Whats you bow setup?

[Viper22]

Since I just got into bowhunting, I'm surfing archerytalk like I first did NES. Reading as much as I can and trying to make sense of it all. I'm finding that bow porn is just as good as gun porn (almost)

Well anyway, here's my setup:


20 yard pin sight-in

Martin Monster BuckHunter
60lb draw weight/ 80% letoff
set at 26.5" draw length
cheapo fiber optic sight
Striker rest
Easton CarbonStorm 400 arrows w/ 100 gr. field points for now
Cobra release


I picked up this bow from DSG. Now I know its a Martin, but could not find much info on the "Monster BuckHunter" model. With more digging, I found that Martin builds bows for DSG with leftover parts. These bows are just as good as their normal product line. It turns out my bow is made with a Leopard riser, Cheetah limbs, and the M-Pro cam from the Cheetah/Bengal/Moab Pro Hunter line of bows...All in all a pretty good bow for the money I spend on it. Its good for 310 IBO.



Lets see your bowhunting setups!
