I really love cedars but recently I have bought some carbons which are really a pleasure to shoot.  For hunting I like 4 x 4" on 90 Deg. Parabolics and 3 x 5" Hi-Back Shields.

A couple months ago I would have said blackhawk vapors, but I recently started shooting Easton full metal jackets and they are great for me.
