But, great shoot, very challenging nicely set up, beautiful location, shooting with guys from our club, never mind the rain. It was an ace weekend.

Shower, feet up, succulent Chinese meal and some heavy snoring soon.

Refletching arrows? Don't use a sharp utility knife – a dull one is key. Wipe down with denatured alcohol to avoid strong smells. Expensive wraps from brands like Bowtique or Carbon Express Mach Fives are an option, but consider the cost vs. durability trade-off. #archery #hunting

Was 'twiddling' (official technical term) with tuning bow today so wasn't paying much attention to scoring. Only when checked at the end of the session did I find I'd shot a new 70m PB and 2nd class Bowman score...which was nice! It's all (finally) starting to come together!! #archery

Even with a clean shot and 70lbs of draw weight, a Muzzy broadhead didn't penetrate that deer's shoulder. Turns out, hitting bone next to the vitals means you're not getting through. Lesson learned: aim for the lower part, or switch to Luminoks for certainty. #archery #hunting

That Muzzy broadhead took a direct hit to a concrete block wall after a missed shot. The arrow shaft cracked, but the broadhead was unfazed. Seems my uncle was right about those 4-blade Muzzys. #archery #hunting

Morning wood, day 2 with the Bowhunting Clan's 3D shoot at Middachten Castle.
Hopefully it goes better than yesterday's debacle.

Swapping bow mods can throw off timing, leading to nock-high tears and a mushy back wall. If your shot feels off after adjustments, it might be your cams are out of sync. #archery #bowhunting

Tired of screwing on broadheads when you're on the move? Fold-out blades that fit right in the quiver are a game-changer for run-and-gun turkey hunting. No more fiddling with cases or risking your bowstring. #archery #hunting

Editing hunting videos can easily double the time it takes to film them. While some enjoy raw footage, others prefer the polish of cut-tos and music. Technology like the Insta360 X5 might simplify the filming process going forward. #archery #filmmaking

Shot a buck in the shoulder; the broadhead bent. Regretted not using lighted nocks after that. We tracked him, but a storm washed out the blood trail. Even with a tracking dog the next morning, he wasn't found. #hunting #archery

Keeping muzzleloaders dry in the field? A condom or Saran wrap with a rubber band can seal out moisture. Essential if you've already loaded it and are heading out. #hunting #archery

Tracking a deer through a torrential downpour tested patience. Even with a dog, the trail went cold. Early season hunting means looking for subtle signs in thick terrain where deer can bed anywhere. #archery #hunting

A draw board is pretty key for checking bow timing and center shot accuracy. You can eyeball it with help, but a dedicated press makes the process much smoother, even if they run $600-$700. #archery #bowhunting

Archery is more than just aiming. It's about dialing in draw length, adapting apparel for hunting, and a raw account of a tough turkey hunt. Gear choices and persistence make all the difference. #archery #hunting

PSE carbon arrows: Comp Pros and Hunter Shafts. While known for durability and precision, watch out for mis-marked spines and weight variations. A little quality control goes a long way. #archery #pse

Archery comes with its own challenges. There's the heavy draw weight that tests your strength, and then there are those unexpected release mishaps. It really highlights how crucial it is to use your own release aid, and the journey of starting out in archery is full of learning curves. #archery

Modern bow presses bring new tuning challenges. Evolution in bow tech means older methods don't always apply. It's a different ballgame now. #archery #bowhunting
