Now that hunting seasons are coming to an end... what are you going to change for next year  I think I am going to learn to serv my own strings and I would like to try out a 3 finger caliper type release  instead of the wrist strap type. I also started shooting the Tight point broad head that Tyler sent me (buffalocounty32) and I really like it.. good thick blades that are very sharp and it flys as good and groups with my feild points  here is the website if you would like to look.. www.tightpoint.com/Saw this thread on one of our sister sites and thought it would be a good one for here too! |

I like them Tight Points myself. Tyler sent me a copy of the e-mail the owner of Tight point had sent him. Saw some polar bear pics, and I was hooked. They do fly very true to FPs. I am pretty confident while shooting them of my shot. As for the off season: I am going to shoot this winter with a back tension release to work on the "surprise" shot. It's supposed to help with target panic and improve shot placement. I am also planning on getting a fletching jig and equipment to make my own arrows. If anyone is interested in shooting with a back tension release, I was given this site to check out. They offer a BT training kit, so one can safely train without "punching" oneself in the face. www.zenitharchery.com/zap_no_punch.htmI must add...all off season stuff will begin on January 2. After second bow season ends. |

Kasey, I too have been wanting to try something other than the wrist realease. Let me know how you like it. On the serving, is someone going to show you how to do it or are you going to use a book or just play? I got a book here somewhere that show you how to tie them. If I come accross it I will let you know the name.
Other than that, I too am going to work on some arrows. I bought the grayling jig here about a month ago, want to pick up some new arrows and some wraps over the winter and make some new arrows.
And that's about all I have planned right now. But there is always something. ;D

I want to start shooting the long bow enough to take it out next year. Have to start soon though since I shoot that one instinctive |

The thing I would like for next year is to find my own hunting woods. That is one of many crappy things about living in the city.
I have always had to go with friends that have places to hunt. Now I been able to go on my own but it is not the same.
I want a place that I can put stands where I want, scout, work it in the off season, and all the things that need to be done to make better opportunities during the hunting season.

I have a similar plan, Mike. I plan on getting a platte book, and doing some major networking this winter. We have a lot of farms around here. Maybe they can use some "free" labor. "Will Work for Hunting Land." (my new sandwich board saying ) |

Scott- If you're interested, we may be able to pool our money for a decent lease. I'm thining of joining that club that leases land all over Michigan. That's the one the gentleman that invited my son and I belongs to. It realy would be convenient for me and the price isn't too bad for what you get. I just have to get financially sound first. With the OT I'm working, that should be soon!!  |

I'll go in on a lease with you, Ted. Someone advertised a lease in a weekly classified paper, but I was unsure of what an average price was for a lease on 40 acres. Any ideas?

Scott- Depends on a lot of things. The starting price is usually about $10/acre though.

Scott- Depends on a lot of things. The starting price is usually about $10/acre though. Thanks for the info. The offering wasn't bad then. Wished I had called for it. The offer was $500 for the 40. Not sure if it was exclusive or not, the ad did not say. |

As desperate as I am I would probably jump all over a $500 lease no matter what it was like, especially if it was close to home. ;D
