    I had planned to shoot tonight, but work ran long and I'm worn out. I got time tomorrow evening. I want to stretch out to 40 yards and see how the broadheads are flying. Always nervous to shoot that first broadhead at 40, don't want to miss. I have a log pile behind my target, it's pretty hard on broadheads! Haha

    Lol i shot 30 with my broadheads tonight, was going to push it to 40 but I usually try to keep all my shots on deer with 40. I practice out to 80 yards but would never shoot a deer that far

    Hey guys, looking forward to a good season!
    Chad from Iowa checking in. I’m 52 and only picked up bow hunting about 6 years ago.

    While I work in the tech industry, we have a family farm and have enjoyed doing more habitat work with my father.

    Last night was hanging stands and videoed this fella walking right up to me.

    "Fifteen-Arrow Alliance"
    "Quiver of 15"
    "15th Shot Syndicate"
    "XV Precision Hunters"

    Thanks! We start Oct. 1. So I’m finishing up our farm projects this week, and then we’ll let things rest for a month. On our farm, bucks usually don’t start showing up until mid September.

    Sounds good to me! I've been doing this competition for a very long time and haven't won it yet! Hopefully this year is the year. My team used WhatsApp last year and it was great texting the team while hunting. I wouldn't be opposed to do that again if everybody is interested.

    Yeah, I have be in second place I think twice now. lol Hopefully this is the year which I have only been doing it for 4 years. Our team last year just did a group text. Everyone just sent me their number through here and I just started a group text with everyone. I'm not opposed to doing a group text or chat.

    A bit about me… I FINALLY live in the property I hunt so I’m hoping to get out a bit more this year. I SHOULD be good for a doe but nothing but a small buck and a spike on cam so far although the big ones normally don’t show up here till just before the rut. Pictures are the only buck I got on camera so far and my best deer to date so far that I got in velvet on Labor Day in 2018. IMG_2623.JPG IMG_0997.JPG
