Default What ya shootin'?!?

I'm sure we all have posted somewhere on HNI before aboutour set-up for hunting and such, but how many people are shooting multiple bows and have one set up for target and one set-up strictly for hunting? Or are the majority of guys just going to be putting the field tips on the arrows and flinging those things at the 5-spots?

I myself just picked up a target bow but may not have it ready in time to really help out for the 5-spot league.

That means I will be shooting my '06Trykon, set somewhere around 60#'s, 29" draw. Cobra Sure-Loc Sidewinder Sight, G5 Meta Peep, Carbon Express Maxima 250's with 100 grain tips, and an S-Coil for the time being.

My target bow,a HoytProElite,is an '06 Inferno color, with 29"Spiral cams, I haven't decided poundage yet and the only accessory I have on itright now isa NAP Quicktune 3000 rest. Everything else needs to be ordered.

In the end I truly believe it is the shooter who makes most of the difference when shooting target archery, the bow is just secondary to good and consistent form and proper mental preparation.

Anyone else have pictures or details of their bows they will be using for the spots league?

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

I'll also be shooting my current hunting setup to start the season off. I'm planning on a new bow purchase sometime after the ATA show so it will change, but for now this is how it looks:

05 Bowtech Allegiance
Copper John Dead Nuts Hunter
NAP SmartRest
6" Stealth Stabilizer
STS
A/C Superslims w/125 grain tips
Scott Sabertooth release

Am I the only one shooting a target specific rig?

Until the first of my Scepter 4's get hereI am shooting an Apex 7 setup at 56lbs - 30 3/4" with the following stuff on it:

Copper John Ants Evo2
CR Apex Small Scope
Mag Sight 6x lense w/ black ring
Gibblet string/cable
Super Peep with Yellow power clarifier lense
Trophy Taker Spring Steel 1 hole rest
Shrewd Carbon Devibe 26" front rod
Cartel Deluxe adjustable v-bar bracket
Shrewd Carbon Devibe 7" side rod
Gold Tip 30X pro's with blazers and 150 grain points cut 1/2" past the rest
Tru Ball ST-3 and BT Gold releases

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/ringostar40/Shrewd001.jpg

I am sure the stabilizer setup will probably have to change on the new Scepter 4's to get my mass weight and balance where I want it. Most everything else should stay the same though.

I am hoping to get my target rig up and running for the contestRJ.

Basically, if I canget my stuff bought and sighted in before the contest is over, I will use it for a few scores.

Otherwise, I am stuck with the Trykon, which isn't a bad stuck, just not a great stuck for indoor spots.
