My 2024 Bowhunting Gear List

The list of items has been modified over my four seasons with a couple of upgrades each year. I feel like I am a pretty good spot with my gear and anything beyond this is an optional upgrade not a gap. Hope this list can a useful reference point for items you may need or want to get started or a conversation starter if you have any questions on my experiences.

My most exciting upgrades or changes this year is my arrow setup. Going with 20g inserts and 125g broadheads has added more knock down power and with the Magnus Fixed 4 Blade gives me a lot more confidence when taking the shot.

Other incremental changes were going to carbon climbing sticks taking a lot of weight off my pack and my Maven Binoculars that I got before a hunt in Alaska provides greater low-light clarity and less eye fatigue.

Let me know what you think, if you have questions or see some room for improvement.
