Mark,
glad to see you stopped in and are getting all pumped up for the hunt. I'd love to go to Illinois or one of the other big buck states. I guess I can't complain though. The Eastern Shore is only 2 hrs away and there's some whoppers down there. not a lot of hunters in MD and a ton of deer.
Jarrod,
I have a Benelli Super Nova. I bought it for duck hunting and it's the best shotgun I've ever owned. I've buried in mud and allI had to do was hose it off. If I hit 15 doves wit ha box of shells I'd be happy.
You're very much welcome. Now thatI have the hang of the program i can run a bunch of sims in a short amount of time.
I didn't look at the KE numbers but if you could keep the 29" DL and use a 28" arrow w/125 gryou should have higher KE than with a 29" DL and 100 gr arrow. I'll have to look at the print outs.
I was thinking about what you said about your DL. Have you ever gotten measured? If you'd like to even check it yourself you can measure your wingspan and plug the value into this site.

Even with thatIcan shoot a 29" DL with a D-loop and my current release. However, 30" is what I am more comfortable with and i guess it depends on how much you like to flex your bow arm.
The issue with what cam the system uses in confusing. The developers use solo cam for any hybrid cam bow. I'm hoping soon that they actually model the Hoyt and Bowtech hybrid and binary cams. There's a feature for the user to change the draw curve for the bow but I haven't messed with it.
As far as mosquito's go i have 1 word for you.
Thermacell
My brother and I have been using them for deck parties and we used his Saturday for dove. Even in a stiff breeze we stayed mossquitoless. It's a great product. Here's how well it worked. My brother and i both sprayed ourselves with off and the suckers were still biting in the few places we didn't spray and they were buzzing all around. Put the Thermacell out and in about 1 minute no more bites.
