    You'd be amazed how much brush you can shoot thru with that set up as long as you are shooting a good mech head with at least a 2" cut. Just thread the needle..

    I have the kind of site that you peep through right by your eye. I just look through that one and find the target. I put 2 mechanicals on 1 arrow just in case 1 fails then I have a back up.

    Make sure you get a Halon 6, HHA sight, and Carbon Express arrows - You WILL shoot the biggest buck if you have all that gear.

    I don't post much because I'm pretty new. Well... I was. After reading through 13 pages of incredible wisdom I, too, am an expert. Heck I already have a camo hat I can wear opening day. Except one question - I was wearing it yesterday while I was putting some new stickers on my truck because I'm hardcore like that. I ran out of room on the window so moved to the body, then the undercarriage. While I was under there I decided to change the oil and ended up spilling some on my brand new hunting boots I was wearing to break them in before the season. They're 6000 gram Thinsulate but I hunt down to about 45 degrees. It was hot out and I sweat a lot. Knowing how important scent control is I gave them a solid bath in dish soap and nature's bounty scented fabric softener. I realized they smelled pretty flowery so I put them outside. But knowing you can't leave your bow unattended in your yard, I figured my hunting boots were an even bigger no-no, so I put them inside my dog kennel - yep I raise champion medal winning, field proven, papered hunting Pomeranians. I know, I know, I make hillbillies look refined. Anyway, Fluffy was pregnant and ended up giving birth right inside my left boot! I can't believe it either. Blood and afterbirth all over them. I can't believe how lucky I am! I had been saving all my Grandma's old tampons so I could hang them out as scent wicks. Now I'm basically wearing a hot doe on my foot the whole time I'm hunting. Don't worry, I wrapped it in a plastic bag and set it outside so it will still be plenty fresh in 3 months. Don't want that gold mine drying out!
    So after I was done getting my boots all bagged up I decided that since hunting season is a little over 5 weeks away I probably ought to think about getting everything tuned up and ready. I have my pins set a 3, 19, 20, 28, 76, and 432 yards. It was a seven pin sight but I pulled one pin out because it was cluttering the sight picture. Besides, I've found that as long as my other 6 pins are exact I can gap shoot the rest. So my bow is ready to go.
    Went to get my camo out of the basement and found out the cellar flooded last time the septic system backed up. I pulled it out of the cardboard box and knocked the chunks off. It was a little musty so I hung it in front of a window and turned a fan on to blow over it. That's a real ozone machine right there.
    So here's my question - as I was hanging it up, I realized that I had accidentally bought my Sitka jacket in Realtree Xtra and my bibs in Realtree APG. Now I know walmart takes returns but I don't know that I can handle the embarrasment of showing up there having made that kind of mistake. I was thinking about just getting some camo duct tape and covering all of it so it matches. Is this ok? Also I was wondering if I could put some of the camo tape on my face so my face is the same pattern as the rest of my camo. Has anyone tried that?

    Tape will work on the pants, if it'll camo my blue jeans it'll recamo yours. Won't work on the face though, you'll get partway through a hunt and it'll be hanging off like a florida chad. Too much oil on the skin. They make camo spray paint for that.
