Re: Couldn't find my 8 pointer
Man, some of you "experts" are kind of rough on a fellow. Maybe I should have used a bit more detail. I've been hunting with a bow for over 40 Yrs and have killed lots of deer, my largest being a 9 pt 200 lbs at 42 yards. When I said this deer was about 40 yards,I quess I should have given...

Couldn't find my 8 pointer
Thursday evening I had a nice 8 pointer come in about 40yds out. He heard me as I had to stand to shoot. I froze in a half crouch with my Vortex about half extended. He stared up at me for what seemed like 10 minutes but was probably only about 45 seconds. Then some acorns fell behind him, in the th...

Re: Help with my new S5 and brace height
Fellows, Thanks for sharing your wisdom. I think I'll just leave "as is" until the season ends this Friday.

Re: First kill with my Vortex
I've been "lurking" on this forum ever since I bought my Vortex last year. Every question I've needed an answer to concerning crossbows, I've found with a search of the forum. You guys are the best and this is the best forum I've seen. Of course you've cost me quite a bit of money also.......

First kill with my Vortex
Bought my Vortex last bow season but didn't get a shot until yesterday. I was in a ladder stand overlooking a food plot when about 5:30PM I saw movement in the brush to the right of the food plot. It looked like a fox roaming about in the brush but angling toward me. When it got closer, I realized i...
