I just recently changed my WHOLE setup from broadheads to bow! This year I will be meat seeking with a Mathews MR7 Blacked Out, QAD HDX, Axion Stabilizer, Arrow Web Quiver, 2 Blade BLOODRUNNER, Carter RX2 Release, and Easton 300 FMJ. Total arrow weight is 485 grains with head! I'm thinking this is VERY unhealthy for anything I shoot at! I'm excited! What ya'll got?!
I too just bought an MR7. Bought a fuse ultra rest, 10" stokerized standard hunter, sword sight trident hunter, carbon express maxima hunter arrows, and a mathews T-5 quiver. Still using my tru ball pro diamond xtreme release and 125 grain swhacker broadheads. I can't wait for fall.
After you get yours on the chrono let me know what it does! I'm very anxious for the fall! I'm keeping the sane sights I used before, Armortech 5-Pin HD. Ready to see what mine will do!
Next time I'm at my local shop I'll chrono it and let you know. At 80 lbs though yours should be shooting lightning bolts!
I wish they made 80 pound limbs for the z7x. Below is my setup. It is all brand new as well. What size is your stabilizer? Mine is the 4 inch. It looks great but I'm going to reduce down to the 2 inch just for weight purposes.
I'm sticking with the 84# Katera for hunting duty, just dropped it off for new strings. I might also use the Alphamax 35 a little.
pse brute 63# and a 29in draw. bloodrunner 2 blade, whisker biscuit, tru fire release, carbon express mayhem 250's, limbsaver stabilizer. just went in the stand today to see if everything was all tight. i sat there for about 10 min, and just could not wait.. i seen 5 deer while i was there. i just cannot wait for october 1st!!
Just switched over to Hoyt with CRX32 after shooting Mathews for years. Got the NAP Sizzor rest on it after leaving my Apache rest on the Mathews when I sold it. Will be shooting either the 2 blade or 3 blade Blood Runners come October.
Left my High Country Iron Mace in the dust for a new Mathews Z9!!! Going to shoot 100 grain three blade bloodrunners. I have heard and read alot of good things about them. Is it fall yet??
Well this year will be COMPLETLY different for me to. I currently have an 07 Bowtech Guardian that I absolutly LOVE. However I was foutunate enough to have the winning ticket at the Bowhunting.com Get together earlier this month. I won a 2011 Mathews Z7 extreme. I have all the goodies ordered for it and they should arive this week so I can start setting it up. Cant wait to shoot it. Im not used to a short ATA like the Z7x but it makes up for it with a generous brace height. It has a good feel in the draw cycle and a solid back wall. I ordered a vaportrail limb driver pro V, got a N A P apache 8"stabilixer that has a removable extension comming. Got Viper 5 pin sights on the way as well as a red eye peep. Also ordered a custom sling from sling braid thats on the way. Still have plenty of Victory arrows and will be using Rage 2 blade again as they have been awesome so far!
Switched to aluminum arrows, upped my arrow weight from 520 grains to around 595 grains, and will be switching to a 2 blade broadhead.
Switching from "normal" Muzzy MX-3s wich were 100 grains to the new steel-ferruled 125-grain MX-3s... still riding in front of my Muzzy 50-grain brass inserts for a total of 175 grains up front this year. Had to change my arrow's spine this year to accomodate the switch, but they're flying like darts... produced a 1" group at 50 yards yesterday with the Invasion.
Some new things, some the same.. New: Mathews Z7, Mathews ArrowWeb quiver, NAP 360 rest, Easton Flatline arrows. Old: Axcel Armortec sight, G5 meta peep, Scott Lil Goose, NAP 2 blade BloodRunners.
Not saying I can do it all the time... if I could, I'd be a pro. But did it yesterday... kept all three arrows in the black dot of my Morrell Yellowjacket at 50... I'd say she's dialed in, and I can't wait for the season to get here!
I was wishing they made the Z7x in 80 lb. limbs myself! I love the power of the heavier poundage! I shoot a big boy poundage because I'm a big boy! I'm going with the 4" stabilizer. It's not "too" heavy per say. Everybody seems to have some awesome setups! Virgina Shadow, you must be using a freakin TC Muzzleloader to shoot those arrows!
my new bow is old to everyone on here's standards but it should get the job done. Its a PSE bow hunter. 70lb big cam set up. It shoots 265fps consistently though. It has a True Glow 5 pin sight an older stabilizer that works great. I will have an Apache rest in two weeks and Mangus Stinger SS heads. It will work for this season and next year I should be able to afford a new Hoyt Rampage XT. Last year I shot a Bear Black Panther that was given to me. I didn't even get to shoot at one due to not knowing what I was doing setting up my stand sets. It sucks being an unemployed full time student. Good thing is when school is done I will be able to afford all the goodies!! That day can't come soon enough.
