Tkstae: The target has a deer body on one side, nearly full size, and on the other, 5 targets so you won't ruin bolts by Robin Hooding. Striper

Really good, affordable Crossbow target

I just got home after purchasing another Morrell Bandit Bow target for field points. I know this is the best reasonably priced crossbow target I have come across. It sells for $24.95 American at Walmart. I can heartily recommend it to all our forum members. I retitled this as it was getting no atten...

Steve: Pass along our congratulations to Lane and her family for a job well done! We wish her many more bucks like that one. As a burn victim myself when I was 25 years old, I know just a little of what she went through. Again, my congratulations and delight at her success! With tears, Striper

Steelworker: I am so accident prone that when I cock my Exocet and tie it to my pull-up rope. I stretch a medium heavy rubber band around the stock of the bow and over the safety. This makes it a lot harder for the safety to be accidentally disengaged while pulling the bow up to the tree stand. Also...

TAC: I want to relate an incident that happened to me years ago. About 30 minutes before dawn I slipped in to my climbing stand and climbed quietly up to about 20 feet, pulled up my bow and quiver and settled in for a morning's hunt. I stayed in the tree about 4 hours, and saw several deer pass by o...

Korey: To the question: I have purchased and used a water based polyurethane "paint" that gives a semigloss finish. It is applied with a brush and I think that it would give a very nice sheen to antlers. It dries within an hour and you can apply multiple coats in one day. Also, it gives a ...

O/T Hurricane in Alabama

We really had a wind event in Alabama Thursday. I live about 140 miles from the coast and we had about 8 hours of wind above 40 MPH, with gusts to 70 miles. We live on top of a hill and the remains of the eye came directly over our house. It made for some really exciting moments. No serious damage, ...
