I have never been so prepared for archery season.
« on: August 15, 2008, 02:56:24 PM »
I have never had my sh!t together like I do now, I wish I was 23 instead of 43 yo. I am shooting my new Mathews out to 60 yards like a madman. Shot my G5's today and they fly great out to 60 yards ( same impact as field points). Calling is sounding better & purchased my Montana elk decoy. Have my honey hole all lined up, and drew my area for any bull. After taking my 4x3 mulie last year my confidence has never been higher. Purchased extra camo, have the whole two weeks off for whole Sept elk/deer season. Really feel like this is my year, my planets are lining up. Going to spend every minute possible up on my ridge. Now just need to execute. Wish me luck (never hurts) and good luck to everyone out there bow hunting. Mike (obviously excited)

Don't forget to take your target to camp so you can shoot a couple shots each day.  You don't want to waste all that preparation by having bad form when the shot finally comes.  Good luck this season!

Dad once told me "You can never be too prepared" I am sure you are more prepared than if you were 23!

Good luck this season!  This will be my first bow season and hopefully my first deer period.  I feel I'm well prepared.  I'm shooting well, got my spot picked out, and going to put my blind up next weekend.  The next couple weeks are going to be murder!

After all of your earlier bow issues, you deserve to go knock them dead!  Keep us posted!

I am glad that I am not the only one losing sleep.  I cannot wait for September 1st.  I found a 32" mule deer on our place that has my name all over it.  Pray for sweltering heat on Sept 1st - if he lays in the "death chamber" I will be posting a pic for you guys!  Good luck to all!

So I was a little excited yesterday, watching my g5's fly from 50 yards got my motor running. Sorry Banwalker I was only thinking of myself when I posted. Maybe I should of posted " I'm all ready, who needs help". If I can help out Banwalker in any way let me know, that goes to anyone else. I'm not planning on deer hunting until the 8Th eastern, so if someone needs help that first week let me know. I'll drive. Glad you have your deer picked out jjhunter, must be nice. I hunt elk & a mulie is a bonus in my area,  so I don't have my deer picked out. I do love my area. Thanks for all the good wishes and I'll do my best. Mike

Want to come get mine sighted in now too?  :bash:
I love this single pin sight for targets, but seems to be a bit of a pain for sighting in.  Not sure about the Crimson Talons I am using.  Even with FOBs they are not hitting well.  Hit better with Blazers on Beman MFX shafts, but still not satisfied.  Running out of time.  Maybe I should quit going after bear so much and focus on getting ready!

No you don't! Cause if you were 23 and this prepared you would stay up too late the night before you left drinking and chasing girls and then forget your release or your arrows at home!

Oh and if you are wondering? it wasn't me, it was a friend of mine!
