Got a pair of Hoyt rampages.
One 58# One 68#
I like the F 15 100 grain broad head
Dove tailed sights one black gold, one a viper. I like the viper better
Whisker biscuits rests
Custom strings....lube the limb pockets.
The biggest improvement for me was a hook release not the claw type tightened her right up.
Got a chub on the arrows I bought this year.....the Fletch says " don't tread on me". Lyrics to Uncle Johns Band.

I bought a new bow this year. I had a Mathews Z7 since it came out and got some great trophies and experience out of it.
I tried on the new Halon, but didn't care for the weight or balance. I ended up with Hoyt.
Hoyt Carbon Defiant Turbo
70# with #2cams at 28"
498gr Easton FMJ at 280fps
125gr Magnus Buzzcuts
Beestinger 10/8
SpotHogg Fast Eddie XL double pin
Tight Spot 3 Arrow Quiver
Whole set up weighs 5.69lbs.
Now while it's an awesome bow, I enjoy shooting my cheap Sammick Sage 50# recurve more.
I have it loaded with 450gr GT Traditionals with the 125gr Magnus Buzzcuts too.

Acadian woods recurve @ 52# shooting POC and Bear greenies with bleeders.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Shooting my Mathews with the FMJ's and a few arrows started spraying. Same three consistently were all over the place. After scratching my head for a bit, I checked to see if they were straight. Sure enough -- they were slightly bent. No idea how it happened unless I did it pulling them from targets. Either way, the FMJ's are out. I have some Bloodlines in the corner I'll play with next.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
