    I've noticed things have slowed down on here.
    My first assumption is that it's close to season and we all have everything ready to go and now are just shooting.
    If not, what's up? I'm on vacation all week and it's too flipping hot outside to go do anything.

    I'm just now getting back into shooting. I noticed how slow it is myself. I really enjoy this site and always find time to be on. Gonna get my corn planted this week and make a few stand changes. After that, its ANTICIPATION like no other! Enjoy the vacation!

    I had to take a forced break. Our house flooded over Labor Day when we were out camping. Just got back in after 32 days. I am back to shooting daily. Scouting trip this weekend.

    I've been shooting off and on in my backyard, but nothing serious. Probably won't start any serious shooting until the end of this month or early August. Been enjoying the summer and not thinking about hunting too much. Done some fishing, hanging out w/friends, working out, playing softball and enjoying life. I'm in no hurry for fall yet.

    Haven't shot an arrow since November. I'll start shooting in a couple weeks probably.

    That really sucks AZC. Though a much smaller scale, my grandparents had some flood damage. Hope everything is alright over there.

    Can't wait to see that bow hoosier

    Yeah I'm much of the same. No major changes right now, just kind of hanging out. Thankfully it's fair time.

    Have not been shooting much at all. put my bow down from 70lbs to about 65 & now my sights all need re-sighting. when we move to our new house next month it has a massive back yard, almost good enough to make a archery club baha & good to a range of about 120 yards :D plus huge 30 yard sheds so indoor shooting at night will be possible :) things are pretty slow at the mow but will pick up !

    I've been shooting for a while now. Working on a food plot with a buddy at a property he owns. There's a lot of deer activity in the area so I'm excited to hunt it this fall.

    I've been shooting off and on for the last couple of months. Doing a few prep projects for this season, etc. But most of my time is taken up entertaining the kids, road trips to all of our state parks, etc. It's been too hot to get out and shoot much until close to dark.

    Nevertheless, I"m about ready to roll for this season.

    About twice a week for me. I feel that I should be doing that to get real familiar with the new Bow come season time. Mainly in back yard but occasionally 12 yards in basement with AC :D

    I do a 3d target league once a week. Shot my new bow for the first time last week and got my first 300. The highest score in our league is in the 320s, so I feel pretty good about that.

    So far so good. I am buying some new accessories tomorrow and hoping it will assist in improving my patterns at least a little. Getting rid of some of the out dated stuff and improving some others. Cant wait to get some more shooting time in before season opening.

    As far as prep I have a few Hidey Holes to plant and maybe a couple more stands to buy, one to move because I just don't like where it is now that I have tracked more since setting it up.After that, I am good to go for the season opener. I will continue to track some and keep an eye on my stand entry trails for the rest of the summer. Oh and I have tons of baking soda and scent killer to buy.

    I was at my local shop this morning replacing the arrows I busted and just kinda playing around. I tried out the 2 inch axion stabilizer. It wasn't a big change but I went ahead and picked it up. It's just a tiny shade lighter.
