    O man, threw that one out there as a joke,lol. I’d say if we do it “Make America 8 Again”...so we don’t go super political, haha.

    logo could be some 8 year old kid smiling as he holds up a buck? I’d leave that to our graphic designer

    If that’s the name everyone wants I’ll message Brad and have him change the name.

    I've been a Ben Pearson Archery Hunting Staff member since 2016 or so, since shortly after the current owners took over the brand. They used the pic in my avatar (my 2017 buck) as a promotional shot last year.

    The bow I've used since that time is a Pearson Rhino X - a super easy shooting "comfort bow" with a dead solid back wall and a huge let-off. After I put a stabilizer, quiver, sight, and rest on it I checked the draw weight on a hanging scale. The darn bow hung there at full draw and I actually had to lift up on it to let it down. For comparison it's a lot like the top of the line Elites of the same vintage. That bow was a 60# DW at 30.5" DL ... it was actually just a touch short a draw for me.

    for this year's bow I stepped up to the Pearson Atlas S2 that the factory built for me that tops out at 62# DW and a 31" DL. The S2 cam doesn't have the 90+% let-off of the Legend cams on the Rhino but is still very manageable at and 85% let-off. That 1/2" increase in DL makes a huge difference ... for whatever reason I'd never shot a bow that was properly sized for me.

    Also using the previously mentioned QAD Exodus (went up to 125's this year) and Black Eagle Rampage arrows.

    QAD Exodus have been nothing short of great for me. Fly like darts, scary sharp, and hit right with my field points.

    My block target wont even stop an arrow anymore.

    I'm a big Oklahoma Sooner fan. I'll watch pro if it's on but I don't go out of my way.

    I've been a Pats fan since before they were any good! I grew up in the DMZ between NYC and Boston (Connecticut) where it's not at all unusual to be both a Yankees and Patriots fan.

    Boooooooo lol jk. Glad to have ya bud. I honestly quit watching sports when the kiddos came. Pretty much all my spare time goes to hunting. Whether its archery or me tinkering with stuff. Like right now I'm making aiders and doing more stuff to silence my stand ha. Is it October yet?
