NEW GEAR FOR 2012? Give your new gear a "Ye" or a Nay! and.... tell us why! I'll get it statered and will add more as I have had proper time to evaluate each new purchase! Blacks Creek Satchel Soft Side Bow Case (Mathews Helim) -NAY Bow does not fit well with Stab (6") and quiver. Standard arrow tubes don't fit well. I purchased it before my bow arrived. Big mistake! PM if you want to buy it. Wicked Tree Saws - YE - Best hand tree saw I have found. I bought a second! Rhino XP-1 Ground blind ( Lost Camo) - YE - One of the best blinds IMO in lost camo. How could one go wrong. Zink Avian-X Turkey Decoys - YE - I added Zinks new 2012 jake decoy to my collection! I have their feeder and looker as well. These deeks along with Dave Smith Decoys are second to none. I have both and each have traits I like over the other. K-Tech KB26 Stabilizer - YE - Quality and design is second to none! If you like Axion, you will love K-Tech.
Bought new BEAR ENCOUNTER so far a Ye. Very smooth draw, quiet light weight and compact so I can shoot from my blind.
any thoughts on the mission venture?? I need to buy a bow and need to keep it under $600 for a RTS/RTH package. Any suggestions?
TRUGLO Versa Peep - Change you apeture size without a bow press! I've been using it for 2 weeks! I give it a Ye so far!
I'll play. Mathews Heli-m - YE Been shooting a lot more the past few weeks and this bow rocks. I love the draw cycle and it holds great. A touch more vibration on the shot than my z7x, but still very nice. All in all, I'm digging it. Pine Ridge Nitro Stabilizer - YE It's pretty and matches the colors on my bow, so I like it. Very of me. CX Maxima Arrows - YE Shooting great with them so far. K-Tech Sidebar - ? Basically this bracket replaces the factory string stop and includes an additional Harmonic Stabilizer and a small side stabilzer that's adjustable front and back. I haven't really fine tuned it, but also haven't noticed much of a difference than with my standard string stop. For the $, I'm up in the air. It wasn't cheap. NAP Apache Carbon - YE Love this rest. Light weight and rock solid so far. HSS Ultralite Harness - YE! Granted I haven't hunted with it yet, but from wearing it around the office a bit I love this thing. Having worn both the Muddy and the Tree Spider, I have to say I like the HSS the best. It's very comfortable, easy to adjust, and easy to put on. I'll admit I was skeptical at first, but can't say enough good about it. Hope to test out the lineman's feature when hanging stands next month.
Get a Mission Eliminator. Its a great bow. I have been shooting one for 2 years and I still dont wanna buy a new bow.
Lone wolf Alpha and sticks,,YE I havent hunted with them yet but have had them hanging in the yard and did some walking around with it. I cant find anything bad! Pine ridge Nitro stabalizer YE It matches my Bow so im to LOL Pine ridge wrist sling to match Bow also, its even adjustable,,,Big YE NAP Apache Micro tune,,dialed it in the other day, I shoot better with it than I did the vaportrail Limbdriver pro V big YE Carbon express pile drivers on the way,,so ill get back to that! NAP 100 grain 3 blade bloodrunners,,,still waiting to break them in! Gamehide solo cam lost camo, Shirt, Jacket, pants, gloves,,,havent got to hunt with them yet but the quality already gives me a YE Cannon XA10 and lots of acessories Big YE again,,,love it so far!
Carbon Element RKT.....YE This is the smoothest shooting bow I have ever shot in my life! QAD ULTRA REST HDX.....YE complements the hoyt very well and does what it is supposed to do. It contains fully then gets the heck out of the way! SPOT HOGG .19 5 PIN REAL DEAL HOGG WRAP....YE tough, bright, small pins, sexy. what more can you ask for from a sight G5 T3 Broadheads....YE 5 DEER 3 HOGS with these babies since October of last year and i have not had one fail to open or not pass all the way through. TRU FIRE Hardcore Buckle Foldback MAX....YE just deadly.
2012 Hoyt Carbon Element RKT Ye- Just plain awesomeness NAP Apache CARBON Ye- easy to tune no complaints at all. Apex Gear Nitrus sight Nay- if you are going to need more than four pins, IMO get a slider. 6 pins is just way too much going on in a sight window. It will do until I figure out if I really can afford a CBE or want to buy an HHA. Comfort Zone Lock on Ye-cheap, $30.00 on sale. I used one of these for a season and a half and couldn't be happier. I will be buying 2 more before season. Easton Axis Nfused. Ye- as of right now these are my hunting arrows. The only thing is they may be too light. Beman ICS speeds ye- for 3D on a budget. Light with 100gr tips @ 28", NAP QuickFletch and Beman "S" nocks (better than the factory) they weigh 369.5-372gr.
Let's see I have been busy shopping this off season: 2012 Hoyt Rampage XT- Love it Ripcord Arrow Rest- Love the locking feature on this rest New UA Apparel and Scent Lok Apparel- Can't wait to try Muddy Harness and Tree Stand- Love them both. Outdoor Edge Flip and Zip - Can't wait to open the first kill of the season with it
Mathews Z7X-YE, could have bought the heli-m, but the extreme IMO is a lot sweeter to shoot. Deep 6 FMJ's-YE, insane penetration and they hit hard! I can't wait to get one bloody! Badlands monster fanny pack-YE, probably the only hunting pack I'll ever need! More than enough room for everything plus lunch, and it seems to be well constructed. Plano all weather bow case-HUGE YE, I love this case! I know I'll hear it for this one, but I honestly think its got a tougher sidewall than the SKB's. At 100$ cheaper than the SKB's this case may not have fancy TSA certified locks, but it is tough tough tough! I can't wait to fly with it and put it to the test! Deep 6 spitfires- cant give a YE or NE as I've yet to kill anything with them, but if they perform like the original spitfires, it'll be a YE. Plus they are sweet looking with that red paint job! Muddy outfitter hang on-YE, well built, light, comfy seat, large platform. I already bought 2 I like this stand so much.
