The repellant in the Thermacell is derived from the crysanthemum flower and (I’m told) harmless. I live in Northern Ontario, Canada and my family outfits bear hunts.

You’ve never seen blackflies until you’ve tried to skin a bear in Northern Ontario in early June. Thermacells work !!!

I’m no expert, in fact I’ve only been shooting traditional for about 6 months now but in that 6 months I’ve gone from shooting all over the place to shooting squirrels and rabbits on a regular basis. The biggest reason for this is a fellow named Rick Welch. His shooting method and teachings are awesome. Search on-line and find everything you can from Rick Welch and his instinctive shooting method.

Back quivers are great for practice or 3-D shoots but for hunting, I like a tube quiver.Its quiet, its comfortable and it takes minimal movement to pull another arrow if you need one. I also don’t like shooting with a quiver on my bow so the tube works well for me.

Hi there I shoot almost exactly that combo with my 40# Martin X-200. GT expedition hunter, 11gr insert, 5″ feathers,145gr bear razor head. They fly perfectly from my bow. Only difference is I draw to 30.5 so my real weight is more like 46# but I’m sure you will have great success with these arrows AND it will be a LONG, LONG TIME before you break one.
