 20 yard pin sighted and the 30 is close. I just have to finish up over the next month and get lots more practice in the process.

what crossbows do you guys use?

[ShaunM]

Horton

[Guest billwilly73]

I use a Barnett Quad 400. It will shoot a 22" bolt @ 345 feet per second. I like it pretty good.

[Handsome Rob]

Either one of these.....

OR, one of these.....

All are around 63# at my 30" draw

Arrows are 340 spine Beman MFX with various 250gn broadheads. Total arrow weight of 678gn.

[DaveS]

I'll be taking my Horton Crossbow with Redfield 4x32 scope, 20" Carbon Express arrows fletched with Blazers and topped off with Black Momba expandable broadheads. Got some pretty good bucks running the area, but a fat doe of spike will do me just fine for some meat.

[Guest Rem_700]

I'll be taking my Bowtech Kronik,Gonna take the first deer that comes into bow range!! Spots or no spots!!

Spots do make them easier to shoot! Just like picking a dot on the target in the back yard! And they are so tender when they are on the grill!!!

[Guest clutepc]

I'll be using my Kronik as well. 65lbs, Muzzy MX-3 broadheads.

This being my first year, I hope for a shot at a buck or doe but I have much to learn so we'll see...lol

I've seen plenty scouting and saw a few rubs but we'll see...

I'm staying out of the woods until the season starts I just hope they stay in that general area.

Be careful hunting coyotes with centerfire during archery season as it is illegal.

hmmmm, good to know...it's my land so i figured anything would be ok, thanks

[Guest redbarron06]

I think they worded it that way to keep folks from going out with a 300 win mag and only a small game license then shooting and deer and going and buying the license after the fact.

Mathews outback at 74lbs does of course you can't eat horns

74LBS?? Wow you expecting to shoot them in the next county?

[Guest walkingdeadman]

Bowtech Diamond had its' final tune tonight at the archery store. Finally I got settled in at 60 pounds. Pretty much grouping them at 35 - 45 yards easily. We will see if that changes when ole' bob the buck walks out on me...I might **** my pants.
