Not bad everyone. I’ll have to snap a picture of mine and details.

Mathews Triax in Subalpine

Had a new RX3 ultra for 4 days before I gave it away to someone. Not a big HOYT guy, but they are nice like most bows these days.

Nice rigs guys!
Just got my back up bow set as my primary.
2017 Hoyt Carbon defiant
Buckskin with black 70lbs limbs
MBG 3 pin verdict
Tightspot 7 quiver (I like to loose arrows so I carry extra)  :chuckle:
Easton FMJ 340 50 grain inserts total weight with 100 grain tips = 503 grains
Not 100% on what broadhead yet.
I wanted to see what the NC Rage was all about, but there still not out. I'll be sticking with my SlickTricks so far.

Looks like my athens ridge 34 will be the bow for this year. Super smooth draw and holds on target very well. Been getting decent speeds out of it (294-299fps @500grns)

what is your draw length?  What you call "decent"  I call screaming speeds.

2012 Hoyt CRX 32
Easton Axis 340
100g Schwaker mechanical
Trophy Ridge 5 point
Vaportrail Limbdriver arrow rest.
Fuse 3 arrow quiver

I dont like stabilizers, in my opinion the extra weight of the stabilizer makes it harder to hold steady then any benefit of weight balance like they claim .

I love my bow, been with me for so much. Cant get myself to move on from her. Still shoots perfectly and way more accurate then I can hold it.

Do you regularly switch back and forth from 28” draw to 31” draw? If so why?

New (came from the Martin auction) 2015 Martin lithium Ltd. 55-70. Got a orange QAD I just mounted, wanna give a MBG ascent a try. Haven’t decided on a stabilizer, but all the bowjax I plan on getting will be orange, and an orange RAD peep. AAAAND orange d loop and QAD pull cord. I’ll be using the tight spot quiver with an additional mount so I can swap back and forth if I want to use my old (2011 Martin Onza 3) bow

That range looks familiar.... when you have arms like McGuilla Gorilla  those ft per second jump up a bunch!

2018 Mathews Triax, shooting 350 grain carbon express meyhem’s and 100 grain Hellrazor. I went with the Triax because it shoots 100 times smoother then my old 2008 Martin Cheetah, although that was a very good bow for a decade.

I've been following the same strategy for years with mixed results. In fact, I'm heading to the bow shop right now to study this phenomenon further.
