I couldn't be happier with my setup, although I would like to try a Bodoodle Pro-Lite rest next yr. instead of using my old TM Hunter.

As far as knowing someone who could change their setup yes!!! I know of a couple new archers in my area who need some help.

I'm not. I am stripping my Impulse down to bare bow, adding a whisker biscuit, and then going shopping for all the rest. No particular reason, but I know it could be better, right? No fun just putting it away for the summer.

Well for me I am somewhat happy. I do love my setup but I think I need another bow. One will Be setup for mechanicals and another will be setup for fixed heads. And the one setup for mechanicals will have vanes and the fixed heads will be have feathers. So this way when it is supposed to rain of snow and be damp I will shoot the bow with the vanes. SO I think I need another bow but I do love no wait LOVE my Darton Maverick it just plain rocks.

Well I just got a new bow and I am pumped and happy with the new bow, however right after the season after checking with some other fine folks here I will be changing arrow size to better match my bow, the arrows I am shooting now are more than accurate enough and will get the job done, but when my season ends saturday I will be getting the new arrows to let me start tweaking things for next year. So I guess the answer is I am happy with my entire setup except my old arrows.

1st,

Yes, totally content and confident in my current setup. I feel it is more than adequate for the game I pursue in the area that I pursue it.

Second,

Yes, a buddy of mine has a bow that he is not comfortable shooting. The draw length is too long, he punches the trigger and yet he refuses to change anything about his setup or his shooting style.

Completely satisfied. And it will be just as an effective and capable killing machine when my boys are my age as far as I'm concerned. It will always be a better hunter than I am.

Now a bow for target and 3D on the other hand is a completely different story. I'm always going to be looking for the pefect tool to win with. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Things I am satisfied with: Muzzy Zero Effect rest. I preformed without a flaw. The bow tuning was right, arrow flight was good. Only thing I am not satisfied with was my rangeing abiltity, even with a range finder I am still guessing when shooting a deer.Was that yardage 23 or 25 or 28. So I'm going to get a pedulum and set it up on my hunting bow, hopefully that will take any guess work out of the equation. After that it's going to be a lot more pratice from the elevated position before next season.

I'm o.k. w/ my bow. I am going to go with slightly heavier arrows and get the sighting-in done in the next couple of weeks.

Content here with my Hoyt MagnaTec, it is a 2000 with XT2000 limbs. It is a little heavy but that is what makes it so quiet. I shoot 5575 GoldTips and 100gr Thunderheads. I always get a pass through with my bow set at 56#.
