Default what new product are you using and what do you think.

What new stuff or gadgets are you using and what are your thoughts on your brand or model.

I bought a glendale full rut. I love it easy arrow pull. Seems like it will hold up well. Easy to move and setup.
I bought the combo kit with the bushnell scout 1000 arc with the binos and the knife. The rangefinder works real well though it seems to go about 2 to 4 yards off at short distances. It says it is +-1 yard. The binos seem good and the knife is nice though could be alittle out of the box sharper.
I bought the gerber gator 2 like it real sharp and a nice knife for less then 50 bucks.

Thats about it i know reading what fellow members think about products help alot so i thought this might help some.

NO bow hunting setup is complete without some kind of scent killer porduct line. I used the normal cheap stuff from walmart scent a way i think the two does i shot at last sunday where both up wind and did not know i was there. But i use the clothes soap then a dry sheet than in a container till i get in the wood. I then spray down with scent killer head to toe each layer and then spray my boots in and out. I will even spray down again when i am in my stand. Heck when i get scent loc i should be able to stand right on top of them

Ill go 100% the other way with that statement

Anyways... Im using a thermacell this season. Loving the thing so far. Its one of the best working as advertised products that I believe I have ever used. No gimmicks with the thermacell. Makes hunting a lot less frustrating. Not a necessity, but DEFINATELY a comfort that I will try and have with me whenever its warmer out.

Other than that... Same ol same ol... Bow, stand, and work.

I started using lumenoks last year and I love them. It was very cool to watch where my arrow hit my buck last year and watch it hit and disappear. Made it easy to find my arrow since it was a pass through from 40 yards away and in some tall grass.

Bought some new undergarments last Friday, wow, what a difference those make. It was WAY cooler than I expected, so I had to make an emergency run to Presley's and get some new stuff. Other than that, pretty much same stuff. Got some new raingear in transit, but no reviews on that yet.

I changed from my old WB to the Limb Driver rest by Vapor Trail and let me tell you brother..... that thing is the Bee's Knee's!! I grouped pretty good before, but now I'm driving nails. And the only time I have to re-fletch an arrow is when I start slapping them together in my target and accidentally get into one with a FP or BH... and I can tell a pretty good difference in speed as well.... awesome rest for sure...

My wife got me a early B-day present & since I've been bowhunting 53 years she said I had everything EXCEPT a trail cam (never used one in all these years).
Moultri & it's great. This was on it about a week b/4 season & NOW my Daughter says it's HER BUCK. her 2nd year & never drawn on a Deer yet. I "think" this is one I passed on last year. Her & I have BOTH been down with bad cold so maybe we will get out this weekend.

Last year i started using Tinks power scrape-mock scrape starter. Ive messed around with mock scrapes for years now and this product has worked very well for me.
