OK...

Best: Would have to have come in Sitka Gear...more ways to enjoy the outdoors in ALL climates. But the release by far has to be the best in increasing accuracy.

Worst : I would have to say the worst archery gadget would of had to be the Trackmaster...it went against the whole pass thru thing.

Turkey : Anyone still carry the Dead Silence ??

Best; I'll second the Thermacell... all the way.... along with a Surefire Flashlight and a good pair of binos (I have the top model Bushnell made at the time... now they are like middle of the road bushnells... but still a big improvement over $100 glass). I invest in several good books every year that keep me entertained in the stand and keep me sitting still and in place.

Worst; Deer calls (except for the can calls... they work).... deer scents.... cover scents.... scent-lok.....

Worst: Lumeknoks--they worked for maybe one shot and then never worked again not worth the 9.99 for on it is bull...

wasent there some kinda tracking line that tied onto your arrow and when you shot you just followed the string? That was a real bright idea (sarcasim) Overdraws, bodoodles, and those things that replace fletching and pop off when the arrow goes through the deer.
Best- Rage broadheads, and the hostage pro rest, The can
