    The Knaider in action

    I've used the knaider and swaider and really found it super easy to use. My only issue is to get faster with Wild Edge Stepps. I really like them but find myself (maybe just me) spending too much time trying to get them set just right. I don't have an issue with the speed of getting the knot...

    Anyone know where to get Jeff Sturgis' deer movement calendar formula?

    Been so focused on getting used to saddle hunting, just getting around to learning more about the other part of hunting: getting smarter about deer hunting. Jeff Sturgis has a lot of great YouTube videos about deer. Anyone know where to find his calendar for deer movement? Jeff claims most...

    The hand held releases are supposed to help with target panic. Not sure that a thumb one really does though. Was considering a back tension release as it's supposed to force perfect follow through. I kinda think now that all I have to do is put my thumb behind the trigger to prevent it from...

    Wild edge steppladder?

    I bought 10 Wild Edge Stepps with 6' at the Harrisburg show. I must admit I wasn't my usual self with the purchase. I was dealing with the height of a family problem and wanted to spend a day escaping. Well I walked out of the show with the stepps. I didn't even know to ask about 6' or 8'...

    Kestrel or Mantis

    Thanks guys for clarifying the Kestrel vs Mantis topic. I wish I could try them on. I'm 6' and 220lbs. Most of my pants are 36"; some are 34". I have an athletic build (not bragging) so my weight is a little deceiving. Weight training (heck that's good for climbing trees) and...

    I ordered a Kestrel but after reading this thread it seems everyone is saying the Mantis is way better??
