Great read! That story could have easily been told by any one of a thousand hunters I'm sure; one thing I'll never forget from my first archery kill was the sound of the arrows impact, that sharp *CRACK* as the arrow found it's mark....good times. Heck I didn't get my first kill until I was, let's s...

I've used real antlers a few times with no luck, not even any birds would come around. I've read the books, seen the lessons but I came to the conclusion rattlin' is an art form of which I am not a student......I mean I REALLY suck at it. I did have an opportunity to watch the rare mixed whitetail h...

.... The confidence level I have with the Pheonix just allows me the "possibility" of a longer shot. :) Is that so wrong? No it's not. If you get an extra 10 yards because of your comfort level it's no different than the choice for me to go recurve over compound. I can't hit the bull with...

I thought it might've been Firefox causing a problem for me but I can't see the images even with explorer - content protected by owner message appears

I couldn't agree more.

I'm typical of the others here; 30 yards is my personal limit & 20 yards or less is preferable (especially with this new bow). If conditions are perfect & the deer is cooperating you can kill them out to 70 - 80 yards if you're skill level is such that you can reliably hit the bull at that r...

Without knowing what the county office requires it'd be hard to recommend anything. BUUuuuut with that said; you're a seemingly intelligent fella....couldn't you get some graph paper & sketch out a design? Since a pole barn is basically just a frame with sheet metal covering it should be easy en...

You guys sure now how to spend the day.....I'm jealous.

Shot it some more & it is accurate but I'm not sure if it's any more accurate than my old PSE was. Unfortunately I'd get the police called on me for firing it at my home in town; apparently most of you don't have that problem (lucky dogs). To people who complain about how loud this bow is....you...

There is no if its true, it is as I said true, dont know know why you have to keep talking about it, its nothing to you anyway, & thats all I have to say about the matter, I have better things to do with my time. Because it's an open forum & I felt like saying congrats to those in Alabama w...

Always double check for yourself with the people who will be issuing the tickets - that said; it's a win for you folks in Alabama if it's true, congratulations! I can't find anything official (state of Alabama posted) on their site & I have no inclination to call but there are a few forums with ...

As to the question about plans, books etc. All I can advise is....did you ever build a treehouse/clubhouse as a boy? Same principle here; if you can build a box & roof it, you can build a hunting stand. A little advice from my own experiences - Pitch the roof, if not it will pool water eventuall...

You'll find this like so many other things is a personal preference; I liked to use a diamond hone from a clamp on/angle setting kit like a lansky sharpening kit. Or just buy new ones, I've never found a new broadhead that wasn't sharp enough to drop the deer I shot but I always used either muzzy or...

Looks like a great time, good food, good company & good conversation.
