    I could tell by your arrows. I’m a fan also. He’s the reason I went to the Black Hornet Ser Razors.He’s also the reason I messed with my FOC and I shoot the EZV sight. Lol

    How do you like those? I bought a set last year and don’t really care for them. I don’t really care for my lone wolf sticks either though lol. Thinking of trying muddys

    For the price you can’t beat them, especially in setups where you want to leave them on the tree. Not much loss if stolen. They are sturdy, the straps aren’t as good as XOPs. Downfall is they are noisy , no good way to stack them quietly, they will eventually rust. If you buy def rap them in camo tape or something to dampen vibration. But good economical buy. I am 200 lbs and they hold me fine

    Yay!!! Did you have to buy them? I’m messing with my arrows. Giving them an orange paint job. I’ve been Orange four fletch for years, more than I can remember and I liked how your arrows looked with that white under the fletching so I stripped three arrows and I’m giving them and orange paint job and then I’ll reflect them.

    No the manufacture sent a set of 4. Now I can place stands and get the ball rolling. Send some pics when you are done with your arrows

    Food for thought, another reason I like arrow wraps, I noticed today while practicing that one of my wraps was torn/split towards the nock. So I looked on the end after pulling it out and the arrow was starting to split. So per tradition I shot that sucker up in a tree

    Makes me happy to see so many active people on my team this year. Sorry I haven't been one of them. I am checking the forums but only getting time to do so about once or twice a week. As the season gets closer, I'll be able to contribute more. I'm going to try and get out to check camera's this week and do more scouting for a new spot. I do have a second piece of land I'm going to try and hunt with a buddy. I'll be going to scout it out the weekend of the 14th and will probably put a camera out there. If anything turns up on my cams, i'll post them.

    One of my spots cooled down a bit wasn’t getting many pictures so I put in a mock scrape, I think it was Wednesday now I’m getting more pictures.. my camera is too far away from it though, I can’t tell if they are buck or doe. Night pictures mostly.

    OHbowhunter checking in! I'm Joe and primarily hunt Ohio and also some in Missouri. I'm actually currently heading out to our farm in Missouri for some final pre season preparations and will be out there in about 2 hours.

    Once I get there I'll get caught up on the team thread.
