Who shoots what?

[zkid09]

I'm shootin a Hoyt rampage xt, nap apache rest, hha OL5510, dead end archery 10" stabilizer. With weights it's right at 12". Cat whiskers, red d loop, black dark green and red wrist sling, Easton flatline surgical 400s with 125 gr slick tricks. 62#, 26.5" draw, 73% letoff..
Before sight change, stab weight and whiskers

The xts are nice bows man. If you don't mind me asking, why the 125 gr tricks up front? With such a light setup and short dl you would probably pick up 10-15 fps by dropping down to the 85 gr and more than likely shoot better groups.

man keep your strings waxed and replace them every 2-3 years and it will last as long as you want it to. I never shoot the same bow for long but that's just because I'm to curious about other bows lol. I trade bows on archerytalk like there's no tomorrow.

Didn't mean it wasn't anymore lol, just meant when it was new it was top of the line! Like I said my dad still shoots his as his primary bow.

The LX was my first serious hunting bow, bought when they came out in 2003 I was 17. Killed a few deer with that ol bad boy then got the urge to try something else Lol.

Currently I'm shooting:

Hoyt vector turbo @ 62lbs 29" draw
easton acc pro hunter 390's
spott hogg hunter hogg it
stokerized 7" camo hunter stab
broadhead, well it varies day to day.

For deer last year I shot rage titaniums, shuttle t locks and rocket sidewinders. For turkeys I usually like rocket hammerheads but I have found myself with a lot of rage 2 blades so they will get the nod this season. For deer next year I traded for a pack f exodus heads and I can't wait to try them out

Easton FMJ with Rage for deer
Gold Tip with Gobbler Guillotines for turkeys.

Sorry bud, been out of town. I'm a 26.5" draw and shooting 61-62# so I need a fairly weak arrow. The 500s were too weak 400s too stiff. Seems like I needed a .418 spine to be perfect or something. Forget actual numbers but a 400 spine with the 125gr tip weakened it up enough to be almost perfect with a 27" arrow.
For some reason this bow was super finicky about spine to shoot a broadhead well. It'll group muzzy, slick tricks, strikers and a few others at 60 yards now though !
