Man,again,that is amazing. I find it very interesting to hear this real world experience. Good for you for making rhe low pound setup work for you.

The tehtrd phantom is a one size fits most. From a 26" waist to 40 or 42. So unless you are at the edge of that it doesn't matter what you wear. Other saddles are more size specific,they dont fit that wide of a range of sizes. I think you would only change one size by going from shorts to insulated pants.

Did i read that right? you are shooting mechanicals with a 45# bow and have not lost a deer with that setup? That is amazing. Generally people dont recommend mechanicals if you shoot under 60#. What DL are you?

Hello all! Learning to Bow/Saddle Hunt out of NYC lol
BowmanMike replied to ChrisW74's topic in Introductions
I also do DRT climbing and i use my predator platform as a one stick with two aiders. And then i can rappel down with the rope. I am still learning too and hope to get on a good buck this year. -

You seem clueless to me. How can you think burning coal and oil for well over 200 years that has been underground for millions of years would have no effect on the environment? -

Trump has done nothing to address climate change. Scrapped the clean air act,supports coal and oil. More of the same. The U.S. is the biggest polluter per capita in the world. It would behoove us to become a leader in alternative energy and set an example,then we would be in a position to address it in other countries. Trump withdrew from the world climate summits. -

And that is exactly why not much meaningful progress has been made. Everyone is concerned about their little day to day. If you think the word is still out on climate change I dont know how to have a discussion. Just jave a look around. The hottest years on the world have been all in the last ten years. The record breaking wildfires are a result of changing patterns. The hurricanes breaking records. If we wait to make meanigful change muchblonger it will be too late. Natures systems are very tolerant of being messed with up to a point,and almost all scientist agree that we are approaching the point of no return fast. Once things get really bad this pandemic will seem tame,my guess the next 20 years will be enough to proove that to everyone. I dont understand why people are afraid to shift priorities,there are enormous economic possibilities in making the world sustainable. We have the knowledge but not the will. It's too bad,since the climate crisis will affect everyone,rich or poor,republican or democrat,white or brown. Thinking about this makes me happy i dont have children because they would be affected for so much more of their life than I will be. That is actually a big reason I dont have kids. World population is another,which also is an enormous challenge in its own right. Ok,one cant dwell on this or I would want to bury my head in the hot sand too,so i choose to focus on hunting! -

Guys,seriously,what are you so afraid of? If an asshat like trump who clearly doesnt give a f@#k about the law can only do this much damage,how much could Kamala do? That is if she ever was to replace Biden ? You guys swallow the fox bullshit like it is the truth. Biden is only a few years older than Trump. Trump is a the top of his game and Biden demented? Give me a break. I like anyone for president who promotes growth in the country besides just economic growth and unifies people instead if dividing them. We got bigger fish to fry than being scared of gun right changes and abortion. This planet will go to shit fast if we dont change things drastically. If we keep our heads in the sand our asses will burn. -

You want me to? How would i be able to make you see the light then? We can disagree but still live in the same country,preferably a democracy. -

I am firmly in the nevertrumper camp. Trump does not strike me as a masterful debater himself. -
You actually get more stability shooting from the saddle because you have more support. You lean into the saddle and also have your feet on the small platform,three points of contact vs. two as in your feet. My only problem was i had to check the bubble on my sight as i wanted to cant my bow and that would affect my left to right grouping since i shoot a drop away rest. Once i made sure to check i was good. I am excited to not have to go and set up stands in the woods before the season. My buddy is doing that now which i think is late in the game. I will not let the deer know i am coming. I dont have problems with the hip pinch either but i got the phantom,maybe that's a little better that way. I have no regrets getting into this and it has added a new level of excitement for the season,as if i really needed that,haha.

I don't aim to offend anyone,but look at some of the jobs some legal and/or illegal immigrants are holding. Farm work,meat packing plants and others. You couldn't get most white folks to last one week or maybe a day there,especially for that pay. And all this to keep food cheap and profitable at the same time. Who is creating this situation in the first place? -

why do you kee leaving me out? I feel dissed. -
Our soldiers are Losers
BowmanMike replied to Chef's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
Probably,because you could pay the illegals less and they work harder. What is trump promising on his platform for four more years? The worlds greatest economy? More divisiveness? More people taken into unmarked vans by umarked agents? Russia doesn't even have to bother to interfere in this election,Donny is doing just fine on his own. -

What i think is funny that you fellas think the BLM protesters should be held responsible for some bad apples rioting. What about gun manufacturers being responsible for mass shootings? That is the same thing whe you lump it all together. I am excited about the democratic platform because they are not ignoring climate change. If you do that you live under a rock,but not for long... -
Hello all! Learning to Bow/Saddle Hunt out of NYC lol
BowmanMike replied to ChrisW74's topic in Introductions
Welcome from central NY. I would take you out if you are ever up in these parts,Cooperstown area. I have been hunting for ten years or so and this will be my first in the saddle and on public land. Hang in there,it takes a while to figure things out and then a long while to get really good. -
Happy birthday! Did you get to swing in the saddle?

You must not listen to Trump much. Herd mentality will prevail over coronavirus. -

Biden would make my life better because i wouldn't have to read about trumps blunders or listen to him speak. That alone deserves my vote. -

Double ribs should not stop a mechanical or fixed head. There is something going on. What is your Front of center? Is your arrow high grains per inch? over 10?

Grampy,who do you think socialists suport more? Billionaires or working people? Who does trump care about? -
I just called them and they said it shipped out but could not say when. They told me i can have it printed out at an issuing agent free of charge.

Is anyone still waiting for their tags? I bought mine online on the 10th of august and nothing yet...I was not worried,but the season is getting closer.
