With gun season open here,I hadn't shot my compound in a while, so I took it out in the middle of the day today... and shot some of my best groups ever, surprisingly... however, what I was thinking the whole time was, I'll bet the HNI guys would get a good kick out of hearing the name of my bow... if any of them remember it... although modern compared to recurves and longbows, my "Hoyt/Easton Ram Hunter II" is certainly far from the latest in technology!!! More like a stick with squeaky wheels! However, you have to make due with what you have, and what I had when I bought it was $50 and a yardsale to go to... sooner or later, more money will come, along with faster arrows, sharper broadheads, tighter groups, and what matters- the same amount of fun I have now.

on another note, it was nice to fill the freezer today, my brother and i both took does within five minutes of each other 10 minutes after leaving the truck on a few short drives with the slugguns here in SE PA...

good post Jeff. another thing I would add about this forum is how positive everyone is to each other for the most part. I also fish offshore, and am part of a large forum dedicated to that. If you think we have negativity/disagreements here, try checking out that realm! One of my favorite things here is how uplifting and encouraging everyone is here!
