Sorry haven't been around much. Been busy getting ready for Archery Season. Unfortunately I'm still dealing with a lot of chest pain too. Hurts like heck at times. The doctors still aren't sure of the cause but they say they don't think it's life threatoning, though not completely ruling out my heart, so I'm not letting it get me down. Just one more thing to deal with. I had a new string put on my Horton Legend XL175 today. Guys at the archery shop were awesome and a lot of fun to talk with. My son Jason and I marveled at the new state of the art bows. At the prices too! You can buy a dang nice rifle for what some of these new bows cost. Maybe even a used car.
One 70lb bow, can't remember the brand, was so small it looked like a toy. It sure was a wicked little booger! Wicked price too at $900. The new Mathew's had us drooling big time. My son shoots a Mathews Q2. Just can't see paying that much for a bow myself. Heck though, new my Horton Legend XL175 cost as much as my T/C Encore! In the last few days I got me 6 new Carbon Xpress Crossbolts and 125gr Muzzy broadheads, did maintenance on our ladder stands, cut shooting lanes, got three trail cams out yesterday ( pics of a doe and fawn so far), posted our hunting area with both signs and purple paint, ran a tresspasser off with a 9mm warning not to come back and repaired the fence he'd cut and drove through, put out salt licks, scouted and found the path the big bucks are using, got my ATV ready, and last but not least been laughing at Jason's enthusiasm to hurry up and go hunting, so pain be damned!
Buying my tag on the first and will be in the woods on the 15th with a sweet new bow and an attitude! Wishing all you folks the very best of luck and safe hunting.
