The difference in brand name seeds and seeds from your local co-op is negligible. Save yourself some money.

I shoot a scoped 500. The thing is dead on and hasn't let me down yet. That thumbhole stock is a huge plus too, esp if you're walking long distances with the gun. It makes it a lot easier to carry.

I have a hard enough time getting dirt plots to grow. You don't want my advice!

Good lookin knife! I'm with everyone in that a gut hook is worth it! My favorite Buck knife has a gut hook that makes field dressing easy.

Couple buddies went last year and had an amazing time. I bet it's a lot different than Chicagoland! I think I'm going to make the trip the second time around.

Dot the fletches? Do explain...

Well, everything's coming together. Got my dozen Easton ST Epic shafts ordered ($75), my Onestringer custom arrow wraps (http://www.onestringer.com/index.php?page=mods/Products/search&sstring=anthony%20valcarcel, $17), and my vanes bought (white and black). The next step is getting them together! Pics to come hopefully in the next 10 days or so.

Alright guys, I'm 100% sold. What can I expect on my first couple arrows? Is it fool proof or is there a learning curve? When I get a second off work, I'm gonna head on over to Bass Pro and pick up some supplies..

Looks like I have to look into a fletching rig...I guess I have all day Sunday to look into this. Now that you guys convinced me, don't be upset when I'm sending you all PM's with questions!!

You forgot to list patience and time!! I really would love to get in to it someday, but I don't think that it's in my near future. 60 hour work weeks tend to put a damper on leisure time activities...

I'm lookin to get a dozen brand spankin new Easton Epics. I really am a huge fan of custom arrows, but don't have the know how, the time, the patience, or the equipment to do them myself. Does anyone know of a website or archery shop that does a good job? I've seen a few pics of arrows that you guys have made in the past and I'm impressed! Anyone up for a little side job??

Saawweeeettt lookin arrows!

Still looks healthy, at least judging by his weight. Sweet progression of pictures, too. Wonder what happened to that bone he used to have.

Congrats!! All the hard work finally paid off!

Ha, apparently I'm not the only one who has always wanted to do this. On a related subject, after becoming a huge fan of Arrow Affliction, I have an arrow set aside just in case a flock of geese decide to fly by...:D
