Congratulations on your back straps tho! I wanted to try smoking a baldie with the t/c tonight but I fell asleep o well maybe Monday if I don't go shoot bunnies

As an 'older hunter' must admit to using what you likely refer to as 'antique equipment' so many of the newer thingies are outa my league.
Using an early  Hoyt mystic intruder down to 52 lbs- as that's about all I can draw and  hold for a while anymore- even with the let off.
Still using  aluminum shafts with 125 thunderheads. It all hits right where aimed. ( 99% of the battle)
Dead on at 30 yds and has taken Bear-a number of turkey and many deer- still feelin the love. 
One thing I learned early though was NEVER use too light a shaft. Had a wood arrow split when transferring  to the compound long ago and have seen a carbon all blown up from a fiends using too light an arrow when trying to get up more speed.
My antiques generally pass through and that's all I can ask of them.

Way to go on the doe outasync.

So I'm sitting watching the football game, half daydreaming about getting out before first light tomorrow morning and I'm hearing a combine, working the bean fields that I've standing over the past week
 
Oh well "easy come easy go" as they say in the old country, while I yet to put venison in the freezer I must say it has been a ball so far and I have the rest of the season to enjoy and maybe get another chance to stand at full draw while waiting to get shot.
 
Finished up last evening with four deer walking into the field and continue away from me.  As I stood-up and turned in preparation to call it a day, I listened as my old bones made muffled thumps and bumps while making the initial attempt to place my foot on the top rung.  Once sure of good footing I turned for one last look across the field only to see a doe and two younger deer staring at me.  All three had to be bedding down, at the spot where they stood, the entire time I spent swinging and swaying in my tree and not more than 50 yds. away.  What a hoot!
 
I didn't want to spook the deer so now dressed in a fluorescent orange hat, in low light conditions looking like a neon torch, I walked away as quickly as possible.  Yeah I know deer are color blind but I didn't say "orange" neon torch.
 
Still lots of time to have some fun, good luck to all.

Well BTDT I'm sitting here watching the Nascar race and jumping between it and football also ....remote getting a good workout. Didn't hunt yesterday was out Friday evening nothing under or even near to me but did see the nice buck as I entered the field heading back to my car he was watching me so no chance of calling him in😡... no hunting next week heading to Talladega for the NASCAR race next weekend. Hopefully when we get back it will be prime time in the woods .... so good luck out there in the woods next week to ya all .... enjoy !!!

Have a ball at the races Steve, after that "honey-do" list this summer, buddy you earned it.
 
I was just outside and watching the tails fly into the woods as the combine entered into the bean field, took a few minutes but I think I have the tears under control now.  Maybe go down to my tree stand this evening and have a few minutes of silence.
 
But heyyyyyy, there's always tomorrow..........
 
Enjoy Talladega, I'm no racing fan but I'll watch for a bit, so wave.  

I wouldnt give up on it so soon. You'd be surprised how many deer I've seen in cut fields. Sat from 640 until 10 this morning and saw a great big racoon and that's all. Skeeters were out in full force though!

For what it's worth BTDT, I usually start seeing alot more deer once they cut the cornfield across the the road from the one property I hunt.

I'm shooting 400 Easton full Metal jackets from a 60 lbs pse axe 7 that Ken at field and stream set up. I figured out the broadhead problem. I had the between the limb dampeners on it and after removing them my arrows all shoot fine.
First shot only grazed her back not even 1/4 deep across her back. 2nd was perfect double lung top of the heart shot.

 Well that would BE your problem, Them guy's at field and stream HAVE NO CLUE on how to set a bow FACT I had them replace a string and could not hint a barn side after they set the bow up. Took about a hour of tweeking before I could get back to hitting a dime at 30 yards.

Thank's fellas, I know yinz are right and my only real worry is the deer will be seen much easier from the road which is heavily traveled by vehicles along with horse and buggies.  I never knew a Dutchman who didn't like to spot burn. lmao

Strange, Ken nor Bill ever worked on my bow (yet) but from the competition trophies I've seen and stories from Archers schooled at "Field and Stream" I wouldn't have a problem with them guys doing repairs to either of my bows, string or otherwise.
 
By chance Bighead, were you offered the use of the shooting range to assure all was well with your repairs, before leaving the store, just curious?

Gotta git, time to dress-up like a neon torch, daylight will breaking soon.
 
 
Luck to those going out today.
