Releases...
Peeps...
Broadheads...


Kind of curious what some of you fellas are using, as I am fairly new again to wheels and there is soooooo many different products out there, I dont know where to start. Thought maybe hearing some brands/models, so i can do google searches is a good place to start.

Got to Fire a 70lb Bowtech Experience again today, and it sealed the deal on my choices. Waiting for the 2014 models to hit the stores!!!!!!!!!


(on further note.. why does WSS have so many old models from 4 years ago at regular prices? Crazy. they have a bow I would have bought for the Missus but im not paying full price for a year or two old bow :P )

The last 2 bows I bought at WSS I bought on sale or was able to get a break on a discontinued bow from the manager....the Experience is still current.

Stabilizers...NAP Apache 8"
Rests...Whisker biscuit. May be slower but less moving part to worry about during the cold of hunting season

Broadheads...G5 Montecs or Grim Reaper Crossbow 1 1/2". Both in 100 grain.

[FallAirFever]

On my 2010 Diamond Stud
Rest - QAD LD
Sight - Trophy Ridge Micro Hitman
Peep - G5 Meta peep
Stab - Carbon Express 6"
Release - Tru Fire Hurricane fold back
Arrows - Carbon Express Mayhem Hunters w/ zeon vanes
Quiver - Diamond 2 piece
String - Scorpion strings, just replaced factory string a few months ago

I like my rest, my peep and my sight. I started with a Cobra sight but like the micro adjustments and brightness of the Trophy Ridge much better. Started with a wisker biscuit, thinking of going back for how simple they are. The QAD has been great.

I would like to upgrade my release to something with a lighter trigger, maybe a Scott?
I would like to upgrade my stab to a Fuse carbon blade if for nothing else but they look cool, or maybe a Doinker hunter model.
I could take or leave my quiver, but dont see upgrading any time soon.
So far the Scorpion string I just put on seems good, I would like to try Worlds Best. If I was buying a new bow, a new string is not where I would be spending my money.

Good Luck, if you make it down to Calgary to try out bows let me know I will meet you at CAC for a visit!
