Trying to knock the rust off with shooting my bow. Going back to a thumb release. Just feel more comfortable with it overall. Took my nose button off. Maybe I just need the smaller one but I think it was messing my anchor up. Took it off and the Grim Reaper practice point is hitting right with my field points. Possibly try to get some tree practice in tomorrow. Cooler weather this week.
Follow up from the custom shoulder straps, added a Kifaru Tailgunner II. Came with no harness or belt. Used a couple existing sections of webbing which typically attach to a belt to affix it to the OOAL Hush. Will move it up one section of aluminum to expose the outer edge, but has about 1000 cu in of volume so will fit essentials and be able to strap gear on easily with a grab it. Time will tell how this setup works out.

Got my kids in the saddle at ground level this weekend. They're 5 and 2. Planning to take the 5 year old for his first deer hunts this year but we'll be in the blind. They absolutely loved swinging around in the saddle though. Nothing better than hearing my little 2 year old saying this is how she'll hunt with daddy.
Watched too many of Nutterbusters videos. Now I have to order a Tree hopper Drill. This hobby is more expensive than owning a boat........

Did his videos also make you want to order a kite saddle with no mollies?

I did some practice SRT climbs in my garage today. I can get to about 14 foot and it helps the old legs and arms a bit.

As long as you can get it to run...
Got this cheap bow sling in from Amazon today. It’ll work good on climbing sticks…

I climbed a tree again in an attempt to let the air out of a deer…does that count?

I use a strap from Strapworks. Easier than trying to find the perfect pack to carry them with. Just throw them over your shoulder.

re-tied my climbing/tether hitch. JRB put out another variant to his hitch. Mostly it keeps it from tightening over time. I like the ease at which one may switch from soft bridge mode to a longer tail.
Nice, think that would work as a back band in the saddle?Got this cheap bow sling in from Amazon today. It’ll work good on climbing sticks…

Went to the gym and rowed 3k meters, 30 flights on the stairmonster, deadlifts and overhead in carries. Then worked on my 25 yard calibration. This was avg.

This was about the best.

I'm going to have to go pick some milkweed this week. We have a pretty good patch that grows along the fence line here at work and some of the pods must already be open because I'm watching milkweed seeds drift past my office window as I'm typing this.
