ORIGINAL: BOWHUNTINGisLIFE

Best: Hoyt Bow, Buck Growl, SentBlocker Suit, Vita Rach 26, CX Maximas, Rage Broadheads

Worst: Stealth 40mm Trail Cam, Cabelas Carbon Arrows, Cabelas Bow Target, G5 broadheads


Thats a suprise.... I'll be the first to admit that for a mechanical I think the Rage is as good a design as anything.... but if your worst was a G5.... what can go wrong with a Montec or a Striker??.... heck all a Tekan II is anyway is a rage with less cutting diameter and a fixed 5/8" head at the front. Or did you just have a bad attack of inaccuracy and blamed it on the broadhead? ;)

Best: Summit self climbing tree stand, Thermacell, Thompson Center Encore w/ Nikon BDC 250 scope.

Worst: Knight & Hale buck grunt, A gun sling that slides over the barrel ( It works good as a sling, but too bad you can't see the sights when a deer walks by.)

My wife's engagement ring..[&:]
Would that be best or worst? Does she know you consider it a gimmick? And how is that remotely considered hunting related?

My favorite so far is my No Flash Cuddeback. I'm like a kid with that damn thing!!:D

The worst thing I've purchased would be a couple different $300.00 pair of boots I've bought at Cabelas to use in the mountains. I don't spend no more then $60.00 on a pair of boots now and they work and last much better then the spendy high buck name stuff.
