Great question. Until this year, I haven't touched a bow since 1998 (graduated college, got married, got a real job, left the real job for a better job). But, this year I decided to get back into the sport:

1. I purchased a Mathews Switchback XT and 100% new accessories. (old bow was a PSE Nova)
2. I switched from Easton Aluminum XX75 arrows to Gold Tip Pro Hunter 5575 Carbons.
3. I dropped the Tube Peep for a Tubeless Peep.
4. Got rid of Cat Whiskers and use an STS.
5. Switched from Rocky Mountain Broadheads to COC Wasp Sharp Shooters.
6. Became active in the best site for hunters on the internet: huntingnet.com.

It has been a great year so far. I won't be hunting in Maryland due to that lack of time for preparation of scouting land, etc. Instead I am flying back to Wisconsin for 9 days to hunt the ruton my family's property.
