    I can hold a good group at 30 and 40 but I know my bow needs paper tuned. My arrows fly sideways

    As I said thats a reason to paper tune or when your arrows are doing the cork screw into the target thats an issue as well

    yep, paper tuning is a way to fix/show teh arrow is flying straingt. its a big difference when shooting up to 80 yards.

    and bengland, season is going pretty well so far, i got my bear the otehr weekend. Wasnt big, (looked a lot bigger when i shot him), only about 130 lbs. also got the pig, now ill be heading out to try and fill that AO tag for the closing of B-4 next weekend.

    here is another pic of how wide he was, there was a bigger 8 but i couldnt get a shot on him so this guy was next in line. granpa always told me if you pass on a buck you might not see him again and youll regret it, and i passed many last year and regretted it everytime. he is pretty tall and good sized for around these parts though weighed bout 150 pounds

    nice good shit boys. ya acorns are startin a little bit here too. at least in B4 area. they arnt dropping to much yet, but enough to get the bears in a frenzy. Saw one in a tree about 30 yards up reaching out on teh limbs for em.

    So hopefully next weekend theyll be really dropping and the deer hit the early rut. still got that AO tag to fill.

    heres a lil black tail my buddy got last weekend.

    oh and iono if any of yall have checked out Badlands new clothing, they just came out, but its pretty bad ass. It aint no sitka, but then again its not 400$ for a jacket. still very well built and comfy. QUIET as hell. I ordered (getting a great deal from my buddy that is a badlands dealer) the Velocity, the Ion pants, and the Alpha rain jacket. Ill put it to use and let yall know how it works.
