I know the feeling coach, pulled out the reeds and started warming them up. :tup:

Since I got new strings and cables, and was out from shooting for a few weeks, the old Hoyt and I have not been seeing eye to eye.  Long story short, we were a bit out of tune.  After struggling a bit the other night and getting pretty frustrated,  I decided to hit the reset button on it all!

Put everything back on, Square everything up,  and put her through paper this evening.  Back to bullet holes :IBCOOL:

0530!  Time to hammer a little pavement!  Early morning runs are so peaceful.

Getting gear all squared away for today so I figured I'd post up a few packing pics.  First is food.  I take a lot of calories per day.  I have a high metabolism,  and though I can operate on fewer calories, I feel much better and much stronger if I fuel adequately.   My body runs well on this, and I don't burn out.

 Breakfast will vary, but it's usually a butt hole sandwich or like this meal, it's a cup and a quarter of granola and a  heaping scoop of vanilla protein powder.  Add water and you have protein packed granola.  Also missing is a wilderness athlete hydrate and recover drink mix, which I have with dinner.

I remove my MH from the packaging so I can fold the bags flat.  It really saves on space.  Daily rations are seperated into gallon ziplocks for easy access and to ensure I don't skimp on food.

This is basically everything that goes in the pack, whether it's an overnight trip like this weekend, or a 9 day idaho mule deer hunt.

I honestly couldn't tell you.  I buy good lightweight equipment, but more importantly I pack what I need to be comfortable and sustain me for a long hunt.  If that means a bit more weight, then I'm gonna carry it.  Let me see if I can get a weight.  Stand bye for a few.
