    Hey Folks,


    I'm actually going to today to shoot the 2015 bow line up today from Matthews and Bowtech, I'm not sure if this has been done here before but I would like to see everyone's wish list if money was not an object. List the bow you would choose right down to the accessories, sight, arrows, bow case. Here is what I am replacing:

    The reason I'm replacing this bow below is because of the age of this bow and really want to get up with new technology ;)

    This year I have take two shots at does and had two arrows snap upon impact, maybe these South Louisiana deer are smaller than the Ohio brutes but I lost both deer. Beyond frustrating, with that being said I need a little help on FOC and all that comes with it. Here is an Ohio buck I passes on hoping to get a shot at him next year: http://youtu.be/CcttaKrLkwI


    Browning Eclipse FPS 29inch draw 60lb pull
    Hostage Rest
    Cobra 3 pin sight
    Standard 5 arrow quiver
    Arrows:Maxima Blue Streak 250 w/ luminocks
    Muzzy 3 blade 100 grain
    D-Loop
    Peep Site
    Plano hard case

    I will be going on a spring bear hunt in Manitoba and want to be ready for Mr.Bruin when he present himself! :o

    Thanks for any and all responses in helping me out.

    Steve

    Why would the smaller deer be causing your arrows to break? It is most likely poor shot placement and a new bow won't change that.

    My choice is the one in my profile. I think you may be a little light in your arrow set up . Maybe not but seams light.

    Ok guys thanks for the info, I shot the Bowtech RPM360 & the Bowtech Prodigy along with the Matthews No Cam ST. All performed well but there was only one bow that I wanted to shoot more than the others. Well now I can say I'm the proud owner of a Matthews No Cam HTR bow, that bow to me feels like the right bow in my hand. Deceided to get the Lost Camo pattern along with the QAD drop away rest with the 5 inch Matthews stabilizer. Order the HHA optimizer sight along with the Maxima Hunter 350 with the 100 grain Rage chisel tip with nocturnal lighted nocks. Also ordered the Tan SKB Matthews edition bow case. Damn ya'll never told me how much this stuff cost! Lol

    I might have stated that wrong but while I was in Ohio I had two does snap arrows which in my opinion were quality shots, no not the best shot but we're enough in my opinion that should have killed both.
