How do you bowhunt????

[Farmerjon]

I don't bowhunt, but my daughter, son in law and many friends do. It runs the gamut of, recurve to compound, no sights, three pins pin sights, leather finger pads to mechanical release, quiver across back to mounted quiver. There are probably more choices I am not aware of, but just wondered how it stacked up in your neck of the woods or in your house.
Dang it, forgot to put mechanical release and finger pads as an option!!

How can I add it to the poll????

compound bow, quiver on the bow until I get in the stand and then it comes off. and I use one pin on my sight

when i hunt animals i use sights and when i bowfish i use no sights and on all of my bows i use a fixed rest

I think I might try a pin on my fishing bow this year.

 

[Mike H]

Compound, 5 pin sight, release aid, & bow mounted quiver until I'm in my blind or stand then that comes off.

I guess I kind of do it all when it comes to bowhunting.

Option 1. A Mathews with 4 pins out to 60 yards quiver on bow for transportation. Once on stand quiver comes off.

Option 2. Black widow recurve purely instinctive. Quiver on bow until on stand when it comes off

Depending on where I'm hunting and what I feel like that day I have 3 bows to chose from for hunting.
1. Mathews compound pin sights quiver on bow til I reach stand.
2. Martin Long bow, Instinctive, quiver on hip til stand
3. Bear recurve, Instinctive, quiver on hip til stand

Compond bow with 5 pins from 20 to 60 yards. (I do not shoot at deer out to 60 yards.) Quiver on my bow till I get on stand. I took my biggest turkey ever and first with a bow in Tennessee last year. Good thing to because I never even herd a bird in Indiana let alone see one!

Pearson Diamondback VX, 3 pin sight (20-30-40 yrad pins), I use a release, AND no peep sight. I use a Timberline No Peep. Quiver is a Pearson 2 piece which stays on the bow. I carry 4 arrows in it. If I can't hit one in four trys, I NEED to go home.

Compound bow (PSE Brute) at 29", 70 #'s, 5 pin site, 3 arrow quiver attached to bow then taken off once in the stand. I hang it on my bow holder.
