After many miles in the Sitka Intercept pant they are my favorite pant if there is no snow. They are quieter than the Timberline and the knee pads Sitka came out with last year are much better than previous models.
I use the Option Archery Quivalizer. It might not be the most beneficial for 3D but for hunting it's the best option in my opinion. My setup full of arrows is 5.4 lbs which is important to me and with the attributes of the 34 it still shoots very well.
The antelope in ND seem to migrate between the three states while the MT and SD goats tend to stay put. A phenomena I've noticed but haven't paid super close attention to.
I would rather save energy throughout the entirety of the hunt and deal with focusing on the wind if I get a shot than using more energy just to have to still worry about the wind during a shot.
I don't get the jitters until after I shoot and with my Mach 34 I don't have any issues holding...
I had four of them, and my SO and my dad still shoot them. I am 30.5-31" DL so the ATA of the Mach 1 is not as comfortable as the Mach 34, that is my only complaint with the bow.
I went from premium broadheads (Iron Will and Valykrie) to Exodus and everything I've shot with the Exodus dies just as quickly as the IW. You don't need to but if you want to, sharpening the blades on an Exodus is simple and makes them even more appealing.
My girlfriend is 5'2" and is pulling 25.5" DL and 57 lbs out of a PSE Mach 1. The Mach 1 is great as a womans bow as it is very light, has a large amount of adjustment in both DL and DW and is a premium product. You can get them used for a decent price now a days. I use 600 spine black eagle...
If you are new to archery there are so many things to learn and to choose from. If you have had a bow in the past, I would concur with what was said above about using what you have liked in the past.
Some of my favorite brands and items are Montana Black Golds, Mountain Lite sight, Hamskea...
