RE: Some pics from opening day,sorry, no deer
So far I love it.
I had a hen turkey under and around my stand for about 20 minutes or so. She never knew I was there. I moved around some for yher to see me but then when she would look for me, she couldn't see me.
I am going ML hunting Sat-Mon this week so I should be able to give it some deersposure too.
3 days of hunting in a row! Whoooooooo Hoooooooo!

b. hunter or anyone else for that matter. Why do you shoot with your odd fletching down? This is my first year with a whisker biscuit and the guy at the archery shop told me to shoot with it facing up. Does this even matter?
Thanks
Thanks

The bow is a Mathews Switchback
I shoot cock feather down because it clears my sight better that way.
The arrows shoot fine that way but that is with feathers. I don't know if vanes would or not since the black bristles are supposed to be stiffer than the brown ones. It works fine for me though.

Very cool pictures. I enjoy seeing pictures of other setups...question then follows, what did your hunting partner think of the camo, especially after the hen couldn't find you?

No wonder you didnt see any deer!!!
All that movement, taking all those pictures...tsk tsk.
Jk jk, nice shots. I am taking my digital SLR into the woods with me on opening day, maybe be able to get a few shots for everyone.
Looks like you were having fun, and that is what matters most.
