I shoot the same bow, sight, release, and stabilizer for hunting and 3D. I change the rest, add cat whiskers, and a quiver attachment.

I use my hunting equipment mostly when im in a 3d shoot. It is very good practice for hunting if you go to a 3d range. I somtimes take everything that ill have in the woods with me while on the range. I always wwar my hunting cloths so i will know how it makes my bow act.

Shot my second 3D shoot yesterday. My wife shot her first 3D tournament with me. We both shoot what is our main bows that we are going to hunt with this year. I have 3 old bows for back-up, just in case.

There is no way I would have had my full hunting gear on yesterday. It was 90º. I was one of a few wearing jeans. One traditional shooter was trucking around in the cactus, in sandals!

I say use what your comfortable with and have fun.

One of the items I may pick up is a 3D belt. The one with the quiver, water bottle, and fanny pack. Walked my legs off the other day and was dying of thirst when I reached the truck.[>:] My first thought was...I' m getting too old for this sh*t, but found out there were older guys than me there and having more fun. Just need to tweek my accessories a little to make it more enjoyable.
