What do you shoot and why?

Excalibur exomag crossbow shooting gt laser II carbon bolts with ST mag 100 grains. I shoot it cause my shoulder is messed up and it is the best shooting x-bow I have shot..
 
2010 Elite Z28 - 72.5#, 29.5" dl
Axcel Armortech custom 5-pin (all green, first pin .019 and bottom four .010)
Vaportrail Limbdriver rest
Stokerized 10" acrylic stabilizer
RAD 1/4" peep
29" Easton Flatline 340s, tipped with 100gr Magnus Stingers (total arrow weight 380 grains)
Stanislawski Shootoff Quatro release

I shoot an Elite Z28 because it's an awesome hunting bow. The axle-to-axle is fairly short and it has a very forgiving 7 3/4" brace height. It's not speed demon by any means, but it still throws my Flatlines 298-300 fps... generating nearly 80 ft/lbs of KE. What it lacks in speed, it makes up for in the silky-smooth draw cycle and rock-solid back wall. A great-looking, great-performing bow with an amazing warranty to back it up. The Limbdriver rest is about as simple a design as it gets when it comes to dropaways. Simple is good for a hunting bow. The armortech sight is built like a tank and the micro-adjust pins are really where it's at, IMO.

This setup works really well for me and I don't have much for complaints. It's definitely the smoothest-drawing bow I've ever shot, but I've yet to get my hands on a Strother bow.

Epe I spent some time with the salesman at the Excalibur booth at the expo, and I gotta say I think they're sweet and the string changing aspect is awesome.
I just can't get over how big they are or I'd probably have one.
 
09 Hoyt Alphamax 35

I was looking to invest in a newer bow last year and had it narrowed down to a monster, a z7 or the alphamax.

I found a guy that was selling his 6 month old alphamax so he could buy a z7
It came with a vital gear kazaway rest, apex 4 pin sight, and a fuse quiver and stabilizer. all set up ready to shoot, even set for my draw length for $600. That made my decision a lot easier.

I figure the next bow i get will be a recurve.
