In this video, Trail walks through his full 2025 archery hunting setup — from bow to broadhead — and breaks down why he chose each component to match his upcoming hunts for antelope and bull elk across multiple states.

Whether you’re dialing in your own rig or just curious what an experienced bowhunter is shooting this season, this in-depth build covers all the details: draw weight, stabilizer setup, arrows, release, peep, and more.

Full Bow Build Overview
Bow: Mathews Lift X33 (30″ draw, 70+ lbs)
Sight: UV Slider 2 (5-pin vertical post w/ slider)
Rest: QAD MX2 Ultra Rest
Stabilizers: Mathews Bridge-Lock (15″ front / 12″ back)
Strings: Apex Custom Bow Strings
Grip: Side plates + Lizard Skins bat wrap
Arrow: Ultraview 1K (300 spine, 470 grains)
Broadhead: Sevr Hybrid 1.5
Release: TruBall Executive (hinge)

This setup is built for versatility and performance in rugged terrain — whether in the high country, stalking antelope on the flats, or navigating tough late-season conditions.
