    Single Pin "Holdover"

    Here is a tip I picked up from 4-pin shooter at a 3D tournament years ago and I've done it ever since and it has never failed me even with my single pin. for most guys shooting 28.5-29 draw length. Draw a 1/4" line on a target for and sight in at 26yds for a fixed pin shooter and for a...

    How many of you compete with your hunting rig?

    I don't want to say that there is a shift happening, but it's obvious when you look at State level numbers. The ASA, at least in Tennessee, is 65%-70% comprised of senior classes and youth classes. Other than Men's K40 and Open 40, and a few in K45 there just isn't many 20-40 year olds shooting...

    How many of you compete with your hunting rig?

    We have 3D shoots every month and they are still the biggest in the State! The next shoot is April 20th and 21st in fact! We had to close and go private because the public was destroying the facility and the targets. We had four $900 targets destroyed in 5 weeks because people wouldn't follow...

    Heavy vs. Light

    Millions of deer have died with an arrow setup in the ballpark of yours. Unless you aren't personally confident in it, then change but that would be the only way I would change—I certainly wouldn't do it for any other reason.

    Archery range

    You're right...I just checked and misunderstood my source. It is closing though. Early to Mid-October and will stay closed until some time in January.

    Archery range

    Old Hickory Lake Bowmen Club in Hermitage had to go to private membership about 5 years to protect the range—people wouldn't stop using broadheads and they almost bankrupted the place having to replace $600 buttress targets every 3 weeks. They are on Facebook and are still the largest range in...

    CWD now confirmed in North Carolina

    My give a darn about CWD is almost at zero, much like many that I'm talking to. It has been around for decades in other parts of the country and nothing has happened. This has "trust the science" and lack of common sense from CV-19 written all over it. Many of these new states are in absolute...

    Most OVERRATED hunting gear?

    Not at all, we would be far better off using rapelling harnesses, that are far better suited for what we are doing.

    Yanahli Bill 1674

    I have been talking to several legislators, including my own, the past few weeks about this dangerous HB1674 bill that would start giving away our public lands, starting with Yanahli. Rep. Susan Lynn contacted me and told me she spoke with Rep. Cepicky about this and he told her that he would...

    Treestand harness question

    HSS and TMA recommends replacing them every 5 years, or if a load has been placed on it, or it shows signs of wear

    Treestand harness question

    Because it is a business that they have cornered and convinced millions they HAVE to use this. All they have done is take standard OSHA approved full-body harnesses and made them camo and charge an exorbitant amount for a simple design. When they make millions, and have the market covered, why...

    Treestand harness question

    The comfort and safety aspect of a rock-climbing harness is so far ahead of a HSS style harness, that really was designed for construction and work applications, where others are typically around you. You can layer/unlayer with ease with a rock climbing harness, you literally don't know it is on...

    Combo Questions re walking to the stand in the AM

    My favorite way to walk in is no light, or a red light if I need one, but with the wma's around mid-tn you're lucky if you don't see me carrying a lit-up disco ball coming through the woods as I use the light to let some of these public land "hunters" know that I'm not a deer and not to shoot my...
