58 lb 2001 Mathews Conquest 2 44” a2a

That’s an old school setup. Very cool!!!

I’ve like all my bows and they’ve all killed elk. My favorite is my 2014 Carbon Spyder Turbo. It’s light and a very accurate bow in my hands. Just bought an RX8 and will use it this year hunting.

2012 Mathews Heli-M. Whisper quiet. Super light weight (3.5 lbs), ATA is only 30", nice to carry in the mountains. Buddies all shoot new bows accessorized out at over $2,500.00 and this is just as fast side by side with a chrono. It's a predator.

Mathews Switchback because if it ain’t broke don’t fix it! View attachment 734435

I still shoot a Switchback as well!

It's been around. Same bow back in the day with aluminum arrows and Cobra sight, and the old reliable rubber peep. It just keeps taking a pounding. Mountain goats, sheep, Never an issue with it, none.

2014 Hoyt Faktor with new GAS strings this year

Just about any bow will work the same if you put the time in t practice. I'm running a 33" ata mathews v3x, I like the longer bows because they are easier to hold on target, especially on uneven slopes

Still shooting my 2020 Hoyt Axius Ultra, only good thing that came out of that year.
Paired with 5mm Axis arrows and 125 Exodus heads.

I really think the older Hoyts look cool. Saw a Spyder 34 for sale the other day that looked awsome. Plus they were a little lighter

Matthew’s VXR 31.5. Reliable, accurate, holds a tune, and quiet

Great Plains Wolf Creek recurve
Black Widow SAG (short autumn grey)
Caribow longbow

sometimes the OL Adcock longbow but that shoots so flat I tend to use it in the summer and then switch to the above for hunting. I've shot all the above bows for a very long time so am more comfortable with them.
