    If you are on Facebook, just click on someone's picture that has the frame. It should pull up an option to add it to your profile picture

    Seeing Atlasman's post made me realize that few if any of us said anything about our equipment. I'm always interested to hear what other guys shoot.

    My primary rig is a 2012 Mathews Z7x set at 65#/29.5 draw. I shoot Victory Vforce 350s and 100gr Muzzy Trocar HBs for a total arrow weight of ~495gr. Shoot a QAD Hunter Ultrarest and use a TruFire Hardcore release with Trophy Ridge React V3 sights set at 25/35/45.

    My secondary rig is more set up and used for elk but I occasionally take it to WI for whitetail. 2013 Mission Ballistic set at 67# with the same arrows (use fixed heads for elk; same Muzzys for deer) and a Trophy Taker Smackdown rest with Trophy Ridge React V5 sights set at 30/40/50/60/70. I 've had another QAD Hunter Ultrarest ready to throw on it for 2 seasons but just haven't gotten around to it. That Smackdown is awesome for those long range shots but snags a lot walking through CRP/brush and is not true 100% containment.

    Only have 2 week before season opens! Anyone else have a early start date? I also think I'm going on a dove hunt in a week, which should be fun! I haven't done that since I was in high school.

    I'm an Xpedition man...I have an Xcentric 6 & 7...the 7 is Predator Fall Brown. I shoot Victory RIP and NAP doublecross broadheads. My arrows are about 460gr. Here's my bareshaft results fromthe X7 at 20 yards yesterday after putting a new control cable on. Love how this bow shoots!

    I'm shooting bh.com edition Mathews Heli-m (from my BHOD days), Easton Axis 5mm 340's, Brass inserts, Green Nockturnals, Magnus Black Hornet Serrazor heads. I've threatened to get a new bow for 2 years, but I shoot this one so well, and it has made a lot of things dead in 5 years; over 30 deer killed with it.

    I'm shooting a Mathews halon 6. 70/29. Carbon Express pile driver 350 with a footer and 125 gr. Head I'm coming in around 530 gr. Still not sure on what head I'm going to use. I got 3 - 4 heads I'm trying, but I think I'm going with slick trick vipers 125.

    Prime Alloy for me, w/ a QAD HDX, Axcel Accutouch and Bee Stinger stab. I'm using CX Blue RZ 250s, tipped with 125g Rage hypodermics on one end, and blue Nockturnals on the other.. just set it up a few weeks ago and I'm totally loving it.

    I noticed that. That pic came from a friend of mines farm. Not sure how that happened unless he knows my buddy too! I don't think he would send me a fake pic. That place is in Kirksville MO and borders some of Drury's property.

    Haha, your buddy might be messing with you! It's strange that you don't know each other and have the same pic. Might be time for you to do some investigation
