RE: Official Team "The Unknown Elements" (17) Thread
Hey guys, looks like I've been added to this team from the alternate list. I don't get to spend a whole lot of time on the computer, but that's because I'm in the woods. That is a good thing, right??
Anyway, a little about myself. I'm 38 years old, and this is my 27th season. Started with a bow at age 12 and since no one in my family bowhunted, or hunted much at all for that matter, I'm pretty much self-taught. I've managed to take a few over the years.
I hunt Ohio and New Jersey, mostly bow hunt, and use a compound (Mathews) and a Sky Archery recurve. I also do a little muzzleloader hunting, but mostly love bowhunting. I have a new wife and two kids as of a few months ago, and tend to work too much, but will manage to get out some this year.
Good luck to all.

Yep, that's me Todd. Can't wait to see them. Hey, since I'm a team member, can you make me the model that sprays the knock-out gas when a big buck trips it. And make the setting for tripping the spray about 140 inches P & Y. That's adjustable, like the delay setting...right?

I've been squeezing in a few minutes of practice each day for a while now, and am more than ready for Saturday's opener. Last night I matched my arrows to my Thunderheads, and have them flying dead on out to 30 yards. In fact, my Thunderheads, and field points hit on top of each other at that distance on in to 5 yards. At 40 yards, my groups open up a little to about 4 inches, but I don't shoot deer that far anyway, just practice at that distance to make the 30 yards shot seem easier.
I'm also trying spitfires this year, but they seem to fly consistently 2 or 3 inches to the right of the Thunderheads, and they have some wobble in them. The bow is paper tuned, and my arrows fly pretty with Thunderheads, but the spitfires seem to wobble. I've never used them for hunting, and only shot them for the first time the other day, but a buddy bought me a pack to try because he thinks I'm missing something by not using them. I'm not impressed.

No chit, that's pretty wild we got teamed up. Thing is I know you're too busy to hunt so you might as well turn over the Ohio hot spots to me.
2nd camera will be done this week. Part got shipped out Friday.
Here's a recent pic a buddy up north sent to me. Same setup as yours.

LOL. Now that's quite a shot. Don't worry about Ohio, I'm sure I'll make time to get out there. I have a few decent spots, but the vegetation is so thick, and not many fields, so it's tough to tell what is there. We should have a few nice ones around though.
