Do you and Yooper share a birthday? Happy Birthday both of you.

Back to the top!

Archery starts September 15th here in Mn, followed by shotgun on Nov 3rd, and Muzzleloader, Nov 24th.

The power tec is ok,when i first shot this bow i fell in love with it. After awhile the more i shot it the less comfortable i felt shooting it. When i tried it out at the proshop they had a string loop on the bow - which is ok but i had never used one before, i always liked hooking up directly to the string. So i bought the bow and decided I wanted to take the loop off of it but shortly realized it only goes up to a 29 in draw length - With my old bow I was set at 30 1/2 and was very comfortable. So I was forced to keep the loop on to extend my drawlength a bitand I think thats where my insecurities come from. But other than that its been a great bow - accurate, quiet and very smooth to shoot.so a long story short I think I will be trading up in the near future. I have the bow maxed out at 70lbs, I am shooting Beeman Ics 400 arrows with 100 gr tips. Chronoed at the shop at 276 fps.

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

FF/EMT: You are always better off with a loop IMO because that puts your release directly behind the arrow, eliminating any nock pinch and string torque. I would definitely recommend you looking into getting a different bow if you can swing it, to get one in your real draw length. Using the loop to adjust teh draw length is ok for a temporary thing, but you will greatly improve your shooting if you have a bow that fits you better. I'm guessing you could get rid of your power tec pretty easily, and get into a Bowtech! J/K, I shoot Bowtech,l so I always push that way.

This is for the evening shift,hopefully you won'thave to scroll 2 or 3 pages to find us.

So did we decide on a name then?
Rifle season in minnesota also starts on nov. 3rd...
But like ff/emt i am probably going to be trading in my bow this coming year and getting a new one.... more than likely another hoyt.... but i will see what hoyt comes out with this year.... but i am going to set up a stand and set out my camera again so i will be on a lil later again

I'm going to be doing my homework a little better this time - I told myself I'm done with the brand loyalty and I'm gonna find something that I'm 100% confident with, so the bowtech hasn't been scratched off the list yet.

Any of you guys use a "no peep" or similar device? I used one last year, just wondering if you guys had any thoughts on it.

Morning guys, spoke with a friend last night and he put me on to a guy that has some AMAZING property, and no one to hunt with. How sad...for him! So, today I should be talking to this guy and getting permission to hunt his land. It is across the county road from a public hunting area, basically a sanctuary, and only this landowner hunts it. I'm so pumped!

Glad to hear it Yooper.

This is kinda like what I was talking about with using the 30 to make a bow and target. But get someone with skill to use a real bow drawing and etc. Just a thought.
