My new DIY Shooting stick

I've been a bit gimpy lately as I'm recovering from a bad ankle sprain, which has meant clawing at the walls. I was on crutches for a few days, and one day I was looking askance at the infernal devices and it hit me: the perfect shooting stick! I've had a habit of buying up old aluminum canes, crutc...

Re: Rail lube or silicone clean

.....I need one of our engineers to respond to this very technical question: :eusa-think: .....does the advantage of using silicone spray make the deer deader? :wtf: :eusa-think: :eh: If so I guess I must change from not putting silicone on the rail to putting silicone on the rail....as we all know...

Re: Vanilla killer

Interesting. I'll give this a try on axis deer and let you know if they like it, too. How long does it last? Do you apply it right before going into the stand, or can you put it out several hours before?

Re: WE NEED THE SEASONS TO BE OPEN...

This is why everyone should own at least two bows. It's what I tell myself, anyway, as I plot out how I'm going to finance a third…

Re: Honest review BD360

Thanks for that. I've been eyeing it myself, though not in the budget this year. Sorry about the limb problem. I've had them, oddly, with my M330, which is supposed to be the most stable bow. Thank goodness for the amazing customer service.

Thanks for sharing your story. Must have been really tempting with that buck. I hope he comes back around! Congrats on the doe!

Re: Making good choices

Lest anyone should think I'm trying to be holier-than-thou, here's a partial list of bad hunting choices I've made, mostly in the first year of hunting: 1. Buying cheap, lousy equipment to start out. Underpowered, unreliable and just plain lousy. 2. Not doing more to find someone to answer questions...

Re: Making good choices

Isn’t it funny how your perspective changes as we get older :?: Years ago I would have probably already taken a shot in that position but now like you it doesn’t bother me to let one walk. When I was a young man I just wanted to kill a deer, any deer. Then to be considered a good hunter it was abou...

Re: Making good choices

I should also say that what I mean by less-than-optimal doesn't encompass experimental. What I mean is shots taken at the edge of my comfort zone, but not beyond it. I've also noticed that the longer I've been at this, the less I find I need to. I find that part of getting better at hunting is learn...

Making good choices

I was feeling restless in the wee hours this morning, so rather than continue to disturb my wife and cat with my tossing and turning, I decided to head up to the hunting blind. I got up there, got my Micro 335 cocked and ready, did the necessary scratching, yawning, etc. to settle in, and as soon as...
