What equipment do you shoot for bow hunting?

I have plenty of length in the inseam and I normally wear a 34 or 35 inch inseam in jeans. Another thing with the Snosuit that really makes the fit and functionality GREAT is the pant gaiter at the bottom of each leg. The gaiter is a little longer than the outer leg of the suit so when you do bend over or flex your knee there’s no way to get any snow or cold up the pant leg.

The jacket uses this same type of gaiter to go around your waist to keep snow and cold from coming up your back when you ride snowmobiles or when you bend over.

The attention to detail is impressive.

I thought it would be interesting to find out what equipment everyone shoots for bow hunting.

DO YOU LIKE THE .010 BETTER THAN THE .019? IT MUST BE GREAT AT LONGER DISTANCES

it does work great out to 50 yards thats as far as i have used it so far

BOW–PSE X-Force 29″ draw 73 pounds

ARROWS–Carbon Express Maxima 350’s 100gr tips 396grain total arrow weight

SIGHT– HHA Optimizer

REST– Golden Key 3D Rover

BROADHEADS– WASP HAMMER SST thinking of switching not sure what to get yet

STABILIZER– X-Ring

Go with the .010 wrapped pin. There is no reason not to. They are plenty bright with the wrap, actually to bright, when it is sunny out. Get the rheostat housing so you can tone it down (get rid of the halo) when you need. Make sure to get this years model, with the Armour pin. HHA has phenemonal customer service, but having a busted, user unreplaceable pin, doesn’t do you any good. When you get out to 70-80+ yards, your groups will be noticeably better with the smaller pins.
