(I am 68) I have found that it is a bit easier to just sit quietly in a comfortable camo chair in a 'bush patch' or natural blind... if you have the ability to sit very still and quiet for longer periods of time... you would b...

Re: Weight vs speed
As a new Excalibur Exomax owner I am a bit confused as to proper weight/broad-head... ft/lb etc... etc.... I never paid much attention to shooting with my old Ben Pearson Spoiler Plus back in the day but now... probably 25 or 30 year later... everyone seems to be so interested in all this tech stuff...
