    Bow Hoist

    Here is another retractable. I have(had) one. I loaned it to a friend several years ago and haven't seen it since but that's okay. He also has a good Doinker stab of mine. This one is a little smaller than the Doyle retractable. Here is a link and a pic...

    Carrying your saddle/in out

    I have some suspenders as well and it makes it possible to wear the saddle in without it wanting to fall down. I have an Overwatch Transformer, and it is difficult to keep up without suspenders. I also have a backpack the I can carry my saddle in if I don't want to wear it in.

    Why oh why?

    Just remember, deer in the rear-view mirror appear closer than they are. :anguished:

    Cp400 rocker/ woodruff key

    If those CP rockers are like the Ravin rockers, then any local Ravin dealer will have those rockers in stock. I have built quite a few Ravin string/cables over the last few years. Guys shoot them until the cable blow and then they lose the rockers. I just go to the local shop and pick up some...

    Bow strings. Do we have the wrong mindset by using target bow strings for our hunting bows?

    From what I understand, the B55 is from a lower stretch and faster poly than the B50 was made from.

    New Kentucky Member

    Welcome from Missouri. I use the one-stick climbing method and repel down. It is light and mobile setup. But you have to be mindful of every piece of equipment that you carry as it will add up in weight quite fast. I try to stay at 10 to 15 pounds. Just a cheap backpack (not necessary) can...

    Crossbow Range

    Even though modern xbows are faster than modern compounds, they are also quite a bit louder. That can pose a problem at longer distances if the deer react to the sound of the shot. So, the shooting distance will vary depending on how calm the deer are.

    Dumbest thing you’ve ever done hunting

    I bow hunt with a moveable single pin sight. Several years ago, I was practicing one evening and slide my sight to 60 yards and took the last shot. Retrieved the arrow and went inside. The next day it was raining and finally midafternoon the rain stopped so I quickly walked down the road to a...

    Excited to Join the Saddle Hunting Community

    Welcome from Missouri. One piece of advice is to be mindful of how quickly the weight of your saddle and gear adds up. Things can quickly escalate and before you know it, you can be pushing 20+ lbs. So, choose your climbing method and look for the gear that helps you to keep the weight down.

    Bow strings. Do we have the wrong mindset by using target bow strings for our hunting bows?

    B50 is made from dacron and b55 is polyester which is similar to dacron. D97 is dyneema. In my opinion, the D97 is the better choice as it is more stable and being dyneema, it is elastic and quiet. B50 dacron and B55 polyester will be more elastic and maybe a touch quieter but also not near as...

    Sometimes I wonder about myself?

    It's a man's instinct to get his hands on a nice rack and then mount it. Deer hunting is just an alternative reality.

    Instead of always arriving early to locations. Maybe start once light is visible is a better approach?

    It really depends on the individual hunting location and situation. Sometimes going in early is best and other times, going in later is best. I often wait until daylight before going to my hunting spot. Deer are moving at the break of day, and it is easy to bump them if you are walking around...

    Non “big camo” clothing

    When I hunt from the ground, I wear ASAT camo because it works. When I hunt from a tree, I don't care what camo pattern it is because I am above the deer's peripheral vision and not seen.

    Do You Hunt on Windy Days?

    I had one ordered and it came in yesterday. It seems well built. It is a little chunky but not a deal breaker. I plan on wrapping the hooks with some stealth strips to make it a little quieter.

    changing arrows = retune?

    A lot of guys shoot those small diameter shafts. I don't see any advantage in them, and I like the standard carbon diameter better.

    Do You Hunt on Windy Days?

    I will hunt in the wind, but the wind makes things more difficult. It's hard to hear deer walking and it makes it hard to see movement. How do you like your big whitetail dreams bow holder?
