Default What to buy??

Ok, You wiley old veterans. I sold my "back-up" bow last night. So now I have an extra $300 that if I don't roll over into some hunting supplies, it will just vanish into the abyss of bills and day to day living expenses.

So I ask what do you buy when you have it all.. I know you older guys know what I'm talking about. I have range finders, plenty of stands, warm camo, cold camo, scentlok, gps units, game cams...etcetc.

I can always use some more arrows and some more muzzy MX4's. But then I'm stuck.. You guys are usually pretty good at spending other peoples money so let's hear it!

A bowtech tribute?!

Sorry, I am a recent convert, so now it is my duty to spread the gospel.

Seriously, why not put it towards a elk hunting trip next year?

Buy an Artic Cat 4 wheeler to drag you big buck out.

I know $300 won't cover it but could be a down payment.

I am by no means a veteran but I have a suggestion. Why not buy some food processing equpiment.

I guess you have that too.

You'd better save it for gas to get you back and forth from your hunting spot. That could blow the whole $300!!!! Maybe a few hunting videos to get you in the mood. Primos are my favs.

Make yourself self sufficient, if you don't have a bow press, a fletch jig, arrow saw, laser tuner and levels, serving tools, chronograph, etc..etc...you'll be glad you have one. Start creating your own shop at home.

If you dont' have a range finder I highly suggest getting one. I love mine. After that some really good arrows would be a nice idea. And if you don't already have them, a quality string and harness for your bow.

Or you could spend the money on lessons

Actually no..and thats a good Idea!

Rob, while that sounds good,
Arrows I could handle..the bow tweaking is better left to the pro's, and since i have a nice friendly& knowledgablebowshop within a mile of my house, running down there is pain free.

Paul, have a range finder..would love lessons..but they might tell me to buy a gun..

Thanks Guys
