And that's why I purchased mine. My summit climber was very very comfortable, I was also soaking wet by the time I made it to my tree.....

Thank you good sir!

And you sir took the educated route of saving yourself about 700 dollars, lol How are you liking it?

That is a great way to make money ......

Decided to pull the trigger and went all in. Purchased a D'ACQUISTO SERIES HANG-ON .5 with 4 COMPACT CLIMBING STICKS in 20" with cable aiders.

Investing a grand in First Lite clothing, I'm finally "warm" during those 5 degree morning sits ......

I tried the Ventum33 as well, it was nice. For me, the RX7U was just better than the V3x. I normally shoot 60lbs, and I'm still working on form during the draw cycle. What sold me on the RX7U was that I could pull 70#s as it felt like pulling 60lbs of the Matthews. The draw cycle was insanely smooth, and the grip was just better. My only gripe is the color, all they had was one Gore Optifade Elevated II. I really wanted just a solid color. First world problems I guess.

You're correct, it ran about a half inch long.

Alight, just got back from the shop. We confirmed I'm a 29" draw length. I also decided against the Matthews v3x and went with a Hoyt RX7 ultra.

You know, when I asked them for extra doe tags besides the 2 dmp tags I got they said not until November, does that sound right to you?

Thanks for all the responses guys. I shoot the bowtech pretty well for a noobie, 3" groups at 40yrds. I'm 5' 11", middle finger to middle finger measures out to a little over 72"s. They got their measurements wrong. I plan on going back today to pull 28 then at 29 and to see if there is any difference in feel, 28 just seems a little drastic of a change.

Hey Guys, I just picked up a new bow today. I had been previously shooting my bowtech carbon zion at 29.5 draw length, they measured my draw length and said I was actually at 28. I felt perfectly fine at 29.5, should I have them setup the bow using the same draw length I'm using now or should I go down an inch and half like they recommended? New bow is a Matthews V3x, I don't think they took the bow into account though. They just measured my draw length with a measuring tape and called it a day. What are your thoughts?

Grats on the new bow! I just pulled the trigger on one as well. I just picked up a v3x today, your opinion is making me sad .. lol. Update us if you do decide to switch, I'm coming from a bowtech carbon zion .. The difference is night and day.

Excellent, thanks everyone. Your insight has really helped me figure out what direction I'm going to go in.

True, some heavy socks might do the trick....

I get bored sitting there waiting :/ That being said, I'm sure I'll log plenty of hours in the stand this year.

Anyone try stalking in Moccasins? If so, what are your thoughts on them? Once the leaves start dropping my boots make a ton of noise, it's almost impossible to successfully stalk anything.

I understand what's going on now, thank you!

Are you sure about the Bucks? https://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/6403.html DEC is saying DMP tags are only valid for antlerless deer (have no antlers or antlers less than 3" long). I'm pretty sure even with a bow I would still need a DMP tag to take a doe before regular bow season(3M Oct. 1st) starts, right?

Mornin, I picked up my tags today. This is the first time I've done this early, I said I wanted to sign up for DMP Tags. I'm not 100% sure how this works but on the receipt it is showing. ItemQuantityPriceDeer Management Permit - Instant1$10.00 Choice Hunt Dates 1. 3M | Awarded 3M 09/01/2022 - 01/31/2023 2. 3M | Awarded 3M 09/01/2022 - 01/31/2023 Does that mean I got the tags and can start bow hunting September FIRST?

I can only hope my death is as good of a death as this guy's.

For a moment there I thought you were talking about the itch to hunt

Excuse my ignorance here, semi new to the hunt. Can I apply for a DMP tag when purchase my doe tags on August 1st? There is no way to apply for DMP before August 1st, correct?

How does squirrel taste?
