      You can get a fairly large chunk of pure beeswax at Hobby Lobby. It is in the candle making sectio.

        My aging joints has forced me to adopt a lot of the ultralight backpacking methods. One of which is a very lightweight stove that you make yourself. Called by many names, mostly beer-can stoves, these are easy to make and easy to find fuel for. I prefer using denatured alcohol, but HEET works just as well.

        Detailed instructions on making your own can be found here:

        Once you get it going, it only takes 2 or 3 minutes to get a pot of water boiling.

          Can you post some pics? This sounds like a great idea, and my favorite price 🙂

            Arkansas has a pretty long season. Opened May 15th this year and runs to Feb 28th, 2014. Daily limit is 12. Possession limit is 48. With 2 National Forests, there are lot’s of opportunities to find bushy tails. Ouachita National Forest and Ozark National Forest are great areas, lot’s of open camping and hunting opportunities.

              I’m no expert either, but in an effort to save $$$’s, I’ve found that flat washers behind standard field points work very well.

                  Yes, I tuck my pants in. Seems like my pants leg hems get caught on everything if I don’t tuck them. These are the only boots I wear anymore for hunting.

                    LL Bean is the way to go. Wear them year round (uninsulated of course) in Southern Arkansas. Amazing how much quieter they are in the woods, even heavy fall leaves.

                      I’m no expert by any means, but the expert at the local bow shop showed me how to wrap a rubber band around the bottom tip, and then just let the top loop slide down the bow when unstrung.

                      I’ve looked at the pics on tradgang, doesn’t look like it would be too difficult to make. I may play around with this and see what I can work up. Have less than a week before opening morning though 😀

                          Troy,

                          I would like to throw in Bralyn Maynard. He’s an 8 yr old boy, good friend of ours, that loves anything outdoors. Currently, his dad has him a youth compound bow that he enjoys shooting. I would like to give him a chance to come over to the fun side of Trad. He has a new little brother, Jacob, a 2 yr old just adopted from S. Korea, to pass the bow onto.

                          Thanks,

                          Wendell Allen (aka woodchuck)

                            Tractor Supply Company carries camo Coban for use on horses. Get 4 4″ rolls for around $7. More than enough for wrapping several bows. Stickes very well to itself, leaves no residue on limbs, and does not affect shooting. Drawback is the smell, not sure why this smells so bad, but leave it outside (under cover of course) for a few days and the smell goes away. Here’s the link :http://www.tractorsupply.com/powerflex-reg-value-pack-woodland-camo-pack-of-4-1014732

                            If you don’t have a tractor supply around, might check similar type stores

                              One of the advantages of the electronic version, I’ve already had the pleasure of reading the article. Great article, Jody!!! Looking forward to more in the future.

                                Hey Justin, just curious where you ordered online. I’m looking more for mid-weight to light-weight. Doesn’t really get “that cold” here in Arkansas

                                  Nice bow, looks like it would fit my hands perfect 🙂
