It's not as high as it looks, Bow was tilted forward resting on a branch. That base of the tree in front of me was 10-15' down slope of the one I was in. Wind never stopped. Didn't even see a squirrel today but I got to use some presents from the Love of my Life (hand muff and arctic shield boot covers), so all in all it was a good day but cold.

It looks high and 180 degrees out of alignment. It didnt look like the d loop was going to rotate it into good position either. Hate you didnt see anything but warm hands and feet are a great thing!!
Thanks for the concern
Just measured. Center of D loop to center of peep 5 3/4". D loop twist everything right into place, though these progressive bifocals are more of an issue than peep twist. Replaced string after last season and shoot almost everyday (6 yards in the basement). The position bugged me at first but after 10 months of shooting it is what it is, and it just rolls into place. Not seeing anything has become the norm this season, but you're right about the hands and feet. Windchill was about 25 with steady 17mph N winds.

My old compound was like that. At rest the peep and d loop were off, a lot. But at full draw it was aligned. Doesnt matter if nothing shows up to shoot at though, lol. Had plenty of those days too. 17 mph north wind has a lot of suck in it.

Kind of a strange look this morning. We've had a dusting of snow but, from the tree anyway, it doesn't look white. Its more gray appearing, almost like a layer of ash. Picture from my crappy phone doesn't really do it justice.

Looks more like a heavy frost than snow.
I agree but it was falling when I walked in this morning so I know its a dusting.

I’m up against the clock here, have to leave for a wedding, but a few hours in the tree was better than skipping hunting completely and being mad I didn’t go. Figure I’ve got about 15 minutes left until the wife is nervous and 45 until it’s a quiet 3 hour car ride angry. Personally I’ve never really minded the peace and quiet while I drive anyway.
Am I the only one that was hoping for a "I just shot a deer" update at about the 43-44 minute mark?
Last sit of the year - like many of the others - it's raining.
Thanks for this thread, helps with the motivation.
I wish I was a headlight on a north-bound train

Last hang of the year. Decided to use my new ape canyon pioneer for the first time. Seems pretty comfy but only time will tell. Good luck to all for the remainder of your season

SMH...Just took out trash (730-ish) and I hit the front porch light, walk into garage, hit the door opener, toss a bag in the can, and get snorted at. 
At least 4 not 20' away under my front tree eating... They ran.
I'm going to start sitting on my porch. Wonder if one of those polls would hold me in a saddle ?

Dang man were you at. I have a press, we can fix that twisted behind peep.
First time out in almost two weeks and first time I’ve needed mid layers. Now if the wind would settle down and the deer show up I’d be happy. 3 little dry creeks meet to my right and beds and fresh sign around me

Cloudy dark morning. Supposed to snow some later. Probably my last morning for the season. 
You’re gunna shoot the biggest buck of anyone on SH.com this year, today.
