I use a hip quiver that can hold 6, but I only bring 4 to keep extra room between arrows... Works well when you have bulky gloves on....

Lots of people don't bother and others (like me with high cheek bones) like to add a cheek piece to align your head better to the scope.... Excal makes one that straps on the stock... Some like it, some don't... You can make one yourself... Do a search on the Forum for what others have come up with ...

The National Bowhunter Education Foundation (NBEF) has a video that comes with every treestand purchased that is an excellent source for information on treestand safety. I don't think it's available online, but you can probably get a copy of it from them or maybe a local bowhunting dealer might have...

Yeah, I think setting my Vortex for deadcenter at 25 yds will keep me good for at least 30 yds without raising the dot too much... I hunt some pretty thick stuff and some places 30 yds is the farthest I can shoot.... Liaf, Is that Zeiss Z-point paralax free?... That's something I need to test with t...

Thanks Cossack, That's been my experience with Red Dots too. Since they are a single dot, I think, that's probably going to be the case with the Aimpoint too... I guess, I'll still have to sight it in to some distance, say 25 yds and then estimate the distance to the deer and adjust for anything say...

Here's another way to look at it. According to the Ohio DNR formula the replacement value of a buck depends upon the size of the rack... For example: Score Value 125 $1,531.25 130 1,485.00 140 1,985.00 150 3,140.00 160 4,625.00 170 6,440.00 180 $11,060.00 Interesting, but I'm not sure how I feel abo...
