I had the same noise issues with the sling that came with my Exomax. I used electrical tape for a temporary fix. Then bought a Claw sling and love it. The sling connnectors are made from a material that does not generate the noise my other sling did and the Claw keeps the bow on my shoulder very wel...

Ya Ya I've known guys like you before. You tell your wife and friends that you are done and are selling all your hunting equipment. Then conveniently you change your mind next year just before the season opens and decide you need to buy all NEW stuff. Pretty smart :wink: Maybe you just need to take ...

You're having a great season compared to mine. I just returned from another 4 days hunting northern Michigan. Total this year of 9 days in the woods and I've not seen a deer yet. Had a pack of 7 yotes around me Thursday right at dark. They came within 20 yds of me but were on the move and didn't pre...

Ya the article basicly said the same thing that the benefits of high FOC outweighted the negatives. I probably shouldn't have posted here in regards to this article. It was just something I personally found informative and I thought others may enjoy reading about it as well. I've been bow hunting fo...

Well its a fairly long article. Not sure how I could get a copy and place it on this site. I imagine someone may be able to do it. I just thought that if anyone was interested they could pickup a copy of the magazine up and give it a read. One observation I thought was interesting is that with a hea...

Rethinking FOC
Just recieved my November issue of Bowhunting World magazine. Interesting article on page 12 by Richard Combs titled Rethinking FOC. He explains FOC theory and how it affects penetration and long range accuracy (vertical bows) but I think the same would apply to X bows as well. I found it very infor...

The fact you're seeing coyotes is a good sign too me. That means it's not you. If you're fooling the yotes, you're fooling the deer too (in terms of stealth) if there were any deer. We've had a fairly steady pattern here at this location over the years. The toughest time there is to take any deer a...

Welcome longwinters. Good to have another fellow Michigander on site. I'm new to all this crossbow stuff as well but the people here are awesome. Just ask away and you will get the best advice available. I'm not knowledgeable enough yet to give much advice except one thing ( tried once and got it as...

The bare essentials. A sandwich, water, knife, compass, lighter, rope to pull my bow or rifle up after I am in the stand. I learned over the years that you really don't need half the crap you think you'll need. I usually stay in my stand all day with no problem. I wear Gore-tex clothing so rain or s...
