    Questions about saddles and longer traditional bows

    Has never been an issue. Two years ago is when I finally got my first platform. I still prefer a ROS. As for the last question.....shoot'em inside 5 hours. I'm not spending 10 hrs in a tree. Promise.

    Places to get 'trial' shafts and arrows

    Safari Tuff just released a shaft and component system. You can order anything individually.

    Can we start a communal turkey feathers collection/market thread?

    Make sure you wear a TIGHT fitting mask. Feather dust will destroy your lungs. Any type of straight clamp can hold the feather....think of a long hinge....that is what is on my grinder, mounted on a sliding rail.

    Can we start a communal turkey feathers collection/market thread?

    I'm not always happy with the edge left by the burner. Too slow and you burn too deep, too fast and you can fold the feather and get it a touch uneven. It's probably just me, but I find it easier to just chop and stick. My feather burner is an old classic though so I'll never part with it.

    I use a Jo Jan jig. I chop more feathers than I burn. They seem to come out a little cleaner. At least for me.

    Does anyone just use the ring of step?

    I rarely sit. I had 14k steps on Saturday, 18k on Sunday. Yesterday I worked in the office all day and still had 10.5.....lol

    2024 Traditional events roll-call

    I assume so. Good spot for how to's and shoot info. They've lost me over the years though. Big, big egos.

    Does anyone just use the ring of step?

    I will admit that the OCB is lighter, but I'm still not sure I prefer it over a good ratchet strap....yet. Although I mentioned climbing down to dress, I never feel it is necessary.

    Deer and water

    I've seen hooves that appeared to have never touched a solid surface. Long and curled. Water is pretty prevalent around here. That does not mean a water hole in the middle of a large forested area won't be productive. No matter what it is....food, water, cover, etc......the name of the...

    Does anyone just use the ring of step?

    I would say just climb down, but you can't do that with certain climbing methods. I go back and forth. Mostly just a ROS. That's how I started 20+ years ago.

    Target bucks

    I think I'll take a ride today. I need to get into the woods. Time to track one down somewhere I haven't taken a good one. Turkey hunters will be out next week.
