    Wow, this forum provider REALLY doesn't want people to use it, does it?

    Exactly. And a quick look at the other hunting site shows many ad’s one has to fish thru. Although the full page every time is different for sure. 

    A quick look???

    If you are taking enough 'quick looks', which I'm sure you are, you may as well just sign up Mayor!!

    All are welcome! Even you!

    I get a full screen ad every time I stop by here too.

    How do you hold your release?

    I shoot right-handed and hold my release with my thumb to the left against my right-side jawbone.  I press the trigger with my right index finger.

    I see some archers that hold their hand upside down with their thumb on the bottom and the back of their hand against their cheek.

    I cannot shoot a bow like that and wonder why some archers do.  Is there some advantage to it?

     

    I started out shooting trad bows, and shot with my fingers using a glove. After switching to a compound, I still shot with fingers for many years. When I went to a release in the 90's I learned just like you do. Right hand thumb up, palm facing in, anchored to my jaw, just below my ear. I've tried the other way with my palm facing out. But never could get comfortable with it.

    The final Bill was never brought to the floor for a final vote. So no changes made again this year. Typical NYS BS! The founder of NYS Crossbow Coalition, Rick McDermott and his wife were recently, tragically killed in an automobile wreck. So not sure from this point who will carry the banner, to lobby for changes in Albany. I know some people behind the scenes in the CC. And they are still sorting through all the stuff that Rick was working on. But as of right now, no one has made the step to fill the huge void Rick left behind.

    I'll bet that those old Bear razor heads have killed more deer than any other head ever manufactured and sold. I still have a bunch of them and every-so-often I pull them out and kill a deer with them. I also have a wad of aluminum shafting and assembled arrows that is so big a bundle that I cannot get both hands around them. They are still killing deer.

    Yeah, I went through the stage of buying everything that came out in archery equipment and go-fasters. I have a wall full of bows that were quite high end at the time of purchase. Yes, I bought into the speed freak-ism.

    Now, I have what I have, and am no longer trying to buy success. A little late in learning that lesson, but I have been taking deer with the same bow for the past 24 years. My Mathews MQ-32. And you know what?..... the deer these days are just as dead as the ones that I got back when I started with my recurves.......lol.

    I too still have the MQ-32!! Bought mine in 2000, so 23 years old now. Still shoots just fine. I may have to take it out again this year!!

    For bowhunting, I don't like any expandable broadhead. I stick to the fixed blade heads. Like my Muzzy MX4. Never have to worry if they will open up, or have blades pre-deploy. I stick with what works for me.

    Yeah because so called adults find it necessary to say childish shit. Glad you still fit that mold. Notice how peaceful it is around these parts now that only adults post on here anymore?  Point Proven!!

    Nice to see you still haven't changed either mayor.

    There is absolutely no competition between sites. It is what it is. Everyone can come and go as they please. I visit both. Some great folks here and there. Have no issues with anyone. Well...............maybe Mayor McCheese. But some things will always remain the same.

    I agree my brother has it and its not good. 

     

    As AL said, better safe than sorry my friend. The Dox is good insurance medicine. You have a good doctor. 

    My hunting partner has found ticks on him twice this winter! This mild winter will increase the tick population. Be vigilant out there checking for the nasty things. And using Permethrine helps alot.
