I have a terrible time with blood trails, being red-green color blind;; makes me be really careful about my shot and have to go home and get my dog- he is 100%; Just lost him after 18 years and had a rough time this season.

Wood just goes with a traditional bow in my old mind, have always worked well for me . this year tried some carbons got one deer with the carbon and one with the wood; after words felt cheated out of the carbon shot deet; the wood just makes it for me

I think too many people tend to get over bowed,-in the past, me included. Took me a long time to learn. A fiend that I hunt with in the Blue Ridge Mtns , an excellent hunter but not a bow hunter has shot/hunted bow seasons with me because a traditional bow is all I hunt with. I had given him some of my old bows and he never shot anything nor kept much interest in practicing. When I came across a 48# recurve which I gave him, the first year he shot 5 deer and a turkey with it. I had him over bowed and he enjoys the new bow and has proven that he can shoot it well. As far as the 45# draw weight- a kid in the next town was sat down in a creek bottom with a 25# bow and given one “real arrow” while his father and the rest of the guys went deep into the woods for some “real” hunting. When they came back late morning to pick him up , to their surprise he had a massive 6 point waiting for them.

I agree, but the quiver that I was talking about (Jacks traditional archery “Chief”) rides like the GFA but better for stumping/ 3-D since its easier to get the arrows back into it-do not have to re-clip them in the gripper. I do find the GFA design by far the best for hunting.I think 3-rivers carries it as the HH side quiver
Sort of a cross between a back quiver and a GFA- does not seen to hang brush any more than the GFA design. The one I have is really well made- there is a picture in TJ’s traditional bow hunters hand book

I like the GFA type best for hunting and the Jacks traditional archery “Chief” best for stumping or small game hunting- this thing is worth looking into I have been fighting quivers all of my bow shooting life and these seem to have solved my problems-can not stand the bow quiver-have tried just about everyone, though convient the balance issue and the mass in front of my face is just too annoying and over rides the convienence
