varizone scope

I was wondering...is the varizone weather proof? Can I use it in the rain or is it going to be ruined?

Another sling question...if I may...

Speaking of slings...how do you carry it with the quiver mounted to the stock as well? I found that I had my arm riding on the bolt - actually pushed it out of the quiver head...is there a better way to sling the crossbow?

securing the camera

You could also take a wire mesh - heavy guage chicken wire, wrap the unit in that, and then snake a cable through the mesh and around the tree. Cheap, and would keep the hinest honest...another option is to mount it high on a bracket - but that limits the field of view...buddy did that and when he w...

Doe w/Fawn

I passed up two does this morning - both with two fawns. First came under my stand right at legal light - I had just settled in and since this was the first day on a new piece of property...I wanted to wait and see what the morning would bring and to see how the deer were moving. After seeing 5 buck...

All - season is approaching and I have been practicing...I am having much more difficulty holding steady with the crossbow than I have ever had with guns and my bow...I know the trigger pull is way different and I am still getting used to it...and I am thinking it is just a different weighted item, ...

Virginia season...
