2016 Season Bow Setups

  • Aug 4, 2016
  • 1 min read

With the Fall 2016 season fast approaching, the most common questions I receive are in regards to my equipment. This will break down each of my 3 bows that I use, including arrows, sights, poundage, etc. Please keep in mind that if you've read previous blogs, I may have had different combinations on these setups; this is CURRENT and what I plan to use for my 2016 season. If I didn't address something, please comment below and I will update this article accordingly.

PRIMARY BIG GAME SETUP

Purchased: March 2015

Current Draw Weight: 54 lbs (ranges from 50-60; I train at 58, then drop back for season)

Broadheads: 100 grain Afflictor K2 Hybrid

Game Harvested: 1 Hog

  • I AM DEFIANT
  • #tbt to my prettiest pig because I'm about to be chasing some more with _jenniferferries 👯 But first, we're going bowfishing this evening!!_
  • It's late, I just had a killer arm workout, and it's nasty outside. So naturally I move into the barn to practice
  • Last arrow of the night. One shot, one kill

SECONDARY BIG GAME SETUP

Hoyt Charger - Vixcen Series

Purchased: January 2013

Draw Weight: maxed out at 50 lbs

Broadheads: 100 grain Afflictor K2 Hybrid

Game Harvested: 6+ Whitetail, 10+ Hogs, 1 Elk

Updated 9/13/16

I ended up using the above setup for my Florida gator hunt, rather than my Hoyt Ignite. Click here to see my YouTube video on why I switched. Stay tuned for the release of my entire hunt at www.YouTube.com/followherarrow.
