I shoot a Browning Mirage 6T6 Coumpound with an Overdraw. Use Easton Superlite A/C/C arrows with Thunderhead 85's broadhead with a Scotts release.
Shot WhiteTails, Boars, and a Elk.
Love the bow, heavy as compared to bows of today.

I shoot a Mathews Drenalin. Gold tip hunter xt arrows with the 2 blade rage broadheads. This is my first compound and I am very pleased with its performance and durability. Curious about getting that Monster whats your guys opinion.

I have a 2006 Bowtech Tribute. It's the sweetest bow I have ever owned, but then I havent owned a lot of bows.
Edit: I have killed 2 deer with mine. I hope to add to that total this fall!

I've only had my current bow since about last mid-November. It is a Diamond Marquis. I've killed a few squirrels, a rabbit, and one deer with it.

Mathews Switchback XT that I bought in 2007. I've killed 6 deer in two seasons with it. 5 does and a buck. I've also killed 6 tree rats, a few rabbits, and a few birds. I've shot just about all the new bows that have came out since 2007 and I am yet to shoot one that makes me want to sell my XT...

2008 PSE Nova OC. its not a top of the line and it was only 260.00 but it shoots 280-285 fps (according to PSE) and it will put the arrows in the pumper. Its my first bow and I love it. Its light, shoots fast and is accurate. I took the crappy sight, and rest off of it that it came with and put better stuff on it. If you wanted a inexpensive bow that is RTS and will get the job done, I say get this one. Its no Mathews or Elite, but its been good to me so far.

Hey now! Ill have you know that thanks to my 100 yard practice I won 60 dollars at the shoot saturday. They had a rhinehart t-rex at 80 yards, I missed the 12 ring by about 1 inch! Long range pins are useless while hunting but profitable when playing around at the shoots! haha

I just started bowhunting last year with a 20 something year old Horton 150 xbow. It did the job on a nine pt last year. A Couple of weeks ago i bought a 2007 Diamond black ice a guybought new last year set it up and had a atv accident the week he picked it up. He claims that he only put a dozen arrows thru it. I got that with a toxic site 3, a rest about 18 self fletched arrows a soft case and a tru ball rest. The only thing i have killed with it is my back fence when I miss. Do carbon arrows go to heaven when you cant find them:confused:. I am thinking of early season sticking with the xbow unless i break the learning curve and get some confidence in my skill it seems though that it isa great bow. My "pro" is suggesting these 140$ crusher arrows anybody have any experience with them? Side note every shot I have t twist my d loop to line my sight up he says that that is ok comments? It doesnt seem right it is just one more thing to remember and im all about k.i.s.s. when it comes to that critical moment.

Athens- The Accomplice 32" ATA. I got my bow in last Friday and Mike Deck at Terminal Velocity set my bow up for me. It is smoking fast, at 70lbs, 29" draw and a 395 grain arrow I am getting 311 fps. If you have not shot an Anthens bow you need to give them a try.

Bought my first bow this past spring. I bought a used 2004 or 2005 Martin Jaguar Pro Series. So far all I have killed with it is the bank. I have changed everything on it thinking once I get thru the season I will upgrade and just switch everything over. Hope to fill 2 tags with it this year.

I think I got you beat Esox... I shoot a PSE Nova, circa 1995. Gold Tip expedition hunters tipped with Tekan II 100's. It's the only bow I've ever owned so far and it's been a good one. It's killed deer, woodchucks, squirrels, and one ferral cat.

Martin Cheetah. Cabela's arrows, Vortex broadheads, Truglo sight and quiver. It was a gift from an ex gf that has killed five deer. Including two Pope and Young bucks. Not bad for an inexpensive bow.
