I like that colored grip, pretty cool looking. Looks comfy as well. Yours is the first metal riser I have seen with antler knobs. Sharp

Above is my hunting setup for this year. Bear Kodiak Magnum 55# with selway bowquiver full of homemade ash shafted arrows tipped with Magnus II 125gr broadheads. I use a bullhide antler armguard, and a super glove modified with a compass attached to it. The backdrop is my homemade ghillie suit attached to a fleece pullover jacket.
Below are my 2 main hunting knives. KA-BAR USMC fighting knife next generation straight edge with 440A stainless and my folder is a KA-BAR mule with AUS 8A stainless steel.

i didnt have money to buy myself a nice bow haha.
shooting a ragim impala that once was 50# , but now is 48#@28" and 62".
feels like 65#, but it shoots arrows where i want them to be and thats enough i guess.
cant go hunting though.  :o

i like your metal riser btw.
i thought about getting myself a hoyt gamemaster myself once because it was so comfortable in hand.
decided i would rather buy myself a bow with nice coloured wood one day though.

(hope you can understand what i am writing, my english teacher of the past three years were really bad hehe)

I am hunting two bows this year. The first my RER Arroyo 54"s and 54#s at my draw with Heritage 150's and 50 grain brass inserts and 125 Snuffers. The second is a 66' Bear Grizzly 56"s and 50#s at my draw(28.75"s). I am shooting Bear Micro-flights all original #8s with Bear Razorheads cut to 30"s bop. I just decided yesterday on the second one as I just found the arrows and ran out to see how they would fly and they were perfect. I have 3 weeks before our opener but I am ready for sure. I have all 52 stand sites ready to go!! Shawn
