    Them look really slick. What kind of bow are you shooting? I just got my girlfriend a Matthews Passion, it was cheaper because its an older model now that the Jewel is out. Just wondering what you as another girl is shooting.

    Are those wrapped then vaned? I have never used wraps but they look really neat when people do it. Just looks like extra work compared to just putting vanes on. The quick fletch wraps look easy but dont seem to be very customizable (not a word). I dont remember that website a lot of members on here typically use to order customized wraps and fletchings.

    This will be my first year filming my hunts. We did our turkey seasons last spring and had some sucess getting my girlfriend over a bird. I wounded my bird unfortunately.

    I will be filming my girlfriend in the early parts of the season. I am hoping to get her over a buck right away and then come later in the season she will be filming me. If she doesnt get a buck come rut, I will probably just be self filming myself since we will be in a couple different tress.

    Elite that guy is a tank. He looks like he is still putting on some mass. Hopefully you can put him on the ground come season! Welcome to the team glad to have you!

    I'll be heading up to PA in about 10 days. I will have about 4 solid days where I can scout the public land I intend to hunt. I am looking forward to the challenge.

    About two weeks until our doe opener for a month. Was shooting out to 30 yesterday with my new site and release. It took me some time to make the necessary adjustments.

    I just switched from shooting 100gr SlickTricks to 100 gr NAP killzones. So far just practice shooting I really like them. They fly so nice. Can't wait to see what they do to a deer.

    What kind of camo is everyone using? I personally use enigma camo and I love it. I was just wondering what you guys use.
