I came here to tell a great story, I hunt public land with a recurve from the ground. My usually natural blinds were completely defoliated from winter wind so I had nowhere to hide. It was getting late so I found a clump of 5 tree trunks growing close together. I got right in the middle of...

3 new never shot. 35 tyd. Youtube.com/chestthumperoutdoors

In my younger days, I hunted with a compound and almost always from 16+ feet up a tree. They never saw me that high. Loved the view, being able to see deer coming in and watching the squirrels in the distance. Occasionally, I'd set-up in a pop-up tent blind with windows. Effective. I shot a...

I just made the German spruce woodies i'm shooting. I'm going to hunt with stone points this year. I have my points made and the point weight is matched within 3 grains of my 125gr tips on these arrows. I am practicing at 18 yds here which will be my max hunting yardage. Stone point accuracy...

Has anyone built a tree stand or tower for their 3D course? I am concerned about the safety and liablilty issue of a tree stand and a tower doesn't really simulate it properly. Wondering what you all have tried.

Can anybody help ID this tree?

Hey guys I'm really hoping you can help. I shot all summer and up until last Sunday have been shooting great to 25 yards. I use a 20-yard fixed crawl and consistently shoot softball size or smaller groups at 25 yards. Unfortunately I never took the time to practice from an elevated position. On...

One of four. Oh how I love them.

I talked to a guy from Oak Tree Gun Club who told me that the plan to run the IBO West Coast Trad at their course fell through. I heard it is going to be up north, somewhere in the Bay area. Anybody know the course where it will take place? I am trying to make sure I have the days off in place...

How many guys hunt out of them? Can you still get them? I heard of Trophyline, but was told they don't make em like they use to. Is it worth trying one of these things, and do your legs fall asleep using one?

Finished up the Tree Roots recurve today and prepared it for its new owner and she loved it! It is always such a big pay off to see a customers face light up when they hold their new bow in their hands for the first time.

So I have a few herniated discs in my lower back and am looking for the most comfortable fixed position hang on tree stand (not a ladder stand). Something comfortable to sit in for hours and easy to stand up out of without a lot of excess movement. I'm looking closely at the Lone Wolf Alpha...

In the depths of winter (-30C today) we get to hankering for outdoor activities. We shoot twice each week in a school gym and try to keep things interesting my creating 3D challenges that mimic field and hunting conditions. Last night, I was shooting from a chair and thinking, wouldn't it be...

With my mountain lion hunt right around the corner, I was curious what the best way is to maintain correct form when shooting at extreme upward angles. Do I draw normal and then bend at the waist or draw in the upward position? I know there was a thread on this awhile back but can't find it...
