The trail, if you could call it a trail, followed a long rising bench above the river. The rain had stopped but everything was drippy wet and it seemed that each disturbed drop had managed to find its way into my hip waders. Cresting a small rise I spotted the main section of [...]
Are you are tired of trying to keep track of your shooting tab? Here is a little trick that I use. Sew a thin, 6-inch piece of Velcro to the top portion of the finger hole on the tab. When you are finished shooting, fasten the Velcro around an arrow in your bow [...]

Since it's whitetail season and a lot of us are hunting from trees, do you ever wonder why it's so easy to shoot too high from a treestand? Sure, bucks do jump the string sometimes, and their first movement is downward, but 3-D targets don't move and most of us tend to shoot [...]
This is a real simple belt mounted bow holder made with a length of cord, three overhand knots and a button made of wood, antler, bone or whatever. It may be useful for glassing while hunting rough terrain or still hunting where the bow can be kept within easy reach to prevent damage [...]
