    Yeah:) that's why I started it.

    I'll also add the bow holder that clips to your belt and you hang your bow on it by the string. Bought one but never used it because I didn't like the idea the it may move my peep when the bow slides on the string.

    Sure could think of some other stuff but most recently disappointed with evolved harvest ph meter. Stuck it in ground twice and tip on one of the probes pulled out with wire. So its useless now.

    Only out 14 bucks though

    Not directly archery related, but still terrible. Chameleon blind. For actual archery, string leaches. Might have just been my old bow being like a gun going off anyway, but didn't quiet it down at all.
