    No I don't. I'm not a member of any club. I hang around TAZ Archery and The Buck Stop.

    Sure that I have probably seen you then. Pete at Buck Stop works on my bow all the time and TAZ is a nice shop too. Tim at TAZ is a nice guy.

    Yes! I like Tim very much. He is very patient with everyone and run's a great operation. I'm sure that your Hoyt is a great bow and doesn't need working on all of the time. For me it was going to be the Hoyt Vector Turbo of the Mathew's Monster. Probably a coin toss but I chose the 2009 Monster. I wanted an aggressive bow that I would have to learn to master. Like a machine gun needs to be mastered to be good at it. I like the ballzieness of my Monster.

    I've shot many Hoyt's and Mathew's to experiment with thanks to Pete while at G.A.T. and his shop. So I know Hoyt/Mathew's a coin toss in the higher end bows.

    Like Pete Shipley (PSE) says, "Most bows shoot great until you get a peoples behind them."

    I tried out the new Monster's. They where tamed down and felt like a smooth SoloCam. That's probably better for most, but not for me. Have you been to Strictly Fishing and Archery in Shorewood? Scott has a great 40 yard indoor range with 3D and paper.

    Think the senior member is based on the number of post you make and the Grizzled Veteran is based on how long you have been on the site! So take that you Newb! LOL

    Ok. I took that in the gut. Let me get my breath back. Where did the term, "Grizzled" come from?

    Probably the site designers trying to be funny! No idea but it changes automatically.

    Fish fry is just what we're gonna catch & freeze B4 our camping. The sammachies cost bout $3? I bascially buy the fixins (buns, steak sc, pepperjack cheese, spices) and divy out what it cost me.

    Why don't yall do a white elephant auction at the gtg too? You always start the auction with a couple bottles of booze and then start auctioning the stuff people brought. a great time and the stories the next day are even better. I know the guy who bought a boat and trailer, then dumped the boat in the bosses parking space sans trailer. The boss didn't say a word. Two days later, he had a wrecker come in and remove the fiberglass tri-hull from his space. Donate the proceeds to a good cause.

    I have a Gorilla climber I bought a few years back that I would like to trade for a hang on. I may have used it 3 times but discovered in my area sticks are really the way to go. It has been stored indoors since I got it and it is in mint condition. If anyone has a hang on and is interested please let me know.
