Good info, without the hype. Thank you.

Congrats to this hunter!!! Certainly this is the hunting opportunity of a lifetime! Would love to hear everything, from selecting a guide, property chosin to hunt, set up prior to the hunt, and of course all the details of the hunt itself!! That would be epic!! I get warm and fuzzy just thinking about it!

I did consider the weight issue affecting arrow flight/accuracy Brian. I'm going to decide what arrows I will be hunting with, and set them up with the broadhead I will be using, along with the Glory nock. With all that, no doubt I'll have to fine tune everything to have my hunting arrows hit exactly where I aim out to 30 yards, my self imposed limit for deer hunting. Once set up with broadhead and ready to hunt, I only shoot one arrow at a time. Just like hunting. Over and over. Seeing the flight path of the arrow will be pretty cool for hunting and practice I think? Something I've been thinking of trying for quite some time now. Getting this bow from you has been a total joy to me. I love shooting it!

New bows sure are fun! Especially when it's been a long time since you've had a new one! Trying new stuff on them and with them, certainly does build excitement and confidence leading into archery season. Best of luck to ya getting yours bloody this season!

EHG has occurred in NY. About eight - ten years ago in Voorheesville WMU 4-J there were about 80 deer affected. That is just down the mountain from our property.

Were you using the Glory nocks or a different brand?

To turn off the Glory Nocks after shooting, you just place the nock back on the bowstring, then simply press the button on the side, remove arrow, and it's off?? Says no tools needed? I'll see if it's really that easy once I shoot them.

I've run both of those through my Axis, and they both shot well. The trigger spring certainly is a big improvement for accuracy. Try some Federal Premium ammo too. Looking forward to your range results Jay!

Good luck with your research. I'm certain you will find something that fits exactly what your needs are. I would suggest though, that with a growing family, the four door option on whatever you decide.

Yes sir, after I bought them, I did research them, and that is exactly what I found too. Hoping to put them on this week and shoot, to see how they work for me. Want to narrow down what arrows I'll be hunting with as well. Then go from field points to broadheads, for practice until the opener on October 1st. Will certainly update this thread to give my opinion on the Glory nock. Even if I don't have anything to compare them to. With this new to me bow, I'm trying some different things this year. Drop away rest, multi pin sight, dual cam, lighted nocks, perhaps going back to NAP Thunderheads from Muzzy. It is light years ahead of my 19 year old Mathews! So after having gone through the bow, top to bottom over the weekend, and shooting last night, I haven't looked forward to a bow opener this much in years!! After shoulder surgery, I felt like my bow hunting days were about over. With this bow I can shoot more, with less pain, and It's made a huge difference for me. So perhaps I will kill a deer with a bow again?? moog has drawn fist blood with it. But I'm hoping not last.

Got coyote pic's??

Great looking pup! I know you will have many hunts and happy years together.

Happy Birthday!

While in Browns Archery shop yesterday, I asked about lighted nocks. I have never used them before. He had Luminocks and a couple of other brands, but told me "use these Glory Nocks, I think they are awesome" so I bought a pack. I will give my opinion after target shooting and hopefully killing a deer with them. Supposed to be lighter, brighter, and easier to turn off. Anyone out there use them?

I was in Browns Archery(I bough a Martin Lynx from the original owner back in the 80s) yesterday having some work done on my Obsession Phoenix. Something just seemed a bit off to me. Was in there almost three hours, going through the bow, axel to axle with the owner Rick. A great place to do business and a great guy! Nothing major, just some minor adjustments on the drop rest string, added a longer string loop, sight alignment and peep adjustment. Bumped up the poundage from 48 to 52lbs. Decided to go back to 400 spine arrows from the 350. (I have plenty of both) Paper tuned it, and it's perfect. He really took care of me big time. 100% confidence in this bow now getting ready for bow season. Any of you capital region guys looking for a great bow/pro shop give Browns a try. I think you'll like the service there. I know I did.

Still not giving up my Nosler BT's. They just work too good. Dead right there equals no tracking. Most times the highly expanded bullet is recovered from the off side of the deer.

Great pic's. Great looking bucks! Jeez, if you are ever looking for an old, stinky, balding, fat guy as a back up hunter, I'm your guy! And I can cook and clean too!...... Best of luck out there this season Jerry!

After every other mowing, I jack up the front of the tractor and use a two inch wide putty knife to scrape off the underside of the deck. Takes five minutes. Also clean off any grass from the top around the belts. After the last mowing of the year, I remove the deck, scrape it clean and apply the used motor oil, after changing, with a brush. Then store it upright next to the tractor in the garage. Learned to do this from an old guy when I was a youngster. Never had a mowing deck rot or rust out. The tractor would be used up before the deck. Usually after fifteen years or more. For many years I was cutting eight acres weekly at the lake property.

Happy Birthday!! Good luck with the elk tag draw!

Way to go Andrew! Great job. You really did us all proud! To give back, make a difference, and create a nice memory for someone, is truly what being a sportsman is all about. My hat is off to you sir.

Light that boat up with smiles Andrew!

I have a few spots that do not get hunted until after November 1st.

Great team work!!! Thumbs up to Bob....again!!! Had a similar bridge put in at the lake property, a few years ago. Now the deer use it too!! And yes sir, your hunting just got a bunch easier my friend! Who did all the heavy lifting? Did you have Bob do that too???.....................grin

Happy Birthday Larry! Enjoy your special day sir!! X-2!
