Just curious as to what type of sight do most of you use, pins or pindulum? I use a pindulum since pretty much all shots are from a tree and dont have to worry about yardage.

Question for the guys that know a lot about bows..... I have a X-force SS (a dual cam bow) and I have been hearing a lot of stuff about cam timing and how it can negatively affect your shots if they are not timed right. The question I have is how do you tell if your cams are out of timing; is there a tale tale sign that will let you know when they need to be tuned??? And how often does it.... Read More

Last year I had my spot and my deer all picked out for opening day of bow season. The day before the season I got a pic of a large bear. Thinking there would be better days to walk in the dark I decided to hunt elsewhere. The next time i checked my cams i had about 10 pics of this buck in broad daylight, right under my stand. Won't be long till that time again. Any advice?

My release is old but I like it and don't want to change it. It also stinks just from sweat, rain, time, etc. I can not seem to get the leather to not stink much less scent-free. After shooting during the heat of August and September it is inevitable but there has to be a way to fix it. I've tried washing it,keeping it in a bag with baking soda for a long time and nothing works. I guess I can.... Read More

Has anyone bow hunted out of a Tree Lounge? I was wondering if it was difficult or not to stand up in when a deer is coming in. I've been hearing things about it being the best stand out there, but it just seems like someone would have trouble standig up to make a shot and not being seen by the deer. Any comment are very much appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm looking for some first hand feedback on the Ultra Rest made by Quality Archery Designs. Also, the Hunter model Ultra Rest is $55, and the upper end Pro Model is $135. Is there enough difference between the two to justify buying the upper end model? I am leaning towards the Hunter version. Thanks in advance for any input.

With the right broadhead you can blow through a deer with 60 pounds an make a more accurate shot . You will be able to hold back longer when buck fever sets in an the deer walks behind a tree an stops for an extra 10 seconds to eat an acorn. The moment of truth can take forever sometime .

relax an shoot straight

My dog got a hold of my bow string a while back and she did a number on 3 or 4 small strands, but theres still alot of string left and its gonna hold for a while. Now, Before the smackdown and before I leave, I will get a new string. I'm trying to figure out who makes the LSU bowstring and for the best price.

I need some help. I'm interested this year in booking a guided bow hunt somewhere in the Midwest. (Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, etc.) I'm not looking to mortgage the house on killing the boone and crocket of a lifetime but wouldn't mind spening a little money for a nice place with descent scenery and the chance to kill a nice deer. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks in advnace.

OK guys, I am probably not the first to ask, but, what broadhead should I switch to this season - the 2 blade NAP BloodRunner or the Rage 2 blade? I was all set on going with the Rage after watching 'all the rage' about the 2 blade heads. Now NAP has released a 2 blade BloodRunner. It looks like it would work well too, but it is new, so feedback and reviews are not as available yet. I am.... Read More

Ask Drew Brees how to complete a pass. I remember seasons where I had opportunity after opportunity to kill and would fail. There have been seasons that all I could do was hit my mark. I can definitely say the years that I practiced more, I performed much better.

Guys when do you start shooting your bow? Year round? 2 months before the season? A few days before the season? Just an informal poll. I start in July, to be ready for the Oct. 1st opener. I have also hunted the mid Sept opener, when I am invited to that area, so I want to be sure I am ready if that occurs. It will be interesting to see what our practice habits are in this regard.

Does anyone know how you can increase your arrow speed on an existing bow. Right now I am shooting an archery research bow and am not sure about the #age. For the arrows I am.... Read More

Hi all,
From the traffic picking up in my bow shop, I can tell that bow fever is fast approaching. To help it out a bit, I thought I'd post a little clip of the video we're working on. I shoot a compound too, but traditional has become by passion. The video is about traditional shoots, traditional archery and the people that shoot them. What do you think?
