Pics of your Bow for 2010-2011 season
 

What bow will you be using for your 2010-2011 hunting seasons?

This year im probably one of the few going with a Martin. I will be using a 2010 pro series martin firehawk. Hoping to get my first deer with it :happy0001:

Lets see some pics!

In 2010, I'll be a little boring and keep using my 2008 Bowtech General (primary) and my 2003 Bowtech Extreme VFT (backup). Have not found a real need to change!

lol im glad to see there are other martin hunters out there

2010 destroyer 340. kind of a then and now thing with the new wrist sling and quick disconnect for the stab

sweet bow dude

Still am not sure what accessories etc are going to be on this rig other than a limb driver rest for sure, and likely a sword apex 3rd plane sight. Mine is gonna be a black one as well. I should be setting it up this week, but first I've gotta get new cams for it b/c the ones on it are too short.

How are you liking the 340? My pops got one and i've probably shot it more than him. It is a really well shooting bow imo. The first time I shot it with a sight and everything on I shot 3 clean rounds of x's indoors on a 5 spot face at 20yds. I was extremely impressed with the shootability!

I traded my Drenalin in for a Z7, so that is my primary. Then when I go out of state I'll take the Monster as a back up. Shooting Carbon Express Aramid's tipped with G5 Montec's. I haven't had a track job over 100 yards in 3 years on 5 bucks and 8 doe's, so I hope that continue's

In my opinion, this is the best looking bow. If I were looking to get a new one, this would be the first one I try out. This weekend, I have a 3D shoot to attend, but if i find the time, I am going to check one out.. even if it is only to hold and check out. Let me know if your happy with it after the season and you have had time to field test it.

I'm sure I will be;)

I used to be a shop shooter for a Hoyt dealer until they shut down, and actually had one with all of my stuff on it for about a week and I really liked it.

The best part about it imo is the weight distribution. It balances perfectly, and is light in the center so you can add weight accordingly to really fine tune the balance of the bow.

The one I am buying is actually coming from the guy who used to own the shop, and Im getting a really good deal so thats why I am picking it up.

hey man i shoot a martin, martin saber acually. and i love it

I love the carbon matrix just not the price tag. From what i hear the price is going to go down next year because Hoyt is going to put them in mass production. I dont care what kind of bows you like if you go to Hoyts website and watch the torture test on the carbon matrix it will sell you.

Here is my new baby!!!

Horton Vertical
ENCORE

The perfect combinations...
All elements necessary for speed, accuracy, and forgiveness, simultaneously engaged in the new OS-3 cam system.
ATA.....................33"
Brace Height......7.50"
Draw..............25"-33"
Weight.........50-60-70
IBO F.P.S.............310
Camo.......RealTree HD

im glad to hear it :rock:

HAHA true. Although I dont plan to run over my bow anytime soon, I can say that being an engineering student, I truly appreciate Hoyt's consistently good engineering. I seem to always go back to them regardless of what I'm shooting.

As far as the price tag goes, I certainly didnt pay that for it, and honestly didnt even pay 8 for it so you can probably understand why I am getting it:cool2:

What sold me when I tested it out earlier in the year was the balance and draw. I had an Alpha Max 35 at one point with the same cams that are on the Matrix, but for some reason the Matrix just seemed quite a bit smoother...

The balance and hold fully setup? Absolutely phoenominal. Best feeling bare bow in my hands that i've ever felt. Ive owned 23 bows now since 2006, so trust me, I get my hands on alot of them;) Im interested to see what kind of scores I can shoot with it... I really got on a role this year outdoors and was tearing it up at the last national I shot so we will see... If its not as good as my target Hoyts, ill just move on and get another. Everything is worth a try once though, especially if you can try it at a really good price:devil:

Good luck this year everyone, regardless of what you shoot... Bows are bows, and I guarantee that a 200 used bow will kill deer just as well as the 1600$ show pony:patriot:

I shoot a 2009 Alpine Frontier with goldtip Expedition Hunters.

Anyone of these except the very last one, that is for bow fishing.

This will Probably be my last with my lighter bow, the Micro Midas 3 (Browning, 45#) and hope fully next year I will move up to the PSE Durango (60#)

Heres my z7. The only things different on it is ive added a 12in b stinger and a black torquless grip.

man i love it. its a tackdriver. the shootability of it is amazing. shootin 302 at 28" 64#.

Very nice. Dads is shooting 270, but with a 472 gr arrow;)

this is the only picture i have... not the best, but i get to show off one of my deer from last year!

I'll be hunting with a few of these

BowTech Captain is going to most likely be my primary bow again this year....

Got a Martin Firecat TR2 on the way for this season... i'll post a pic when I get it in.

No pics yet, should have it here sometime soon though...I'll be shooting a Maitland Retribution this year though. If Y'all havn't heard of Maitland USA you should do yourself a favor and go check out their website.

Very cool on the ret!!!

I might get to try a zeus soon:)

Think i may add a black focus grip here shortly.

Nice rigs. Will try and get a pic of mine here in a bit.

I love the First Aid Kit sitting in front of your knife man! Guess thats just in case you have one too many Beers...lol.:guiness:

I using a MARTIN CHEETAH w/28.5 draw, and slick tricks. Two and half inch group at 40 yards. I think it will do the job?

I can't find any pics, but I'm shooting a Strother Infinity in Predator camo, QAD rest, HHA sight, and a Sims X-Coil Stab.

2007 Bear Instinct

:party0005:

I too have choices... but this is pretty much it.

I concur......that's why I own 4 of them. With different sights, peeps, and quivers it's agony trying to pick which one I will hunt with this year.
