I will start. This year lm gonna use my new Phoenix project bow with xact cuts and zombies with 110 inserts from the tree.
For the ground with the ghosblind I'm gonna use the 355 with the 100 grain dead ringer super freaks,same arra just shorter . So lf l get a broadside shot lts a double lung. And l also have the option of a throat shot for the straight ons that just seem to come with the decoy.
I really want to get one with the new Phoenix first
The new swhacker hybrids intrigue me l might try them also.

I am going with my BD380, Spinal Tapps with SK300 canes. Sticking with my Afflictor broadheads- 125 grain. I bought a Mancini 360 tree stand so I plan to use it in some new areas I found to hunt. I sold my M405 and bought a BD400 so plan to add a new trigger and it will be ready to hunt.

Either my Matrix 350 LE shooting 449 grain Tactical Tapps with lighted nocks and a 125 grain hypodermic or my Scorpyd DS 420 shooting 407 grain Spynal Tapps with a 100 grain Hypodermic and Q nocks. Depends on which I grab each day as I have no preference between the two.

Matrix 310
Hawke XB30 Pro SR
Nap Spitfire 3 blade 125 grain
18" Spynal Tapps (426 gr w/broadheads)

This set-up is a little heavy for the Matrix 310 but the 2 deer I shot last year never flinched until the arrow had done it's work.
Both were complete pass through's and one was at 42 yards.
The 8 pointer went about 25 yards, the doe somehow went about 100 yards after a double lung hit.

I shoot all summer with Executioners and 100 grain target tips (I have 23 of them)
When it gets closer to hunting season I will switch over to the Tapps with 125 grain tips and practice for a couple weeks. :wink:
I practice out to 60 yards regularly but have only ever shot the one doe over 28 yards. Most of my shots are 18 - 23 yards.

I currently have 2 enclosed blinds, 3 ladder stands, 3 hanging stands, and 2 pop up blinds to hunt from.
I am in the process of building 2 partially enclosed blinds from metal pallets that I got from work... these will be enclosed except for open fronts.
One will be tucked into some evergreens by our gravel pit which is a highly traveled area..
The other one will be nestled next to a big pine tree about 20 yards from a main trail the deer use to travel between the neighbors property and ours. This trail is a main scrape line as well.

My Micro 335 with Zombie Slayers will see almost all of the stand time in Virginia. If I do happen to sneak out into the local WMA here in WV, which is about 1/2 mile away, I'll carry my new Matrix 350 SE with 18" Zombie Slayers. Last year was the first year I shot slick tricks, and I'll be rocking them again this season for most shots.

For crossbow, I'm going with anyone that I grab that hunt, I keep my quiver in the truck all season, and the 3 Xcals. I have shoot the same combo.
17" Zombie Slayers, 110 grains in the snout, aluminum rear nocks, 125 grain Muzzy Trokar fixed blade heads. Probably hunt from the ground mostly using the Ghost Blind. Hope to get out a few more times than last fall! :thumbup:
