    Bubbles is good! And if that arrow is in him, it’s doing damage every step.

    Bubbles are good for sure! I can’t go help him at all today because of school. I had him back out until at least 1:00 again before he pushes any farther

    sounds like a lethal hit to me and as long as he hasn't bumped him yet I feel 6 hours is a good bit of time but like said before go slow and keep your eyes and ears peeled!

    I missed a wide short tined ten last night. I had a really small window and rushed the shot. I had a great opportunity at a follow up shot but my stand squeaked and he ran off.
    Normally I would not have tried the shot but the idea of shooting a buck the year my son was born while he is in deer camp with me just sounded to good.
    Got rained out this morning now I am refocused and ready to take a good shot on a good buck.

    I see a few of the guys on this team run the HHA King Pin sight. As soon as archery season ends, I am going to be looking to make a switch to something different. I've got a junky old Trophy Ridge 5 pin that is about shot. How do you guys like what you've got your bow topped with?

    I love my king pin. I went with the .10 and not the .19 fiberoptic.
    I love the clear sight picture a single pin offers.

    Absolutely love the king pin. Huge fan of being able to use one pin and have a clear sight picture. The tapes are pretty easy to set up as well and adjust on the fly when you need to move it in the stand for yardage. Highly recommend it.

    If you are a veteran they offer a discount. Or if not have a veteran friend buy it.

    Also if you have trouble sighting it in. alot of shops have a computer program that will create a custom sight tape after taking some measurements.

    I use the UNO app to sight in mine. Have to use a chrono and take a couple measurements but otherwise very easy to sight it in

    Got in to the family house today from Kansas to Ohio. Was going to go in and unpack and head out to the tree stand for a couple of hours before dark. Pulled in, expecting my mom to be out to greet us like usual but she wasn't outside. Walk inside and she is yelling for me, she had fallen down the basement steps. Please keep her in your prayers, don't think she broke anything but she's definitely not feeling great.

    THoughts and prayers are with her Bear I hope she heals quickly as for me I love my kingpin as well I made the switch from the react pro to the kingpin and haven't looked back once I got it set up nothing but smooth sailing. I have the dial set at 27 for hunting and I am good for any range out to about 35 yards which is plenty for where I hunt and if I need further it is an easy adjustment!
