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!!

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

I'll be shooting my hunting rig for target. As follows:

2007 Hoyt Vectrix, 30" 67 pounds
Carbon Express 3D select 400's (or my ACC's, haven't decided yet)
Vital Bow Gear StarTrack
Trophy Ridge Drop Zone
Fuse Axium 4" stabilizer
Shurz-a-peep
rope loop
TrueFire release

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

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

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

Shooting my hunting rig.......see sig

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

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

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.

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

PURE hunting rig (I've never done anything else!...lol)

'07 Bowtech Allegiance
Viper Predator Pro MT Sight

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

Its my hunting rig, check the sig

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

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.

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

This is my hunting setup...minus the broadheads!

2006 Reflex Highlander
Carbon Express Select Hunters / with 125 grain field tip
Throphy Ridge Flatliner 3pin

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

Hi all, this is my first bow, and I haven't even hunted with it yet. I plan to be ready to hunt next season, and I figure this league will be good practice!

'07 PSE Brute - 29" 70# (currently at about 64)
Trophy Ridge Matrix 5 pin

Beeman ICS Hunter carbon arrows

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

I'm shooting my hunting bow, wish I could afford a new one, but I like what I have. Its an '03 BowTech Extreme VFT @ 63 pounds with a 27" draw length, Drop Zone rest, Simms modular stabilizer. GT X 5575s with blazers, Scott Mongoose release.

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

I'm still debating between my spot/field rig, 3-D rig or my hunting rig. If I end up having to shoot outdoors I'll probably shoot my hunting rig, the 8x scope on my spot rig takes pretty good lighting and we just don't get that outdoors here in the winter...

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

Shoot the spot rig if you can so I am not so lonely........[8D].

What do you have?

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

Mine is also my hunting rig.

Mathews SQ2
about 67 pounds
28" draw
GKF Mirage Rest
Spott Hog Sights
NAP Stabilizer

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

I am shooting my indoor rig

Ross CR337
Pro Tuner rest
Sure Loc sight
Viper scope w/ 2x lens
28" Doinker stabilizer with 8" sidebars
Carbon Express X Jammers

Good shooting to everyone.

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

Good, now you can keep Matt company with your target rig. ;)

Matt, if you loan me a target sight I could have my bow up and running as well. :D

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

Not sure if I will be using the Trykon (see sig) or my '04 xTec.The xTecis basically my old hunting rig with the poundage turned down to about 58 lbs. I am going to replace the cams on the Trykon with 65% instead of the 80% and I don't know if it will be done in time.

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

You'll still be lonely Rick... I've got to blow about 7 years of dust off of it:

Golden Eagle Custom wheel bow w/ lead weighted riser 55#/30"
Easton X7 w/ 1" Duravanes
Toxonics Terminator sight w/ 8x Super Scope
(Can't remember the rest but it's one of the original fall aways, has to be manually cocked every shot.)
36" Easton stabilizer
Carter Big Kid 3D release

There isn't even a club here on the island, so it's been a while since it got a workout. Actually, the last FITA tournament I shot in Anchorage I thought was going to be a 3D shoot and I showed up with the wrong bow:

Hoyt Defiant (version 1) 76#/30"
A/C/C Hyperspeed 2-49
Toxonics Terminator w/ 3x Super Scope (also 2x and 4x lenses)
Golden Key Premier Rest
Hoyt Stabilizer
Carter Big Kid 3D release

Like I said; Old School.

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

Hey, thats still cool though. Those were some really mean machines back in the day!! Blow the dust off I say......[8D];)

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

I'm shotting my hunting rig, its a (dunno theyear but I think its 99', or 00') PSE Sydwinder.Bodoodle rest, Monster buck arrows.
However come 3rd weekend in January, its time to upgrade. Either Bowtech Guardian or Ally, w/ a dropway and Maxima hunters or Gold tips.. All I need it to sell this gun I won in a raffle and it will pay for the bow and all the accesories.

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

I'll be using my hunting rig.

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

Here is the target rig, almost complete.

The only thing left that I needare some good flying arrows and a new release.

It is still sad I can out shoot this bow with my Trykon right now.

Ohh well. It gives me a reason to practice.

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

Holy crap! That thing shouldn't even need you! [8D] If you can't shoot good at least you should look good shootin'!!!!:D:D:D

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

Dang Bols, that thing shines like a diamond in a goats arse.
sweet!!:)nice stool, do ya shoot sitting down???[8D]
Dan

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

Bols what are the specs on that. How do you like the Posten Stabilizer setup? Sure does look sweet.

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

I look good until I nock that first arrow and let her fly. . .

Then I see it hit. . .ooooooooh. Clean miss!

It is at that pointmy friend, I don't look so great, no matter what bow I am holdin'.

She is shiny, beautiful, and I'm surprised she hasn't cheated on a guy like me, with my Hoyt shop stool and all. [8D]

I bought that stool for picture purposes only. I don't have time to sit down when I suck this hard at 5-Spots.

Figured I would give my bow a rest from my dismal basement performances and snap a few centerfold shots of her.

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

You just need some big ol' fat shafts to go with that thing. About the diameter of a quarter ought to do it!:D

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

Shootin the huntin rig...see sig

The only change is I'm shooting Easton Cobalt X7 arrows

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

I was thinking about sending some conduit down at the target, how should I prep the shaft for fletching? ;)

Does anyone make a unibushing that will fit 1/2" conduit?

What about a 500 grain NIBB? [8D]

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

as of thursda or friday itll be a bowtech ally and some cheapo accessories for right now

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

DO YOU NEED THEM FOR RIDGID OR THIN WALL EMT?[8D]
Dan

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

All I need is for them to fly straight. . .anything on top of that (looks, wall thickness, etc)is just extra. ;)

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

Just but a target tip on the end of that long azz stabilizer and poke holes in the target..you don't even need arrows!

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

Well Bols, As long as I stay ahead of you with this archaic technology I guess I'll have to quit complaining. - You're pretty new Ferrari is getting beat by a dinosaur!

RE: What ya shootin'?!?
 

carefull walking around with that thing Kodiac, you will put someons eye out[8D][8D] still a sweet looking bow, i like it.
