I will continue with my Ten Point Titan HLX that I love! Would not change a thing. It has become a dear companion. I will continue with my xx75 Easton arrows and Montec 125 grain broadheads. I see no reason to change a winning combination.

This will be my first year with a crossbow (Tenpoint Turbo). I will be shooting GT Laser II's with 125 grain NAP Spitfire mechanicals hunting out of either my box stand or my Rhino XP-1 ground blind (the best ground blind made to date). I have to do a little more testing with the 3" Fusion vanes versus the 4" Vanetec's to see which ones I like the best. I use a leica 1200 rangefinder. I will be bathing, shampooing, deodorizing and spraying with Scent Killer. And NEVER.. I repeat NEVER forget your Thermacell, especially down here in South Louisiana!! Oh and I recently added a Ameristep ground blind fan to my arsenal along with a Ameristep ground blind seat..the small triangular one with three legs that swivels, I am really impressed with it.

What else would you like to know??:P

Ok, I'll devulge.

On most occasions I'll use a Barnett Penetrator, HHA Optimizer, 4X scope, GT Laser II's, Slick Trick 125 Mags, Blazer vanes.

In those cases I find I can make use of a bit more power due to ranges involved, I'll use Barnett Buck Commander, HHA Optimizer with Solo 3X scope, GT Laser II's, Slick Trick 125 Mags, Blazer vanes.

When I still hunt, I'll use a Barnett Jackal, 3X or 4X multi line scope, GT Laser II's, Slick Trick 125 Mags, Blazer vanes.

In all actuality, any of these will do the job for normal hunting distances.
