Nice job! 🙂

Agree on all counts.

Very nice! Nothing like a new bow. I’m no expert, but I’d be inclined to think the 91-116 is more likely the bowyers way of formatting the serial number rather than being the 91st of 116 made. Just a shot in the dark though.

I’m so used to keeping my hands up and off the grass and off of the trees when I’m scouting/hunting from my dad drilling it into my head when I was a kid, that I find myself doing it even when I’m just on a casual hike.

I’m holding out until Gene and Barry Wensel release their much anticipated workout program. Hopefully it’ll be available on Bluray, as none of us will want to miss out on any of the nuanced details that would surely be missed via the old and obsolete DVD format.

Kidding 🙂

It’s actually the only one I subscribe to as well.

Eh, it’s an OK magazine.

Personally, I don’t use scents at all. I’ve always loathed the idea. It just seems to be the lazy way out, which is ironic because I am lazy. 😆

Nice job Wildschwein!

Steve Graf wrote: I was always told in safety class never to wear anything around my neck that could take more than 10 pounds before breaking. Our ID badges had a breakaway lanyard which was a piece of cord with the 2 ends affixed with one of those slip-tight spring things that hold a bag’s drawstring closed. Looks like the knot might slip pretty easy.

I do a lot of tree stand hunting, so that’s why I am wondering.

Excellent point to consider Steve!

How’s that for the next best thing, Robin? 😆

That makes two of us! But, then again, you’re a Polar Bear…how would you know?!

Calf hair wears off too quickly for my liking. When using a tab, I used cordovan and nothing else. That stuff lasts forever!
