Whats everyone shooting set up wise?

I'm running a Mathews Traverse with 80lb Wake limbs.
Axcel Accutouch carbon pro with UV3XL scope
Hamskea Trinity
Conquest Bars
28.5" draw.. 82lbs on the scale.
580 grain Axis tipped with most likely QAD Exodus. (I like to try different heads but Exodus has always been my go-to, always have some in my quiver)

I have a couple different bows I hunt with.
2005 Mathews Outback 29/70
2007 PSE HF6 28/70
2012 PSE Dream Season Evo Franken bow 29/94
2014 PSE Full Throttle 28/62
I'll probably hunt with the throttle the most this year. Just waiting on the new string set to come in from Breathn and then I'll get it all setup and tuned.

The outback was the first Mathews bow I bought in the fall of 2003. I shot my first p&y and won my first state championship shooting 3-d with it. Traded it off in 2006 for a bow for my wife. Still have the same beautiful wife so was a good trade. She don’t shoot the bow I traded for but I still think I got the better end of the trade.

It was my first bow also. My brother gave it to me in 2007.

Man what is everyone considering big bucks? The ones you have posted I'd be more than happy with. Now I feel like I'd be letting everyone down taking one of those.

In this contest scoring two does is epic. I was on the winning team for the last 3 years. The key is for everyone to participate as much as possible. I only scored a single doe last year but it helped. My other teammates took up my slack. Lol

The team me and HD were on last year won. These are scores of bucks we put up. Only 2 bucks over 140” haha does and average bucks can win! Shoot whatever you would be happy with. This is mostly about having a good time with like minded hunters and learning!

We were on fire our first year though. Scored the highest group total in the history of the contest. Some years are just better than others.

50 points is 50 points

The Dirty Dozen
Or
Another Dirty Dozen

 

[Hidden Danger]

I'm good with a Deadly Dozen

 

[Hidden Danger]

My season runs from October 15 - February 15.
We do have a velvet season this year September 16 - 18 but I'll probably sit that one out.

Another name suggestion
The 12 pack

Seems like deadly dozen has won out..

I’ve been thinking of getting some Tactacam reveal cameras, are any of you guys using them? Thoughts and suggestions?

I have the Spy point cams I'm going to run this season.

I'm currently looking for some land to lease around here for the season. Somewhere between 30-100 acres.

 

[Hidden Danger]

I'm on a roll with new gear as well.

Sold my Accutouch Carbon/UV3XL setup and have a Rheostat 5 pin on the way. Decided to go back to fixed pins.

Also got new front and back bars on the way. A 12/8 Microhex set up.

And I ordered a new set of tires for my truck today.. and lemme tell you.. that hurt.

I feel you. I just recently paid $1866 for

tires on my Tahoe. 33x12.50x20

What’s everyone else shooting this season?
Shooting 70#, 5mm FMJ 340 with 125 Exodus.

I have multiple arrow setups for multiple bows.
Element Archery Fire and Ice .250 490 gr at 344 fps
Element Archery Fire and Ice .300 420 gr at 335 fps
Gold tip velocities , Gold Tip Valkyries , Gold Tip XT hunters , PSE Radial Xweaves .
I'm set on arrows plus I have over 50 broad heads in new condition.

It wouldn't activate when I drew. Got to fiddling with it and noticed that the spindle was sliding out of the rest housing and it was loose. Also probably why my groups weren't tight....couldn't figure that out....I ordered a whisker biscuit so I can throw it on for backup if I don't get this TT put back together.

Should've said something. I have a whisker biscuit on my throttle that I'm going to swap out for a PSE edition QAD HDX. I would have given it to you. It's practically brand new.

 

[Hidden Danger]

Thanks for the kind gesture. Camofire is selling the new version Whisker Biscuit for $19 today so I figured I couldn't go wrong to have one around.
And yeah, what poundage are you shooting? That's some serious speed you're putting out!

My main bow is a PSE Dream Season Evo Franken bow built by Breathn.
PSE Evo riser , Supra limbs and HF cams.
94# , 29" , 6" bh , 33 1/4 ata and 364 ibo.

 

[Hidden Danger]

One of my backups is a 2007 PSE HF6

 

[Hidden Danger]

My Full Throttle will probably be my go to bow this year once I get it setup. 58lbs , 28" draw shooting a 410 gr arrow at 315 fps is ideal for sitting in a ground blind. Especially once it gets cold.

 

[Hidden Danger]

That explains it! I don't know if I could draw that bow or not. 70# is easy for me but 94# is another whole animal...lol.

True. It's definitely not a bow you'd want to shoot a Vegas round with. It serves a purpose though.
