What's your hunting set up this year?

[scooter]

So, I popped by Jim Bow's Archery last night and swapped my arrow rest back to my TKO fallaway from the GKF arrow trap...I couldn't get that arrow trap tuned to save my life so I just went back to what worked.

Paper tuned (bullets now) and messed around with the cronograph and such...so here's my hunting set up for this year...

100 grn Montec G5's

I'm extremely pleased with the way this bow is shooting with the broadheads on. Consistently hitting 3" X 3" square out to 60 yds so I'm good to go. Heading out this afternoon with Swamper for 6 days in the bush, can hardly wait for tommorrow morning's opener!!! Good luck to all, hopefully we'll have some pics and stories to share when we get back!!

Like Willy said, we are heading out for 6 days. Played dueling broadheads with Willy last weekend and at 50 yards he sliced one of my fletches right off.. Yes we were hitting the 3 X 3 inch postit note, but I doubt the critters have stopped by the stationary store for a supply to make things a little easier for a couple of blind guys.
Good luck to everyone in the next 3 months.
Hunt hard, Hunt clean.
