i say that without this site, i might not be the hunter that i am....it REALLY did help me a ton with the learning curves.

first i learned about buying, operating, using, cleaning etc a flintlock rifle. some of them guys on the blackpowder forum REALLY know their stuff!

and i also owe my bowhunting to this site. i was able to make smart buying decisions, learn the ropes, how to shoot, setup, tune, etc etc from this site. i got into bowhunting and archery pretty much on my own...noone really able to help...but the guys on this site definently did...had me outshooting my buddy within a couple weeks and he been into archery alot longer than i have...

also bowhunting and deer hunting in general...i am/was a big time rifle hunter. usually drivers or if i was on stand it was in a thicket or funnel relying on the pressure of other hunters to send deer through my escape route i was watching or into the thicket i was on the edge of. scent control didnt matter...tried hunting the wind most of the time...but by the time they realized i was there, it was all too late for them. never hunted from a treestand till i started bowhunting...didnt know a whole lot about DEER hunting honestly...hunting deer in rifle season in PA is A TON different from hunting them in october when they are on a much more natural movement...

ive learned a ton....heck, the guys in the offseason diagnose my truck problems and are almost always right!

just a great place with some really great people that are very helpful
