    What bows are people shooting these days

    Going to get back into bow hunting after both my brother and I had our bows stolen years back. Anyways just curious what people are using as far as

    bow
    stabilzor
    Arrow rest
    broadheads
    arrows

    any info on the above is appreciated. I'm looking for a big game western bow set up and have some ideas. Probably buy a package this winter
    anyone been to the archery shops just across the border. Daves outdoors. Or riverside archery

    PSE Prophesy here. Pretty fast at 340fps advertised. Had a drop away, but went to whisker biscuit.....one less mechanical movement to tune and break. G5 fixed blade broadheads...again, one less mechanical thing to think about. Just my preference. Carbon Express 350 arrow shafts. Scott release.

    Been good to me....after a little loctite here and there.

    Im shooting a bowtech rpm360
    QAD ultra rest (drop away)
    I have a short stabilizer but hear I should switch to a longer one
    Rage mechanical broadheads (was shooting slick trick but they are dull right out of the box so switched)
    GoldTip Kinetic Pierce Arrows 340 spine

    Happy with everything, drawing max weight (80lbs) and could reach out to 60yds if I really wanted too but try to keep it inside 40

    Just lined up the sale of my Bear Archery Attack and I have on order, a new Hoyt Carbon RX-1 60lbs draw weight. I am going to sell my QAD Ultrarest and use the Hoyt drop away, it's built to bolt on, no adjusting. I have been using a Trophy Ridge React site and like it but not sure it will work on the new rig.
    Tight Spot quiver
    Carbon Express Mayhem arrows
    G5 fixed blade
