    Curious how you guys like the single pin for hunting? I was on the fence of the Spot Hogg Fast Eddie and the HHA but ultimately went with the Spot Hogg for the 2 pin option. Getting it setup this week or next.

    I used a 5 pin slider for my trip to New Zealand. I was worried about the stag moving while I was at full draw. Guide had range finder and could call out yardage.

    Same z7extreme I've shot for several years now. Might be my last bow, it's smooth, compact and forgiving.

    My main bow is a Triax but my backup is a Z7Extreme. Awesome bow, just slightly louder than the Triax.

    Same bow as last couple of years. Elite Impulse 31 with a QAD rest, Easton Axis 340s tipped with some Wasp Drone heads, but I will probably update my sight. Been running a single pin slider but I think I want to move to a three pin slider.

    I keep looking at the new Bowtech Revolt and Mathews VXR 31.5 ......... but my 2 Bowtech Experiences sure have been good to me. One's a 2012 Black Ops and the second one was special ordered from Bowtech in 2016 in Realtree AP. Both running LimbDrivers, Sword sights, and Octane stabilizers while slinging 350 Blue Streaks and Shuttle-T broadheads.

    I do have an Optifade Insanity CPXL (same accessories as Experiences) that I enjoy shooting from time to time. I keep saying I'm going to sell that bow, but never can bring myself to it.

    Hard to beat the experience, when I bought my realm SS last summer I just couldn’t part with mine and kept it as a backup.

    Sadly that's what I'm finding myself feeling as well. That's exactly how I talked myself out of the Realm SR6 last year. I was like, if I'm that attached to it, just shoot it. LOL!!!

    It doesn't help that I have all 3 bows set up identical, so it makes going from one to another really easy.
