I shoot a Hoyt Spyder 30” I think it’s from 2014.. I really  like it it shoots well. I only shoot 65 pounds.. It kills deer and it just feels right in my hand

Sold my crossbow today.  I will be hunting with a Bowtech Amplify this upcoming season.

with a bad back the compound collects dust.....sitting in the case Mathews Z2, just a somewhat newer version of the Z7

Probably going to be the last year with my Hoyt Faktor Turbo. Always been a Hoyt guy but Mathews has been catching my eye over the last few years

Before my back injury I shot a Mathews z7 . After that I shot a Mathews creed. Now I’m back to traditional archery. Funny thing is I shoot better instinctive anyway. I’m shooting a 40lb bear recurve. Trying to build up to a 55lb recurve. Doesn’t matter anyway. You have a razor sharp broad head and shoot straight your gonna get it done.

Good retraction, introduced learn't to shoot a bow at summer camps and I was 8 years old and lucky and grateful today I had that experience! You keep it up recurve hntv, kind of like riding a bike your bow muscle's have memory will come back.👍

I started hunting at 10 years old. My dad taught me if you start with sites on your bow you will never go back to instinctive hunting.  So my first compound bow was a black bear. No sites. Hunted a few yrs and missed a few deer. Hunting state woods it was hard. When I finally put a site on my bow I started killing deer. Now I’m back to what my dad taught me. Instinctive Bow shooting. Nothing like killing a deer, turkey with a recurve bow!

Hoyt Spyder 34 which is due for a new string and since Strictly Archery shut down haven't found a new spot to find it so I may be starting off the season with my backup which is a Parker Thunderhawk.

I shoot a Mathews Z7. I shopped around for a new bow the last 2 seasons, but nothing I picked up felt as good as the Z7. Updated the strings earlier this month and, she is good as new. Very happy with how it is shooting.  Shooting much lighter weight this season, I dropped from #70ish down to #60ish, I tweaked my shoulder and am slowly gaining strength back. In no rush to bump the weight up, if it happens before the season great, if not thats ok too.

I shoot FMJ arrows, I want to say 340 spine, but might be 300... which every ones are ~11 GPI. I have a 75 grain insert (don't love, wish I went with a 100 outsert but whatever) tipped off with a Magnus stinger
