I wish I was 23 instead of 43 yo

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!

Ummm yeah.  I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.  I would NEVER do such a thing as forget my gun, I mean release.......... :brew: :bash: :P

Probably true about the age thing, I just wish it didn't take so long to get my sh!t together. I would of been so much more successful. I'm shooting ics elite Dekuma (.001 straight) with the g5 broadheads. I spun test the crap out of them until perfect & returned ones that wobbled. When I shoot from 50 or 60 yards I actually think my broad heads fly better and more stable than my field tips. I'm hitting a 5 inch circle with broadhead consistently from 50 & 60 yards and that is great shooting for me. I quit drinking a few years ago so if I forget my release at home its from Alzheimer's.

I am going to have to get after it here shortly and get it worked out.  Appreciate the advice.
If you forget your release, you better learn how to shoot fingers real quick!  I am looking forward to your pics!!

I am prepared too as far as my gear is concerned. I, however, have no idea where I am going to hunt.  :o I have my camera out right now hoping to pin down the travel lanes of a certain buck. If he uses the ones my cam is on, then its game on.

There's nothing wrong with being in your 20's I just pack an extra release so when I'm out all night the night before chasing girls I am covered!!  The best of both worlds!!  I've been on the stair climber with a 45lb lead vest getting ready.  Sept 8th isn't coming soon enough for me, but you guys have me worrying about my bow with all of this tuning stuff.  It is shooting good so don't fix it if it aint broke?  Good luck to all.  I'm ready NOW!

I am driving tacks right now out to 30 yards, but need more room to get any longer range.  My daughter just bet me I could not shoot the slug off the target from 20 yards.  I showed her!  Not sure I like the slime on my arrows though!

Went out shooting today at a buddy's 3d course. First target, bear standing up at 50 yards, right in the 2" circle. Hopefully I can do that when a deer or elk is standing there.

Did you double lung the slug ? What kind of blood trail ? Glad your dialing in, I had to fix up my center of target and bails of hay behind because I had punched it all out with my bullseyes. My arrows started to about go through, burying right up to fletching. First time ever I can get back to 60 yards and hit a four inch circle consistently with broad heads. Keep up the dialing in and fun. My wife and kids are getting tired of my practicing, nobody will play with me any more. They say " Like dad we know you are excited... Hello "

No blood trail needed.  Right through the back and DRT.
My kids say the same thing.  I am driving them crazy!
