    Traditional Kills

    Looks like it was fun. Did Charlie and Joe shoot with you all that day? Those guys are fun to shoot with and damn good shots at that.

    How many deer have you killed?

    I am 41 years old. I started deer hunting in 1992 when I was 12 I have hunted 28 years I have lost count but I can say that I should be well over fifty I think and I’m thinking I’m pushing or am close to triple digits. I hunt in middle and south eastern Virginia. All has been on private...

    Ridge runner or predator?

    I do not own a predator. I do own the ridge runner I can say that I have been extremely happy with it, it is much more comfortable that the three wild edge steps I was using. I did have one gripe about the ridge runner and that was how the strap attaches to the platform while settling it up...

    Traditional Kills

    I know nothing about aging deer from teeth but those teeth do look sharp like baby teeth to me but I have no authority in the matter. Either way good job on the trad kill. It is not an easy thing to do I missed one yesterday evening at 10 yards. I’m wondering if I know what the heck I’m...

    Traditional Kills

    That deer is right there with the first one I killed 28 years ago as far as trophy a trophy goes.

    Traditional Kills

    After missing a bunch this season I was starting to wonder if I would get a deer with a trad bow. I would get a deer in range and just blank out when it came to time shoot. I would get to anchor and just look at the deer not where I wanted to shoot my arrow. I got over my panic by killing a...

    MTW Fab - Any Experiences?

    Just a small detail that I saw that has me alarmed. The nut on the hinge in the isn’t a nyloc nor does it have threads all the way through it. That little detail tells a lot be careful dropping your money on that thing. The welding my be great but you could take a ride if a corner was cut...

    First animal with a recurve and from my saddle.

    I went deer hunting this morning and was covered up with deer before legal then missed a 6 point buck when my arrow hit a limb and deflected between the bucks legs. A short time later I was covered in squirrels so fried squirrel for breakfast was sounding good to me. I loosed an arrow with a...

    Ridge Runner Platform

    I did this on the side without the buckle and it works like a charm. Thank you for the great tip.

    Ridge Runner Platform

    I ordered one and it arrived yesterday. I went out tonight and had a hunt and I found it better than the primal steps I was using. Much more foot room than the three steps I was using but 5-6 times the price. That said the platform fits in my Tenzing TX15 pack with my saddle and pad that I use...

    Pegged!

    Hang in there I know how you are feeling. I missed a nice buck at 10 yards shot right over him. Then 8 days later I missed another on at 12 yards. This damn recurve is driving me nuts love it but damn it is hard at times. I step on to the range and can drop the bulls eye at 5-35 yards...

    What sticks to buy

    Well if money is no concern that sounds like to way to go I love my helium’s but the beast sticks sound like the cat’s meow they look awesome too. My buddy just got a set of API sticks that have a fixed double step they were pretty sweet. But I think from all the positive beast reviews I would...

    What sticks to buy

    I have the helium sticks and love them. I cut them down to 22-1/2”. If you do this watch some videos on if there is one where a guy talks about having ample material above and below the new step location. All that said with the new length the sticks weigh about 7.5 LBS and pack very well. I...

    Podium or ridgerunner

    I pulled the trigger on the ridge runner I think it would have a better grip when wet but I have yet to get it it should ship any day hopefully. I also went that way because I wear a 13 wide boot and wider the plat form for me the better.

    W.E W/ Amsteel?

    I bought the primal steps which are similar but probably not as high of quality. I replaced the strap with a 1/4 amsteel. I bought a 50’ x1/4” amsteel winch cable from amazon for $20 and a $3 fid and spliced it on. It works well but I was using three steps as a platform and decided to pull...
