I sat through Chuck Adams' 1st talk - ended up being just a Q&A session, but was very interesting. Some of the highlights:

Adams says 1) shoot longer bows (37+ ATA) 2) research outfitters completely 3) release make for better shooting 4) Coues deer (pronounce COWS) is the hardest big game to bowhunt (for him) in NA 5) only practice every other day 6) doesn't like carbon arrows at all 6) this was the first in 11 years he did not bag an elk 7) not concerned with speed 8) and much more.

Real interesting stuff. I could of bought 2 of his books and got autographed for $40, but they were a bit big to carry in the woods, where I would have wanted to read them. They looked interesting. Has anyone read his autobiography and/or the book about his grand slam?? If so, did I make a mistake in not buying??
