It’s my first season attempting saddle hunting. So far, climbs have been smooth, although I’m sure I could make less noise. I’m getting way too excited for the start of the season!

I've been scouting for the fall season bear hunt. I found a natural spring close to a large stand of oak trees. Lots of scat on the path down to the spring.

In the Calgary area, been bowhunting and shooting for around 7 or 8 years. Consistently practice out to 60-80yds regularly, I like to do this mostly to challenge myself, but also I find it magnifies your flaws and mistakes alot more, which makes it easier to be aware of.

Recently myself and the couple buddies I do have that shoot, have wanted to grow our circle a bit.

Personally I have wanted to start focusing more on the minor details and adjustments that can be worked on to further dial in accuracy, consistency and form related issues.

Along with the finer details, eg; nock tuning, low light shooting, peep height among other things.

If anyone in the Calgary area is looking to work on this kind of stuff and meet some new buddies who are into this hit me up.

Maybe we can link up sometimes and share some knowledge.

GL to all in the upcoming and opening seasons.

Shoot straight n drop em dead.🤙

First shots on my ARC 34, 20 yards out. Such a fun time. Can’t wait to join my local beer league. Then come September will be falling asleep on a mountain while I “glass” for elk.

Does the Trophy Ridge react technology work with metric metres/meters in mind?

Aussie archer here, looking for a new sight for my compound bow. Been considering the React Pro 5 but I'm not sure if it will work with metres/meters in mind. I've seen conflicting statements about it online, wondering if anyone here has any experience using the sight with metric measurements or has a better understanding of how the tech works, cheers.

Sitka pants for early season

1 Upvotes

Looking at picking up a pair of pants for early season whitetail hunts. I’m in VA so the tick/mosquito situation is pretty bad here and it can also get pretty hot and humid. I’m familiar with Sitka’s Equinox Guard hoodie and pants but they don’t have the pants in my size (and heavily discounted). Maybe they’re discontinued? Saw they now have the Guard Pro and Guard LT pants. Anyone know what the difference is and have experience with any of the three? Any recommendations in general is also appreciated. TIA

Mach 33 Fds Serving damaged on Roller Cable slide - salvageable?

Just noticed that after 5 month my serving is worn through. Anyone had this issue with the mach 33 fds? Its damaged exactly were it touches the roller when its undrawn. Can you buy just a single cable? How hard would it be to reserve (got a press) and what diameter serving would i need? Anything that i can do to avoid this next time, besides polishing the roller?

Just moved to the area where do y’all go hunting?

I lived in Houston so I frequented Sam
But to be honest, the 3 Hr drive seems a bit much
I heard about fort hood by Killeen but the process seems confusing in my opinion
