i was just relooking at all the pics,lots of nice looking deer there..
it will be a hard call for the judges on a few of them

For those who are not aware we are all judges. Read the first page of the '08 Trophy Room thread.

I have a pair and they are slippery in the snow and collect moisture but they are cheap!

Not having anything there does not seem to make a difference.

They are supposed to be served onto the string where the STS touches.

If you have the patience Ajax is the best. If you use alcohol use 99%. Acetone should be applied on a rag but be quick because it will eventually break down the bond between the carbon fibers if let on too long or too much used on the rag.

Any of the "instant" glues like Goat Tough can be used on all parts of the arrow. But stick with gels (like Goat Tough).

I thought I should add that if you really understood deer completely hunting would be too easy and this would all get way too boring. It would be called killing not hunting at that point.

If they were predictable they wouldn't have survived so well and they'd all be killed off by now. I don't believe that deer care that much about human urine. I baited the day before yesterday and had a wiz about 15 yards away and covered the spot with snow. Today I saw the tracks on top of the spot ...

I like hearing that Jim!

If you don't have dovetails then tell Danny and he'll send a bracket with a screw-on base.

Congratulations!

I'm always entertained by your ability to compose a picture! Congratulations RJ!

My Apple saw works at 5,000 rpm and does a fine job of cutting both kinds of shafts. I didn't want the higher speed saw because it scares me! One hint in using an arrow saw. When you finish your cut rotate the shaft a few turns while maintaining pressure away from the blade before pulling the shaft ...

No Danny's mount goes on to the front sight dovetail of the riser. If you like it you should use crazy glue or loctite in the dovetail so it won't work loose.
