Nothing fancy here. Alpine F1 @ 67 lbs, 28 1/2" four fletch Beman ICS Hunters (have a handful of Cabelas arrows I fletched up also) tipped with 125 GR Shuttle Ts.  Seems to work fine.

I haven't decided whether to get my Drenalin back in shape, (feels so different after the cam change and new string), or use my my Martin Afflictor. Both are set up at 66#, 30 in draw, shooting 30 in Beman hunter 340's 100 gr Grim Reaper broadheads  436 gr with an foc around 9.
Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.  Gen. 27:3

Katera XL 28.5" draw, 70lb, 350 Trophy Ridge Blasts using their half outs, four fletched with a wrap, and 100 grain Shuttle T's. The total arrow weight is 426 grains.
Just picked up an Xpedition Perfexion this weekend though, so my arrow set up may be changing.
