I am changing things up this year after reading some information.  After I figure out and mess with a bunch of arrows, weights, and lengths I am hoping to get heavy front end with a 27% FOC.

Mathews Z7 Extreme, 68#, Easton FMJ 340's, 100 grain Thunderheads, 475 grains total weight.  Hard hitting and super durable.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

70# Bowtech Allegiance. I shoot 125 grain slick tricks and I really like them, I get 1/3 deeper penetration in my broad head target than I did with the Montec G5's.

I'm shooting a Mathews Drenalin '08 at about 64-5 lb 27" draw length.
Arrows, Easton bloodline 400, 7.7 gpi, about 368 gr total weight with a Muzzy Mx-3
My bow shoots at a blisteringly fast 265fps with my current setup and I am comfortable shooting out to 70 yards.

I've toyed with the idea of upgrading bows but I have been shooting this exact setup since 2009 and it gets the job done.

Wow, you guys have some fancy bows. I have a Hoyt Turbohawk 64#. It's a fairly cheap bow but it kills the animals I shoot with it. Arrows are Nightfall 340s (I think 440 grains total weight), and G5 125 grain broadheads. 10" Stinger stabilizer, drop away rest (trophy taker I think), Tight Spot quiver and just added the Poison Arrow Elk decoy.

I like this thread!

I don't know what my setup will be this year... Either a Bowtech Prodigy or Martin Savannah.

Ya it is really fun to shoot.  It has been a challenge finding a correctly spined arrow.  I feel comfortable shooting it though.  I figured I would shoot 80 tell I get to old to pull it back anymore.
