Default RE: Game Tracker

I' ve been using tracking strings for over 10 years and have a few tips for using them(trial & error thing). Always shoot a few times with a new spool. A new spool seems to be wound real tight at the begining but a couple of shots will get rid of this. Another thing I always do is practice with the string from an elevated position, similar to my stand height. This alows me to fine tune my sights with the string on the arrow. I have mine mounted next to my sites with a bracket I bought from game tracker. It puts the spool about 3-4 inches away from the arrow. I recomend this mount because you have less string blowing around to get caught on stuff while sitting in your tree. I recomend these things to all my buddies. The last couple deer I' ve shot have been at the end of the string or within 20 yards!
