RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
Ok guys....I'm in! Got pulled off the Alt list to replace someone who didn't check in. Too bad for him, after reading all post looks like we have a pretty good team. I've chatted with a couple of you in the past year or so.
I'm 45, my name is Mark and I live in Gloucester Va (near Williamsburg). I've been bowhunting for about 25 years, but not all of them successful. Last year was one of the more successful with 4 bow kills and 2 BP kills. Of the six, only one was a buck (7 pt) killed on public land. I have access to 1500 acres in the Virginia mountains that we are at the beginning phase of managing for trophy bucks. Last year the state gave us 50 doe tags to cull the heard and we self imposed an 8 pt or better rule. That's why I have 5 doe kills. Besides my freezer getting full, we donated most to Hunters for the Hungry. Our group only harvested 4 bucks off the property last year and have already been seeing some monsters this year.
Besides the 1500 acre tract, I hunt Fort AP Hill which has some mighty fine bucks roaming around. Plus, I put in for a draw for a Natl Wildlife Refuge hunt. That's where I shot the 7pt last year.
Season starts October 6th.

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
Ahhh, talk about relaxation. I just let about 50 arrows fly in the backyard. If we could score a McKenzie, we'd be in the lead for this contest. The Switchback is shooting great from the ground. Last year I was practicing from the roof, but my son, the arrow chaser, joined the Navy and I'm having alittle trouble convincing my wife to pull arrows and hoist them up to me. Any ideas?
Hope everyone is remaining getting some practice in, or am I the only one who waits a before the season starts to practicing

Great job on the avatar........Got some nasty weather in no. Illinois yesterday, lots of flooding & 300,000 homes w/o power. Tons of downed trees. Skeeters are probably going to be brutal during early part of the season here.

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
That looks good too Eric but what would a complete arrow look like instead of just the broadhead bringing the flatline? But I'm not picky and could care less. I appreciate you working on this for us.
Anyone else have any input? We need to get this thing going.
