Every time I start to believe what is being said about the economy being bad I see another new truck or car on the road in front of me or some poor slob with a big ass boat at the gas station putting high dollar gas in his boat and truck so he can go to the lake to ski or fish. Go to the mall and it...

I didn't want to get into this but I just finished reading an article on MSNBC that was talking about the Russians and who they would rather have as our president and they think McCain is too tough and they lean toward Obama. That's one of the best reasons I can think of for voting McCain/Palin. The...

If you are taking the bears to thin them out then that's a reason. I'm just saying in my opinion if you kill just for the sport of it and no other reason other than that it makes your heart pump a little faster, it seems more like a thrill kill. Thast just doesn't seem right to me. I am not condemni...

ehntr Where in my comment do you find that I tried to impose anything or cast judgement about a bear hunt on anybody. All I did was to say I don't believe in trophy hunting of any kind be it bear, elephant or deer. Prairie dogs are killed by ranchers to keep from having their animals break legs from...

For all you bear hunters; do you eat the meat or do you kill for the thrill and for the trophy. I don't believe in trophy hunting, I think if you are going to kill something you should eat it. Just my opinion.

Do not want a crankaroo, too noisy. I was just curious about the point where the weight comes into play. I don't have problems with strength right now and after getting some feedback there seems to be a by-product of owning a crossbow by getting more exercise, one more point I can bring up with the ...

Rope Cocker

Just another nube question: I know a rope cocker has a 50% let off on power required to cock a crossbow. At what point in the draw do you start to feel the max pull of the bow string? I picked up two 50# weights to get an idea of what to expect but I suspect it will be different with the rope cocker...
