Mach 34, Black Eagle Spartans, D6 Evo’s. Simple but incredibly effective. I’m not a tinkerer/component switcher when it comes to archery, I’ll shoot this setup until I have a good reason not to

Well, seeing as you started the conversation with’Stick and String’ I guess I have to chime in. I use my homemade stick and string created from Indonesian Rosewood and Birdseye Bocote, Glass faced and backed Bocote limbs tapered .002/ inch with .002 unidirectional carbon sandwiched between the belly glass and Bocote. The string is a homemade endless loop 12 strand Rhino material and the arrow rest is a piece of toothbrush. Arrows are tapered spruce footed with ebony, 125 grain homemade broadheads cut from saw blades total arrow weight 535 grains +-5 grains.

Thats a beautiful bow! I'd love to make my own bow.
I've been hunting with a #55 Old Mountain Mesa longbow with Douglas fir shafts and Zwickey Eskimos. Total arrow weight is right about 600 grains.

Elite Synergy bow, Spot Hogg MRT 7 pin sight, Hamskea Trinity hunter rest, limb saver stabilizer.  Shooting Carbon Express Maxima red 350 arrows and 125gr Slick Trick magnums.

[blackveltbowhunter]

Mathews Lift X 33, with integrated SH boonie triple stack, hamskea Epsilon, and integrated 2 piece quiver and bars. Pretty familiar setup for me bow wise. Changing the arrow up a bit with the Easton 5.0 fletched with 3 Alpha vanes. Broadhead will likely remain the same as last season combination of Jekyll and Hyde 125s from Evolution.
