    I haven't really had time, been working a lot to pay for the wedding we just had. Last shot in March. Got at least month before I'll hit the woods, hence getting the stuff out now. I have to drive a ways to shoot, and just haven't had the time lately. Luckily had enough cabela's points to buy a new one. Should get it in a few days.

    It's probably with your safety harness... Or maybe with your target? I keep mine with my bow for quick practice. My ohter hunting stuff is keep upstairs in a tote. I know you can find it. Unless you moved recently, then all bets are off.

    I usually hang mine on my rear view mirror in my truck, otherwise I attach it to my bow every time.

    Always nice to have a second release around.... Sure you'll find it but probably wouldn't hurt to have an extra one...

    I even keep a spare cheap realtree release in my glovebox... Seems like I end up using it once or twice a year because my primary release is MIA when I get to the field...

    Yeah, I'm sure I'll find it eventually, but I've checked everywhere! I usually keep it in my fanny pack with the rest of my essentials (head lamp, flashlight, knife, etc). I dug through my harness, clothes, bow, car trunk, totes, drawers, garage... My wife is actually asking when deer season starts, as she's ready for some more venison. She's almost more excited than myself.

    Not a bad idea, except I hang my bow and have no case. Maybe I should get one of them.

    Found it. I decided to take up the cover for my spare tire, and there she was. Hiding way in the back between the seats and the board. Now I have two... just won't tell the wife..

    This, in fact, I strap it to the limb on the bow...they are always together and never apart unless it's on my wrist.
