LATE ARCHERY GEAR LIST
Elk - Deer - Sheep
AEO’s PREFERRED BOW
The TRIAX is a compact, maneuverable rig that’s deadly accurate and insanely quiet. Powered by our award-winning Crosscentric Cam system, and featuring our all-new 3D Damping technology, the TRIAX is built on a 28” ATA platform with a 6” BH and delivers up to 343 feet per second.
Preferred clothing Items
Team ZGF believes that the one of the most important parts of your hunt is your camouflage clothing and footwear. Nothing ruins a hunt faster than over heating, under dressing, using the wrong camo pattern or blistered feet. That it is why we couldn’t recommend KUIU camo anymore than we do. There is just no better product on the market that is lighter, stretches more, cools faster, warms quicker and blends better than KUIU ultra light camouflage. KUIU is hands down the best camo we have ever worn and strongly recommend it for your next hunt.
Ultra Merino 125 LS
The Ultra Merino 125 LS Crew-T is the lightest and fastest drying of all Merino layers. It is the ideal warm weather next to skin base layer for the active hunter. 2 shirts suggested for archery hunt.

The highly breathable ULTRA Tiburon Zip-T is a warm weather outer layer featuring Dot Air Fabric with micro openings allowing maximum airflow. 2 pair suggested for archery hunt.

Primary Footwear
Below are three choices of footwear companies that we know and love and highly recommend for your fall and winter hunts. The footwear listed below are not necessarily the specific items we recommend but more of about the company themselves. These companies have a proven track record for high quality and comfort that is unmatched in our experience. Team ZGF recommends two types of boots for your hunt. 1) A light weight hiking boot with insulate that is waterproof with good ankle support. 2) A waterproof heavier duty snow boot with a higher graham of thin salute for long cold days is recommended for your second pair.
