Understanding the Terms That Will Help You Select the Right Bow

20, Oct 2009

I’m in the market for a new bow, so I’ve been slowly skimming through reviews and various bits of research. Unless your are an absolute expert on archery equipment, some of this research can be kind of dense and filled with technical jargon that the every day hunter wouldn’t know. Luckily I came across a [...]

Crossbows vs. Vertical Bows

14, May 2009

 
 
 
I recently read an article in Outdoor Life magazine, entitled The Crossbow Controversy, discussing the current controversy surrounding the spread of crossbow use in America. Seems that crossbows are increasing in popularity and are being legalized in many states during their bowhunting seasons. One side believes that crossbows are a great new tool for hunters, [...]

Doe Bleats: A Must Have in Your Arsenal

30, Sep 2008

At about 9:30, with the rays of the morning  sun peeking through the tree limbs, I saw the tell tale flash of white out of the corner of my eye. About 75 yards away from me, on the edge of my woodlot and a corn field, I saw a tall racked 6 point buck cruising with a [...]

Montana Whitetail

19, Sep 2008

Another great whitetail hunt to tide us over until the season starts. Although I know in some states you have already started, it’s fair to say I’m pretty jealous. Good luck in the woods this weekend!

Choosing the Right Sight for your Bow

17, Sep 2008

I recently bought a new sight for my bow and I found this video to be really helpful in making my decision. After watching this video, what stuck out to me was the importance of factors such as fiber optic length and brightness, strength of design and ease of tuning. I took all of these attributes into [...]

BowCast.com: Bringing Bowhunting to an iPod Near You

14, Aug 2008

New York City is quite possibly the greatest city in the world, but it definitely isn’t the place to be when you’re trying to prepare for deer season. The last three months I’ve had to improvise when it came to curing my hunger for the hunt. During my time here, one of the greatest discoveries I’ve [...]

Whisker Biscuit or Drop Away Rest?

14, Aug 2008

Well I’m still on the fence about both the Whisker Biscuit style rests and drop aways. I’ve heard and read a lot about each,  but they both seem to offer unique pro’s and con’s. I ran across a great video today that breaks down the three major styles of arrow rests. It gives a great overview of [...]

Why Use a Drop Away Rest?

13, Aug 2008

I’m excited to report that next week I will be returning back to Michigan from my summer internship in New York City. To celebrate, I plan on making a few upgrades to my bow before the season. My first point of business is to invest in a new arrow rest and I am considering either a [...]

8, Aug 2008

The recent comments from Bob Barker in relation to the supposed danger of hunting near residential areas really set me off the other day. But now a Virginia court has ruled in favor of hunter’s rights to be in these areas.  This ruling really sets an important precedent regarding the legitimacy and safety of allowing urban bow hunts. I’m particularly excited [...]
