  1. Does anyone have any experience with one of these? Sure would be nice to save what's left of my hearing. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/832...rem-choke-blue
  2. There are no details because they are running for President, which is the Executive branch. Presidents don't enact or repeal anything.
  3. I did buy it and so far, so good. I tried to shoot it once and it is just wayyy too short for me to get a good impression of it. It fits my daughter very well - it is very easy to adjust the draw length and pull weight.
  4. I spent the extra $$ and got one with the angle compensation, but I wouldn't do it again. I have done some target shooting on the steepest hills I can find (I live in CO and it's pretty steep around here) and the difference between the compensated and straight-line range is rarely more than a few yards. Maybe if you are hunting from a high tree stand it would matter, but I suspect that if an animal is close enough to make the angle really steep, then the range is going to be small, so the difference will be small as well. I suppose if you shoot really long distances (>50 yds) on steep hills it might be significant as well. Just my opinion.
  5. None of my local dealers has one of these and I wanted to try one before I buy it for my daughter. I can't even find any real reviews for it either. Anyone have any info or opinions?
  6. I can only imagine the amount of time and effort that went into this video. I didn't even notice the music, so it must fit.
  7. Also sounds like maybe the bow's draw length is too long. Have you been measured at a bow shop? Most bows have adjustable draw length, but some require a bow press to adjust.
  8. You shouldn't be clenching your fist to draw, all the tension should be on your wrist. Maybe just need to adjust the release so it's tighter around the wrist.
  9. Good stuff! Maybe a little too much of footage of the ground in front of you, but you can't hunt and be a cameraman at the same time, I guess.
  10. Do you mean "down" as in pointing down to the ground or do you mean that you start letting off on the string?
  11. skeptic A Faraday cage for hunting, huh? Count me as a skeptic. Sounds like snake oil, pun intended. Sharks are one example of animals that can detect small changes in the electric field caused by other animals muscle movement, but they live in salt water (very conductive). HowStuffWorks "What is electroreception, and how do sharks use it?" Air does not conduct electricity very well. The only other radiation (besides very small amounts of radioactive decay Radiation from humans) is thermal radiation, or infrared. Only snakes, I think, can see IR: Night Vision in Animals | dmohankumar.com. JMO
  12. Any load that you can reliably shoot straight. BTW, other posters will want to know what caliber, etc you are shooting.
  13. Just bumping this to top. My son and I both drew our deer and elk rifle tags!

    Replace everything at once. I had mine done at a local shop for ~$100. I think they were Zebra(?) brand.
