RE: What changes have you made?
I have made no real changes this year but maybe I should! I've read how some guys have gone from shooting with just one eye open, to two and shoot more accurately! If I were to start shooting with both eyes open will this throw me off initially or will I shoot better from the start? I've never even tryed it. This type of change almost scares me.

1. Bought two new parallel limb bows.
2. Boughtthe Black Gold Radiant sight with skycoil technology; itis exciting to me as it provides bright pins at legal light; blows any sight I have ever seen away.
3. New climbing sticks so I can be more of a portable hunter. HCH

RE: What changes have you made?
Great question. Until this year, I haven't touched a bow since 1998 (graduated college, got married, got a real job, left the real job for a better job). But, this year I decided to get back into the sport:
1. I purchased a Mathews Switchback XT and 100% new accessories. (old bow was a PSE Nova)
2. I switched from Easton Aluminum XX75 arrows to Gold Tip Pro Hunter 5575 Carbons.
3. I dropped the Tube Peep for a Tubeless Peep.
4. Got rid of Cat Whiskers and use an STS.
5. Switched from Rocky Mountain Broadheads to COC Wasp Sharp Shooters.
6. Became active in the best site for hunters on the internet: huntingnet.com.
It has been a great year so far. I won't be hunting in Maryland due to that lack of time for preparation of scouting land, etc. Instead I am flying back to Wisconsin for 9 days to hunt the ruton my family's property.
