    Quiver Capacity

    I watched a buddy once miss low, miss high, then drop an arrow before he finally used his fourth arrow to drill a doe at 35 yards. I still tease him about that to this day. I use a 3 arrow quiver, fully loaded and extremely rarely shot more than one arrow in 27 years of hunting. Looks like from...

    Fixed Blade Broadhead

    Montec by G5. Been using them since they came out. One piece, resharpenable, and fly like my field tips. Never have let me down. I know you expandable guys love your expandables, but I've seen too many, animals go way too far on perfect shots. I belong to a hunting group and tracked many...

    Back band essential?

    I'm a newbie, I just ordered it with my system. Not a huge investment if I use it or not. I just thought it makes sense to make it more comfortable for long sits. My concern is, will it be in the way when I need to shoot my bow?

    Shooting out of a saddle.

    Don't drop your arm down that holds the bow. Keep that "T" form. Lean out and twist when you need too, like Dtrolley mentioned. Good luck. Glad you are practicing shooting out of your saddle, we all need to do that!
