I'm shooting a Fred Bear Truth series at 70lbs. 29 inch draw. Easton game getters with 100gr shuttle T's. Inexpensive bow, but super quiet and I love the way it shoots. We get along well ..

Same as everything else: old crappy bow, cheap arrows, cheap broadheads, quality glass.

Close eyes + slam trigger!

#70 Bowtech Carbon Icon with Goldtip 340s 100 grain tips, no broadheads picked yet but still looking. Thinking about upgrading my sight to something more precise maybe a Spot Hogg or BG Ascent Verdict.

Madrona tree branch with 60lb spiderwire fish line and vine maple sapling arrows with utility razor blade head.  Deadly at 5 yards!  Just kidding...   MathewsZ-7 xtreme 70lb @ 28.5 draw.  ICS Hunters and 125/100 grain Muzzy/Thunders or Shuttles. 435g420g +-.  Chrono around 280-290fps depending on broadhead weights.  Very happy with this setup.
MAGA!  Again..
