I think what we should do is make it whoever is in the contest enter the deer they shot, total it up and be done with it either that or just have a end of season cutoff date like most contests do:) as for replying under the post with deer totals, I just sent mine with the pic and info right to Kent...

I think the rules should be followed and points should be deducted for those (myself included)who did not follow them. I have no problem with having all my points deducted as long as we remain friends. I think what we should do is make it whoever is in the contest enter the deer they shot, total it...

I've taken a few with the xbow. Most I took with Slammerheads and one with a Hammerhead.

Here's what the Slammerhead did last year on the last day.........

Well let me clear it up. I read the rules but didn't see the part or it didn't sink in that you needed to enter it within TWO WEEKS. No one ( as in team members) said anything about that part until it was some time later on. So rather than violate the rules, which were not in a sticky but floating a...

Archery has it's own season separate from ML. Then they took ML and moved it into or during the same time period as archery. It can't be both. One cancels out the chances for the other by the numbers of hunters and the danger of getting shot. It goes against all the reasons archery season was create...

What a goof is 100% on the money. If he really did spek for all then the VDGIF would listen to them and we wouldn't have had ML season put on top of or during archery. How can it be gun and archery too? Like having a fishing season as they drain the lake. When increased numbers enter into a season a...

VBA - They still don't get it.........

VBA or the Virginia Bowhunters Association had their hunting VP come on another site and post about the recent change the VDGIF made allowing muzzle loaders into another week of archery season west of the Blue ridge in VA. I'm still trying to figure out how it can be single shot high power rifle sea...

In my third year of xbow use and I've taken 5 whitetail deer, 3 Sika deer and 3 turkeys with it. Still have the rest of this year to finish out so maybe I can add a little to that number.

Can it get any better?

Just got my Desert Stryker replacement last Friday. You know for the cracked limbs on the first one I got. Well today I get an email. Seems they're going to notify all registered owners send them back to get a complete trigger swap out. What you didn't register yours? It was in the owners manual and...

This is what happens when you allow gun hunters in the woods during archery season and when you allow the ML to be a weapon beyond it's intended use. Today the ML is a 150yd plus weapon, often out to 200 yds. Years ago it was a under 100 yds. weapon. The inlines and advancements have made it for all...

If you ever plan on hunting out of a ground blind and taking a reading through the mesh some of the lower end ones will not do that. The cheapest one that will is the Nikon 440. Bass Pro had them on sale for under $200 a couple of weeks ago. You can find them on Ebay for $175 or so if you look. To m...

Criticism and credit where each is due, that would be the perfect balance in life. It sure sounds as though you have reason to complain against the manufacturer, but it also seems clear that you could be praising the retailer with the same level of enthusiasm. In fact, to be truly fair to the retai...
