What archery equipment do you use?

Lots of threads about guns but I haven't really seen any on achery. Just curious what everyone is using?

My current set up is; PSE Durango, Spot Hog sight, Whisker Biscut rest, Carbon Express Maxima Hunter arrows and Muzzy 3 blade broadheads.

I have a PSE as well. Cannot remember model though. It is over 20 years old now I think. It is a target bow not hunting although it has been used for deer hunting with camo wraps to hide the bright blue and white.

I have a PSE, a darton and a jennings lighting. I use the darton most times but the PSE is a close 2nd. Carbon express arrows with bloodtrailers for broadheads. 65lb draw and 75 on PSE. fiber optics sights and Darton release, kisser button on each and double knock. The games begin sat morning and its snowing. see fall pics thread...

My PSE is actually about 6 years old. There are many good bow brands out there now. I have shot some of the newer ones but I can't find anything more comfortable or accurate for me than what I have right now. My biggest problem with bow season is finding time to get out. My son plays pee wee football and it is killing most of my Saturdays at the moment!

I shoot a 20+ year old Golden Eagle 90lb with full length arrows. I'm getting about 290' per second from it. I have a variety pack of points/heads. I also use a release and I've shot groups at 100 yds at an inch. Groups at 20 yds usually ends up costing me arrows as I tend to stack 'em one in the other. I guess that makes me a regular Robin Hood. Right now I'm looking for info about making a long bow. I wanna make my own.

I'm currently using a Hoyt Ultratech with Beman 500 arrows, thunderheads and some cheapo sight from gander mountain. Dropped a nice 2.5 yr old 7 point with it the other day.
