    Plythal is a camo company that is supposed to be very comparable with Sitka at a lot less cost. I've done alot of research on it and I can find very few negatives. It looks solid to me.

    My first post on this thread. Today I ordered two bottles of D/Code hair/body wash, two sticks of D/Code antiperspirant/deodorant, 44 ounces of D/Code spray and two packs of green Nocturnal lighted nocks for Gold Tip arrows. I really wanted blue Nocturnals, but they are out of stock everywhere. I'm red/green colorblind dammit, and blue is the only color I see well! Oh well, red and green will just show up as light to me. I'll still be able to find my arrow sticking out of the ground. :lol:

    Pshhhh. Of course.

    You don't know me, do you? :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Seriously, yes, after a pass through. I lost two arrows last season alone after they passed through and either buried or deflected. I lost two more that didn't totally pass through but got pulled out of the deer while it was running. I might have found them with lighted nocks. That's a lot of money in the woods.

    I don't need lighted nocks to see the point of impact. White wraps, blazers and nocks have always let me see where I hit. It's just finding the stupid arrow after the shot that always kicks my colorblind butt.

    No, I am what the cat dragged in lol. I understand, although some blue nocks could possibly help. The second bear I shot, we never did find the arrow.

    Nothing but respect from me on that pic.

    I'm phobic when it comes to bears. There is no way you'd catch me in Grizzly country without my 10mm on my hip and my 45-70 slung over my shoulder.

    Trust me Chief, my son was next to me with his 7mm. The 2nd bear was super sketchy lol, we were leaving and it came out of no where. I went to my knees and my son went for the stand. I stalked up to 10 yards and shot; grizzly is a rug, and other was a cinnamon black shoulder mount with mouth open. I believe you would do fine Chief

    No, I'd probably die of heart failure and the mortician would have a nasty clean up job to perform, the cause of which would happen just before my heart stops.

    My wife always says she'd like to take me to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. I always tell her "Sure, as long as you carry the supplies and I carry the weapons."

    Not gonna happen. I'll take my chances with the few black bears and cougars we have here locally.

    I will have to look at the pic I sent you of grizzly rug over rail, but you may see an 8 ft mt lion mount in same pic. Have fun and enjoy your time walking our great land.

    Best selection and stock of Nockturnals I found. He sells them individually. I have only ordered once, but I was able to order 4 for under $20 with free shipping.

    I just sharpened my Slick Tricks last night. Those things are scary sharp. The single bevel is there as well.

    Been shooting with my Nose Button and really like it! I would compare it to writing with a sharpie versus a mechanical pencil. Much more precise!
