    Are you talking about the little clip on the shoulder strap? That little clip on the shoulder area for binos and calls and such pulled out at the seam on my 3rd walk into the woods...hooked it on a branch as I walked by. I was willing to scratch that up to Murphy.

    Just to be clear, I was talking about the big main front buckle. The male end prong broke through normal use and is no longer safe.

    Going to Tree Spider for this season.

    What's wrong with a hip quiver?

    I still have a String Tracker and like it for turkeys.

    Over Draws have been around for over 500 years. They started in China.

    I bought a cheap digital bow scale, pulled back on it and it shattered, shot forward and destroyed my Ripcord arrow rest and cut me on the hand.

    LOL... I remember this. Always wondered why it was needed... though I can think of a few people who could use one...

    But think of those ideas that were so simple they were genius... like string loops and peep sights.

    I would have to say fusion vanes noisy and won't stick to the shaft. Waste of money and time.

    I've had good success with Scent Blocker clothing.
    Sorry you haven't.

    Not saying your wrong, but as a youth hunter have you had enough experience to know that it doesn't work? I'm on my 4th season and I think it performs pretty well. Of course I haven't had enough encounters to know if it doesn't work or does. What hasn't worked for you about them?

    Scent Blocker might not eliminate scent but if it even reduces it by a modicum, I'll take any edge I can. There's still no substitute for playing the wind as much as possible.
