    Last year I switched from the normal 20-30-40yd setup, to pins set at
    1)10yds, (for those deer right under the tree, and out to 20yds or so),
    2) 25 yds, (for 20-30 yd shots),
    3)35 yds, (for...

    I would leave your nock point and peep sight where they are so you don't mess up your anchor point. Then move your rest up or possibly even down, a tiny bit at a time to see what makes the problem...

    DC, take the advice of us old guys, sell that 70lb and buy a 50lb for now, then in a few years, up it to a 60lb. Unless you're hunting dangerous game, 60lb is more than enough. You will shoot better,...

    While scouting a new hunting spot, I came across a huge area of pricker bushes. Decided to follow a deer trail in there to see where it went. It was much bigger than I anticipated, and I got turned...

    I usually wear an elastic, skin tight hood, like Cabelas Camo Skinz or something similar, so it doesn't mess up my anchor point. I ain't putting cork ash or paint on my face.

    I was going to suggest a cow or horse because of the height, but then what animal stares directly at the camera all the time? Doesn't whatever it is ever turn it's head? Even when it moves left and...

    Around 200 hours per year, and getting less each year. Several years ago there were a bunch of big bucks in my area, so I put in just over 500 hours, basically all day almost every day. Now I pretty...

    Mechanicals are great, but you still need to have your bow tuned properly and use the proper arrows for your setup, or penetration can suffer. I think a big reason why people complain about...

    I live and hunt here, and contrary to popular belief, the NYC suburbs (Westchester County NY, Fairfield County Ct.) are, for the most part, not as overrun with deer as people think. The deer that are...

    I disagree a bit. Shot placement yes, but it also has a lot to do with whether the deer was calm or nervous before the shot, and whether or not the shot was a complete pass through. A nervous deer...

    I stay out of the woods from May to September when the baby ticks are around. If I do go to areas where ticks may be I cover up as best I can, and use bug spray. I leave my clothes outside, or wash...

    I've taken many big bucks, but the deer I am most proud of was a doe, identifiable by her white upper front legs. She was the smartest deer I ever saw. She would pick me off every single time I saw...

    NY has 13-16 hunters per square mile? Not the part of NY I hunt. Here it is closer to 13-16 hunters per acre!

    I shoot all year with a 70lb bow to build and maintain strength, and then hunt with a 60lb bow. This way when I'm cold and stiff from sitting on stand the 60 pounder still comes back with ease.

    That goal is unrealistic. No way you will be hitting an index card consistently at 60yds, especially in just a few months. I can't do it, even after almost 30 years of shooting! Just don't want to...

    Don't do it, for $350 you can get a much newer, much better bow than that.

    With all that damage, I truly believe you would have noticed a problem, at the very least noise, vibration, or change in point of impact. At worst a total failure. It is a pretty slow time for bow...

    A thought on Swhackers. If you get an exit hole they are fine, but if not you could have a problem because they tend to make a tiny little entry hole. Same with the Aftershock series.

    Yeah, but on the flip side, and I see it all the time, there are guys shooting 70lb, or even 80lb, bows, with tiny little 1" broadheads on their arrows. Why? Because no matter how hard they try, they...
