Getting ready for Denton Hill and trying to hit my buddies nocks. Sooo I have a hanging nock, shot from 12 yds with my old grizzly. I guess they don't have anything to worry about;) I got it but it took 5 shots. Have a great weekend everyone. Jim

Did a walk-back 10,15,20,25,30 yrds. Pulled on the 20 yrd. Might have got the juggler vein. Deer is 1/4ing away between 2 trees. Used my 51# Predator with Herritage 250s. Not to bad for being hot and humid already.

Well yesterday I surrounded the balloon 5 times from standing at 40 yards, so today I tried kneeling at 25 yards and as you can see, no balloon. Shooting the Bear, Bear combo again. Have a nice evening and a good tomorrow. Lance.

Nice shooting everybody! I thought I'd go with a 30 yard FS today. Not bad considering the guy behind the bow.

Good evening folks, it's 7:16pm here and I just did my shot. I forgot all about it after I got busy finishing another knife sheath for a friend. I shot from my porch at a slightly angled approach. A little forward of where I wanted it. Shooting my 50# Montana that's been hanging for months. I just couldn't get it to work for me. Anyway, I started playing with the brace some more and the nock point and once I hit a b/h of 6-3/4 it settled right in. No hand shock, quiet and points in the right direction. I think I'll keep it after thinking of getting rid of it since the day I got it. I hope that you all had a nice weekend and have a safe week. Lance.
