    Traditional bows and saddles

    I was shooting my 70" target bow yesterday and would not want it up in a saddle or tree stand, too long. I have a 29.75" draw and find that a 64" bow is the right compromise for maneuverability and stacking/smoothness.

    Screw-ins or Bolts for preset ROS?

    Finally got over poison ivy and tries out climbing with bolts today. Used an auger bit on my battery drill to make the holes. I was surprised how easy they were to set up and how comfortable they are to climb. I will predrill a couple of trees on my property. Thank you for the a guidance.

    H2 talk

    Was getting use to my H2 this afternoon. Sat in it for 45 minutes and felt just fine. I got it for Christmas and then promptly broke my wrist on January 2nd so I did not get to use it during hunting season. Have been getting use to it after I got my cast off, I like it but I am not a long...

    Just Ordered Christmas Present

    Just getting started with saddle hunting in NW PA. Ordered an H2 saddle and Hawk climbing sticks for Christmas. With any luck the saddle will make it here before Christmas, if not I can try it out during flintlock season. I live across from 1400 acres of state game land and am tired of...
