Agreed on everything. Just make sure to investigate any sound, even if you think a cow is making the noise. I lost an opportunity at a 5 X 5 years back that was walking behind my tree, I thought it was a calf heading towards his mama! Lesson learned!!

...gone to the stand, arrow on the rest, bow in the holder, quiver & pack hanging and out of the way, ready for the hunt to begin and you realize your release is not on your wrist!! Grrrr, you make a mad dash to your vehicle and can't find it anywhere!!! Thankfully I still had one of my old...

Once, quite a few years ago now. I was sitting in a tree on a fenceline when over the hill came a mature buck chasing a doe. The doe ran around a cedar tree and kept the cedar between her and the buck. They were about 30 yards from me. It was almost like the buck was irritated that she wouldn't...

Lanny, I know there's a local archery club that's always looking for new members, PM me if your interested.

I heard someone on here mention before about searching the internet for videos on the subject of making them. Use the search feature on this site because I remember a lengthy discussion on this subject and constrictor ropes for steps. I think this was one of the sites that was discussed for...

My best buck, to date, although not a giant. Split G2 on the right beam which gives him 6 on the right and 5 on the left. My setup was about 30 yards inside a patch of timber bordering a pond and a grass pasture with another patch of timber about 70 yards to the north. Got settled in the stand...

Thanks for the info. I actully found a pdf on making a whoopie sling for a hammock that showed the short bury after I posted the question. Lots of possibilites!! I'm going to get some rope and start practicing!

This is very interesting to me and I can think of multiple uses for the "constricotor". Everything in Ironwoods picture (the pic with the completed constrictor rope) makes sense except one thing: What is a "short bury" used on the ends. I could find nothing online and I'm a little puzzled as to...

Dan Quillian Take-Down Recurve Bow 60# 62" serial # QP4B1539 $300.00 Used, but in great shape. Pictures upon request. I don't shoot recurves so I had a friend shoot it. He said it shoots quiet and fast but may be a little too much draw weight for a beginner. PM or email at...

Just curious of everyone's complete arrow weight, bow and your FPS with hunting conditions.
