    I have gotten to the point where I am done going to the games, I can sit at home and watch it on the big screen.

    Why does EVERY single shot that's discussed on film/ print that's not ideal always be ( farther back then intended).
    Does anyone hit one " to far forward"" ??

    Yes, but it is not as big of deal as far as attention is concerned, because too far forward is a brisket shot and those shots are survivable.

    I shot one too far forward once smacked that buck in the should blade sounded like I hit him with a hammer. I had my bow turned up to 11 with my piledriver arrow and a 125 grain rage titanium while I did not get a pass thru of the other should blade it did cut his throat and he was down in less than 100 yards.

    Nobody ever said I wish I did not shoot that buck so hard.

    Yes, thus the reason the Ranch Fairy came into existence. Show me someone that uses a 700 grain arrow and I'll show you someone that has smacked a shoulder before. It does not take a ton of arrow weight to go through the guts.

    But I know what you're saying, it does seem like a lot of videos with a bad shot are almost always too far back. Perhaps they have smacked the shoulder enough times that they're gun shy to hold tight to the shoulder anymore?

    First Lite clothes.
    Last October, I bought a set of Furnace base layers.. they were spending.

    Wore the 4 or 5 times and the elastic band stretched so much they are unwearable.
    I filed a warranty claim.
    They said they will not replace as it's considered " wear n tear".

    What horrible customer service!.
    They were kind enuff to give me 30% off a new one though:violin:.

    I will never buy another thing from them.
    Hope you fellas don't either.

    I drove my Dad to Ikea today to pick up bookshelves he ordered, then we had to go to the Plant to get a door and frame and a sheet of OSB. Then lunch at Denny's, love my Dad and appreciate spending time with him but today was the yearly right to know meeting for all employees. I trust my safety guy but I really have to be there to answer policy questions. If I am not there HR will get involved in answering possible sensitive questions, I do not trust HR.

    Had a doctor jam a needle into my foot today to numb it, then remove glass. Holy hell that hurt. Beers imminent.

    I had already taken out two pieces myself over the last couple months. He removed another today and believes that is the last of it. Climbing on those sticks hurt like heck this season. Haha
