I just gotta get real close. But then again that's why I love bow hunting.


I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

I still shoot my Matthews Z7. I started off with lesser expensive bows but picked up a used Z7 5 years ago. It would take a whole lot to make me switch bows again. I still shoot aluminum shafts too, too old to change now.

I'm in the old school camp of what worked for me years ago and it's not broken, I stay with what filled my tags.
Like that old saying it's not the bow, it's the Indian.

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

Last week I got a Halon 6 32"

Liking it a lot.

Still have the diamond iceman it replaced. It's a great bow as well


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I have no desire to change bows, I bought this one in 2011 and I absolutely love it.

I use a Mathews Chill as primary, Bowtech Assassin as backup. Last year shooting at 70lbs, dialed it back to 62 this year (so I can draw easily from sitting position).

Mathews HeliM. Had a DXT before and sold it to a buddy. Wish I'd kept it. Loved that compact bow in popups.

And I buy used off arechery talk classifieds. The pro staff guys sell them for half price before they're a year old when they get a new model. I got my HeliM with extras for $600
