Some people say they raise their knock set a bit when they convert to 3 under but my bows shoot the same. I agree that the tiller in not a problem. Could be for me that I have never put much pressure on 3rd finger anyway so no problem there. I swapped a few months ago and I’m shooting better. Good luck, good shootin’:lol:

David,”the two 12-hours drives there and back, well, I get tired of singing to myself”. Takes that long? 😀 “Try Amarillo By Morning”:D. That’ll keep you in good company. 😀

I once received a plastic bag with a cover sheet only within it and TB was kind enough to replace the magazine for me. The bag was torn open so I hope somebody enjoyed the magazine as much as I do. 😀

Yeah Wayne, I see snow is bad in places. We’re about to blow away and again for the next few days with cold. You guys be careful. It’s a deadly storm. Thx about pic.

Gonna go look for that guy in the morning but 40 mph winds out of the arctic will probably have everything holed up. I gotta go kinda that way before the morning is over so might as well go take a look around.

At least he got close enough to my camera.

But not to me and my bow. I was up on the hill to the right but I couldn’t see him in the fog. I was too far up the hill anyway if I could’ve seen him. This is my honey hole that I keep a camera in all the time. One of those deer gathering points as the do their thing. I rarely ever set up in it. I enjoy the pictures I get. Now if he goes about 50 yds. up the hill to right on the trail, story changes.

If after your first trip out stumping with your new shiny dozen custom shafts they no longer add up to 12.

You then have an R2 dozen, 10-11???

Come late summer you’re looking for places with hair to shave since you’ve shaved it all off you arms while sharpening broadheads. 😉

A cool adventure you shared.

Then, no matter what we say and think, there’s times when the heebee geebees still hit. Like right now. I told my wife, with 4 days left of season, and the last two are going to have howling, cold north winds, that I was through for the season. Now here I’m here sitting with my gear scattered all over the garage wondering what’s wrong with me and kicking my butt cause I didn’t go. I’ve been up since 3. Arghhhh!!! I’m going in the morning dang it.

“I hate waking up to see it’s light outside . No matter if I’m going hunting or not , I have always enjoyed watching the transition from dark to light” . Me also. I couldn’t tell you the last time I woke up and the sun was up already except for a period of time last spring after my hernia surgery. That doesn’t count:D Then I didn’t much care.

I love the changing of the guard!!!

I sat as the sun was coming up the other day and watched six does and two young bucks establishing their hierarchy. That one old doe is a real old bitty! She ran everybody off then looked funny as hell when she suddenly realized “Hey, where’d everybody go?” She flicked her tail and took off after them.
