Mathews Vertix in Subalpine
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.

Post by: Milkman on April 21, 2019, 03:10:36 PM: 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.

Post by: demontang on April 23, 2019, 02:03:03 PM: 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.
Title: Re: Let’s see your 2019 hunting bow....
Post by: demontang on April 24, 2019, 10:12:00 AM: Pulling 31" on this rig. I was suprised it was moving pretty good at 28" too.

Post by: Jimmy33 on April 24, 2019, 05:14:20 PM: No pic but I’m shooting a hoyt hyperforce 65lb, 28 inch draw shooting 530 grain Easton full metal jackets tipped with 125 grain RAD non vented three blade broadheads. I use a single pin black gold slider, drop away arrow rest, and a 5 arrow quiver.

Post by: elkchaser54 on April 28, 2019, 02:36:51 AM: 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?

Post by: 724wd on April 30, 2019, 09:12:09 PM: 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

Post by: Crunchy on April 30, 2019, 10:21:05 PM: Some sweet looking bows fellas. Surprised no long bows yet.

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

Post by: Martinhunter on June 12, 2019, 03:16:54 AM: 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.
