Ya'll asked.
5 years in an archery shop and a lot of time in the woods and at the camp have convinced me that most hombres are overbowed in every sense of the word. Too much poundage, too long a draw, too many pins, and too crazy of an arrow design. And don't even get me started on the miscellaneous, neon-colored junk slapped everywhere. Whitetails, particularly in the southeastern United States, are just not that big and bad. It only takes around 40 ft/lbs of energy for an arrow to penetrate a deer's vitals, and a lot guys are shooting a rig that can do twice that and still trying to milk more out of their setup! It's like hunting with a 300 WSM and wanting to upgrade to a 300 RUM!
New bows are also stupid expensive, and people have an unfortunate habit of buying more than one. Why can you hunt a lifetime with daddy's ole 30-06, but not with a $1,200 bow? Why does a new bow cost double what a rifle does? Why are there SO many accessories?
Bow hunting is not hard, the gear is not complicated, and it does not need to take up a lot of your time or money unless you want it to.
My rig is not expensive; is not hard to setup, tune, or maintain; and will suit the average whitetail hunter very well. And when I say average, I mean YOU! Even if you shoot very well at targets past the ranges I talk about, I can almost guarantee that for a number of reasons, your shots on game fall apart past 30 yards. I'm not poking fun. I'm no better.
If you like simple, pragmatic things that just work, you'll enjoy this video.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have.
