WHAT’S ON YOUR BOW? ELLA GIBSON

-

BOW: Hoyt Invicta.

LENGTH: 40in.

POUNDAGE: 60lbs and 19lbs holding weight.

CAMS: SVX.

Why this set up? "I love the hard wall on the SVX cams, which lets me be aggressive on the back end when I want to without pulling past the stop. I shoot a 40in Invicta as I feel it fits me better than the 37 and is a forgiving bow. In the past year, I have had the privilege of being able to test multiple bows and bow brands. I have found, without a doubt, that this is the best bow and set up for me, giving me the highest scores and best performanc­e under pressure. "

REST AND BLADE: AAE Freakshow QD with a 10 Freak blade.

SIGHT: Axcel Achieve XP.

SCOPE: Axcel AV25 +.

LENS: 0.75.

DOT: 0.8mm fibre.

PEEP: Speciality Archery 3/64th.

CLARIFIER: Green 2 strength.

Why this set up? "The Axcel sight is a truly great sight which has no excess movement or sound. It has a locking system for piece of mind and micro adjustment for moving your sight in addition to looking great. My Axcel scope is perfect for me. Smaller than a standard size scope with a smaller peep gives a more accurate alignment. I use a Feather Vision lens with a drilled hole that has my fibre in it and a green 3/64th clarifier to help make the target a little clearer and be able to aim more accurately."

GRIP: Equilibriu­m Archery six-degree prototype.

STRINGS Reign Supreme Bloodline 99.

RELEASE AID: TRU Ball Blade Pro Flex with a custom Matrac Thumb barrel 9mm diameter. "It is set fairly light."

STABILISER­S: AAE Nitrous rods with a 10-degree offset on the front.

WEIGHTS: 23oz on long rod and 21oz on side rod.

LENGTHS: 30in and 15in.

ARROWS: Black Eagle Revelation­s, 400 spine, AAE Hybrid 2.0 vanes. Points: Black Eagle Tungsten 120gr. Easton Large G Pin nocks. "In the past year or so I have changed from shooting a 37in Invicta to a 40in Invicta which I find fits me so much better and is a forgiving bow. I have also changed my side rod from a 12in bar to a 15in bar, which just gives me a slightly different feel in the bow."

"In addition, I have increased the mass weight on my bow quite significan­tly from 12oz on my long rod to 23oz, and 16oz on my side rod to 21oz, which makes the bow feel far more stable, especially in windy conditions."

"I now use a Matrac thin thumb barrel on my TRU Ball blade release aid, which I absolutely love. It has a good amount of texture that grips onto the skin of your thumb so that you can have a nice relaxed hand position that stretches without your thumb slipping off your barrel which gives a more consistent shot timing to your shot especially during rainy or sweaty days."
