Show and Tell: Your hunting bow...

[finelyshedded]

First ever shot of a broadhead from the Strother and first time I've ever shot the Stinger Buzzcuts. This is from 20 yards on a beans new target. That's what I call penetration and knock down power!!!

Very nice Jesse! They resemble a Zwickey a little.

Nice looking set up AJ. How many pounds you shooting? Your pins looked stacked tight! Good luck this season.

Not sure why the pictures are sideways but I'm no computer expert so it's the best I can do.

Nice choices. I REALLY like the PRIME line this year. I shoot an Impact and really enjoy it.

I'm back to the Mathews...

I have a major mental block right now when I grab the Strother, so I am taking my own advice and shooting what is comfortable. Also shooting what I am confident in and that's the bigger issue. Last night I took the Mathews out of the case fro the first time since Woodbury, and promptly shot a baseball sized group of 3 arrows at 37 yards. When I grab that bow, I know I will hit what I am aiming at, especially when it is a deer. When I grab the Strother, I have no idea if I'll hit my point of aim, but if I do, that sum bitch will drive a LOG of an arrow clean through whatever I shot at. The XT will put 2 holes in a deer just the same as the Infinity, so burying it in the dirt another 8" is of no real advantage unless I hit the shoulder. Which, shouldn't happen with the Mathews in my hand.

My and the Strother need more time together. Its a young relationship that will require a higher level of intimacy than we have right now. Someday we'll bond and then things will get really ugly for the deer!

Nothing wrong with being confident Jesse. Now go kill something.

Come on, somebody must have gotten a bow for Christmas.

Dang archertl that is a fine looking bow. I too have wanted to get my hands in that bow for some time. That seems Ike a fair trade for sure. Hope you like it.

I do the only thing I can say I wish it had was a Berger hole just for bow fishing. it draws a lot smoother than anyother trad bow i own and almos t as smooth as some of the ahziemers ive shot. I shot it threw the chrony after blueface and got between 204-206 fps with a 425 gr arrow. its a pretty slick package anr im sure it will find its way in my bag on tdy's and maybe a few deployments
