Need help! I just went out and shot and everything is looking good. I think I was just fatigued.

New setup. I would actually like to see other people's set ups.

This is my new setup: Diamond "The Rock", Carbon Triad stabilizer, string supressor, NAP Quicktune rest, (assuming) Cobra sights, Goldtips, Muzzy MX3.[ATTACH=CONFIG]12664[/ATTACH]

I got my bow on at 20 and 30 with fieldtips and at 20 with the broad head. At 30, the broad head is off about 5 or 6 inches to the right. Any suggestions?

what would you guys do? I would hunt it with your climber. Even if you don't see them, it's only 1 hunt out of a whole season.

I shoot Muzzy MX3s. When I shot my first deer this year, the trocar tip was no longer sharp (kind of bent on the point). It was my first deer with a bow, so I mounted the arrow and broadhead with the antlers. My question is: When you shoot a deer, do you have to replace the broadhead or is there a way to fix the tip and do you replace the blades or re-sharpen them and re-use them? This looks like it can get very expensive if the broadheads get damaged every time you hit a deer.

I know everybody says you have to bend at the waist, but I shot my bow yesterday at a shop without a peep sight by only putting the pin on the target. I was dead on. It seems to me that as long as your peep sight, pin and target are lined up, you should be ok. I have only been big into archery this year, so please don't take what I say to be the final word. I have always heard and been told to bend at the waist, so that would probably be the best thing to do.

I have a climber and love the mobility of it. It takes a little longer to get up a tree and as far as the noise goes, if a deer is around it's going to see you climbing regardless of what kind of stand you use. I used a hang on for the first time yesterday and love the freedom you have in it. You only have so much space in any stand but with a climber the bars kind of restrict you. I didn't care for the climbing stick on the tree because I had to take my harness off the tree to get onto the hang-on. I don't think it was set up like it should have been though (climbing sticks going above the stand so you step down onto it instead of over to it). Anywho, the climber is the most convenient cause you can just about sit anywhere you want.

Haha!

The WB has to take some fps off of the arrow speed. I just don't see how it wouldn't. There is no doubt it is hands down the best for containment, but I just don't see how speed isn't effected and the vanes don't eventually get messed up.

Does anybody use the scent wafers for anything more than storing with your hunting clothes? I just don't see how they would be very affective hanging from my hat.

Not knocking Christmas (I love it not only for the fun about it but the TRUE meaning of it.), but all it means to hunters in SC is only 1 more week of hunting!!! I'm just saying...

What kind of arrow rest do you use and why? I have a NAP Quicktune 360 on the Diamond I bought, just waiting to get it back from the shop to use it. Not sure if I will like the Quicktune or not, but it looks like it has all the qualities I am looking for: vane clearance and arrow containment. I currently have the 2 prong style rest on my older bow. It is nice but obviously has no room for movement in the stand without losing the arrow.

It sounds to me like it's no worse than drinking a cup of coffee or 2 with sugar in it. I was born with a heart defect and have been drinking energy drinks for years now (sometimes with my Jager, but that's a different story). I have never experienced any problems while drinking energy drinks, regardless of brand. The only effect I have felt was my heart racing giving me energy, which is what these energy drinks are supposed to do. I drink a Monster Java or 2 everytime I drive the 2 hours it takes to get to where I hunt and I don't plan to stop anytime soon.

I already filled my "buck tag" for the property I hunt, so I will be hunting does only for the rest of the season. Should I be trying to pattern the does or just pretty much hunt wherever? I have some spots already that I know deer are moving through, so should I hunt there or are there any specific places to be looking for does? Is there a specific pattern to does during the rut? I'm not sure if it matters, but I will be bowhunting all season.

Are they really that bad for you? Worse than regular energy drinks or are they all that bad?

Is the Realtree energy drink still available in stores or just online now? The last time I saw one in the store was last hunting season.

Some things are more important than a man card... Just throwing out an idea.

I have an old bow, but I just got a new one and it needs strings. I just want to use it!!!

That's just it. Our experiences are what we should go by when deciding whether or not we like or want to continue using a product. A lot of people, myself included, rely on others opinions to decide if they should use or buy a product. There is no doubt that getting opinions from others is extremely helpful. That's what is so great about a forum like this one. But the only way to truly know how a product works is to try it out for yourself. I have personally found that if I wash, store and spray my clothes down (I don't use ScentLok or anything like it), I have never had problems with seeing deer, even if I'm not playing the wind. Of course I have always rifle hunted until this year, so that may change. The point is, I found, through my in field trials and uses, that my scent elimination process works for me, so I continue to use it.

What helps me is knowing that I won't have any recoil like I do with my rifle. Not sure if that helps you or not, but maybe you are having problems with it playing with your mind like I did.

I am a big supporter of Breast Cancer Awareness and the outdoors. I want to find a way to kind of mash them together. I thought about giving my bow a BCA theme. I would give it pink/orange or pink/black strings. Pink ribbons on the bow. Pink accessories (rest, string dampeners, etc.) If I were to do this to my bow, wouldI have problems reselling it in a few years? I am very passionate about BCA and the outdoors. I would love to use hunting as a way to raise awareness of this matter.

That I don't want to go hunting again until I get my new bow back from getting new strings put on it?

The store couldn't get them so I ordered Winners Choice.
