I had spray on. I like the bed rug better and blood sprays right out. No stains.

Nice job Larry. WE can start a support group in Webster for old-ish guys trying to avoid aging! How is that new truck? Its a looker.

Good for you rob. I would like to shed 60-70 myself. NO need to be the defensive lineman anymore. I think my draft chances are over. lol

John really is top notch - both in knowledge and as a person.

Thanks Dave. Planned on it last year and failed/let is slide. But I keep reminding myself that there ain't too many older people walking around that weigh in the 300s. lol

3000 may be time for a change. You usually can tell by sound, visual inspection or measuring BH and ATA. What weight and DL do you shoot?

Another beauty!

I recently decided to get more serious about training again - time to really get in shape - which means less time for shooting. I am already really sore from kicking it up a notch. (as an aside, I am down 12lbs so at least heading in the right direction) Recognizing that the recurve may have to take a back seat for a while (still plan on using it this season to the extent I remain shooting well), I couldn't just live with my one and only compound. Found a brand new 2018 PSE evolve 31 (debated on the 35 but couldn't pass up the 31 at this price and my current compound is 32 - close enough) for $545 and bought it at the recommendation of a tuner in VA (Breathn) that I trust. I didn't actually buy the bow from him as he was out of stock. But he said it is the best cam design he has ever worked with. Shipping today. Not sure if it will be set up by this season. I was never a PSE guy as I thought they were generally speed bows with the related harsh draw and shock. But Breathn convinced me that their new offerings are top notch, smooth and fast - he sells elite, obsession, PSE and one more that I can't remember. Taking a chance on this having never shot one, but at this price I am sure I can sell it without much of a loss if its not as great as I have heard. Anyone here shoot one? Just curious if we have any personal experience. The reviews I read were good and more than anything I trust Breathn. He knows his way around bows and understands my preferences. A little compound tuning and easy accuracy might be a nice break.

Its all triangles Rob. lol

Pick up some weaker spined Easton gamegetters. They are cheap and have killed a lot of deer. Work with your shop to figure out the right spine and length. Cheapest way to get going this year.

Would love to shoot one in velvet, but we need to move even further back to get there. Guys in WI are getting it done already.

2012-2013 More Bowhunting Opportunity Bow season in the Southern Zone and the regular season in Westchester County (bowhunting only) will now begin October 1 each year. In the Northern Zone, a new bowhunting season will run for 7 days following the close of the regular season in areas that also have a late muzzleloader season. 2013 was first season with Oct. 1 opener

They should spin like a top. Perhaps you had a bad arrow or insert?

Not sure how one catches one that escaped. Hunt with tranquilizer darts?

2013 or 2014 I believe.

Those dunstans look great. How long ago were they planted? Thinking of adding some to my property. Thanks.

spin test the BHs Mike. Put them tip down (still attached to arrow) on a smooth surface and spin em like a top. You will know quickly if a tip is bent or there are other issue. Should spin smoothly.

Always nice when the new toy performs! Good luck with it Bill.

Lots easier to just carry 20' of paracord with a loop on one end and caribiner on the other. Loop one end around your wrist and other on the bow. Pull up when you finish climbing. Those permanently attached tow ropes always seem to get blown around and stuck in places in the wind, not to mention the possible breakage. IMHO.

This one hasn't even been reported missing by the owner. Good luck to him prosecuting a claim if its killed by a hunter. Heck some hunters might not be aware at least initially that its not a whitetail. Now if you know the farm where it was raised like TC did, reporting it to the owner and letting it run is the right thing to do. IMHO.

I wouldn’t shoot multiple broadheads at a single spot. Pretty much guaranteed damage. I assume TC is asking if the BH are consistently hitting the same poi.

top One was first 21yds with compound. Going to fling a few deep

Looks like a bear to me with weeds sticking up splitting those front legs to look skinny. Check a pick that is clear. Is there a tall weed in that spot?

Be careful. Couple days ago I shot a BH and then a FP. Two great shots, except he FP hit the back of the BH in the target and pushed the BH and insert deeper in the rinehart. Pulled out an arrow with no head. Decided to take a loss on the BH rather than cutting open the target. Shoot one, retrieve, shoot the other IMO.

lol - I know I have sat some windy days where I was more concerned that I couldn't get a good shot due to the tree moving or a nearby tree falling on me. Effect on the arrow was not part of the thought process.
