Just up the road from me, less than an hour drive. The upper Hudson Gorge is pretty cool.:cool:

Thanks Andy. I'm hearing mixed reports on the black flies, it has been dry which limits where they can breed and keeps their numbers down. They never get too bad around here; misquitoes were starting...

He's down:

Stills from the video, first jake and a hen:

Here he comes from the left:...

Took this jake yesterday with my 10 year old Martin Altitude, shot was close and I got it on video with a bow mounetd camera. The two jakes went by, then only decided to come in after one of the two...

Thanks Dean. Draw length is a little over 28", haven't noticed any stacking with X-200. At 60", I like it for hunting turkeys from my blind, the hunter might be too long to maneuver much. The Bowjax...

Been shooting single arrows a lot lately to simulate hunting sitiuaitons, but I still shoot some groups. Released my last arrow the other day and heard the crack and saw pieces of nock go flying. I...

Sling for me. Really need it for close range shots from a treestand.;)

Awesome story.:cool: Thanks for sharing, reminds me how lucky I was to spend a lot of time my grandfather growing up.

Made a couple changes with the X-200. First, I went from 100 to 125 grain points for a little more FOC and weight; arrows are now 455 grains and hit the target with a thump. Have some 125 Magnus...

My 2009 Moab was damaged, along with my truck; fortunately both can be repaired and are covered by insurance. Bow was in the back seat and ended up out the window; damage was only the lower limb,...

I like 1 piece wood recurves, grew up shooting them. Starting to shoot my Martin recurves after a year of (re)learning form on a vintage(1968, same year I was born) Bear Tartar, 28# @ 28"; this bow...

Like others stated, start out light to get your form right, then you can work up in weight. I started shooting a 28# Bear Tartar(1968) last Spring, just moved up to a 40# X-200 and I'm can shoot it...

Thanks guys.

I really like the Darkhorse blind, easy to set up, and the winows are perfect with the opening in the front and rest blacked out, but the 4 shooting ports open easily to shoot out the...

Spent the first four days of the Kansas season hunting Rio Grande turkeys on public land. Missed a nice tom that circled around my dekes opening morning, shot just under him; then took a jake that...

Drawing 55 to 65# may not be a problem, but learning to shoot with proper form will be nearly impossible or at the least very difficult. I shot recurves and longbows as a youth over 25 years ago,...

Its the opposite for me, I only hunt with my bows and want a rest that cradles the arrow so it can't fall off, but never really needed micro adjustments.

These loons returned early this winter or they never left, found them while ice fishing late last month; third one in the background:

This is our Spring:

Nice finds. Been wanting to go here, but we got a bunch of snow last week, was almost to bare ground before that. The biggest buck I had on cam had dropped before 12/25 last year, the smaller bucks...

I thought you had one Hutch; don't see many used ones come up for sale any more.

Just started some paper tuning, forgot that this bow likes the nock set close to 0(still get a slightly high tear),...

Pretty sure it's just paint.

Passed through the shoulder blade and into the vitals, down in 30 yds; that's why I like small broadheads.

Thanks.

While I was swapping everything over I couldn't help but wonder how the M-pro cam would be on the Altitude: its a little bigger, so would give a little more brace height, nice to have on a short ATA...

I always like to have a backup bow ready to go during hunting season, especially while on a trip. Needed it for the first time last Fall in Ohio when I noticed a small split in the upper limb of my...
