Crossbow i guess ...  handgun ... change them out through the season.. try to give all them a little love . 

I was at the gunshop  today and they had a 460  s&w that I would love to have . The price has gone up $500 since last year.

Bow - Hoyt nitrum 30 around 65lbs - easton 6.5s with nockturnals and trying the 125 grain grim reaper whitetail specials (couldn't resist $44 for a 4 pack.)

Gun - 30 30 marlin lever. Hornady leverevolutions 160gr

M/Z hopefully it doesn't come to that

Bow: My 2004 PSE Nova that I got as a 14th birthday present from my dad. I never saw a reason to upgrade. It kills them if I do my part.

Gun: I got a new to me Ruger Super Blackhawk this year. I decided not to carry a rifle until I kill something with that.

Muzzleloader: Still trying to fill a tag with my TC Hawken for the 8th year in a row. There are years I certainly wish I didn't get rid of my scoped inline ML.

I still have my Bear "Lights Out". I threaten to get a new one every year, and never do because it works every time. Still use Beman with 75gr Muzzys at 62 pounds. Nothing fancy, but gets the job done.

For rifle, I just use my Mossberg 100 ATR in .270 with 130gr Winchester, whatever the cheap, grey box is. This rifle is usually in the hands of a lady or youth hunter, as I usually only shoot a couple does during regular season. I always like to help others that are less experienced, or have little time because of work or little kids. And, I have a couple good sized pop ups that kids are always welcome to sit in with me and/or their mother. We always have a good time.

Nice assortment.

[ncountry]

Well. I'm going to start out with my TC Encore muzzleloader hunting elk in Colorado.  Shooting 297gr thor bullets with fffg powder.

Then I'm going to break out my 75# Obsession m6 with 125 gr Rage broad heads.

Couple weeks later I will break out the mzl again for a week. 

Then switch barrels on my TC to .300 win mag. Hunt for a few weeks

Head to Letchworth using my bow and occasionally my Barnett whitetail  for 1 1/2 weeks.

Switching back to the muzzloader for the southern firearms opener and a few days.

Returning home and breaking out the 300 again. Untill....

Late muzzloader season..

Wow!   Breaking it all down , it sounds pretty complicated...lol

Shooting very little but really well with the black widow I killed my first PY with. I plan to hunt with it.  For rifle, likely my 2A AR10 6.5 creedmoor.   Or my handy little Henry 30-30.
