Default RE: First Post.....Best Bow Hunting set up

Chris,
I am not sure anyone can define what is the best but I can tell you what I use. I too have a commander and it works out great, as for the legnth just check all the limbs in the tree before you hunt and make sure you have plenty of room and trim as needed. The commander is the best feeling bow I have put in my hands in 14 years of bowhunting, it is quiet, plenty fast, produces plenty of KE without any hand shock. I took two hogs with it a couple weeks ago with some very large mechanical heads and got complete pass through's on both hogs and one of them wasa pretty big boar, you should be very pleased with this bow for sure....
As for equipment:
Sights- Trophyridge 5 pin with a light, I went to these when they first came out and I truly like the fact that it has vertical .019 pins, it really opens up the view through your sight window, I have these on both of my bows..

Rest: I am using the trophyridge drop zone, I bought this bow early this year off this site and this rest was on it. I have always been a bodoodle shooter but I have been really impressed with the dropzone, simple design, zero noise and it has yet to fail to work and I have also replaced the bodoodle on my other bow with the drop zone....

Release: I have shot a scott for about 14 years now!!!

I also have a mean-v string supressor...

Quiver: I bought the Alpine soft-loc and I am on the fence with this quiver as of right now. I have always used a quiver that only has one set of arrow finger, I will use this one through the rest of this year and decide if I am going to keep it or not. I have noticed that I am having a hard time getting arrows out quietly having two sets of arrow fingers, maybe I will get used to it, if not I willlook for another for next season...



Again, I am not saying that this equipment is the best out there by no means, this is what I shoot and I tried to give you a couple reasons why I like them but not everyone will like every piece of equipment out there the same..Ultimately, the decision comes down personal preference...Congrats on a heck of a bow and happy shooting....
