If you hunt from the same spot most of the time; here's what you can do. Get a tape measure, or a rangefinder if you have one; and measure 10yard, 20yard, 30yard, and 40yard rings around your regular tree. mark the distances with coloured stakes, or with a shot of coloured spray paint on surrounding...

Now you just need to wire up a remote rangefinder activator button

BY FAR the best part of that movie is the fact the deer doesn't come back down.

It sounds like you have carpal tunnel syndrome. There is a band of "tissue" surrounding the wrist called the flexor retinaculum? and when it gets overused from certain movements(ie, blacksmithing) it starts to compress the nerves in the wrist which leads to numbness in the hands. I think ...

Could be 3 Reasons. 1) You are pinching off blood supply, leading to a pins/needles feeling. could be a widespread feeling throughout the hand, as most of the veins/arteries serve most of the flesh within the hand. 2) Pressure on a nerve leading to temporary loss of feeling. There are main 2 nerves ...

Your question is too vague. A lot of your answer is up to your personal preference. Here is the best I can break it down for you. Generally speaking; your bow will be quieter while shooting aluminum bolts, because the average aluminum bolt weighs more than the average carbon bolt. Heavier bolts less...

What kind of inserts do you have on there? nocks? To achieve 330FPS, you need to have the factory FFF String on, and a bolt that weighs 350Grains. Putting on the Boo String may account for 5-8FPS, but I bet your bolt also weighs more than 350Grains. My Max (with FFF) shoots Gold Laser IIs (With Bras...

Went Camping this weekend. Saw 8 moose! (Picture Heavy!!)

So Sheena, Richard and I had nothing to do this weekend, and decided to go camping at Tea Lake, in Algonquin. it was COLD, and Raining, but it was still an awesome weekend. We took a pretty long nature hike, and saw some moose. Driving up before getting cold, and wet http://img213.imageshack.us/img2...

not breaking. "Breaking in" maybe. The more you twist the string, the closer to the limbs the string WILL sit. with a new string though.... over time, as the string breaks in.... it will start creeping away from the limbs. tighten 'er up. leave 'er over night..... heck leave her for a week...

I LOVE my polecat bipod. goes from kneeling to standing height. great for blinds. You install a quick detach swivel where the strap connects, and that's it! when you want the bipod, you just drop the quick connect into the bipod, it clicks in, and you're ready for rock solid shooting. a firm tug, an...
