Re: Refinishing and adding tip overlays Questions

Re: Limbsavers - Epic Fail!!

Ian the noise issue with your Hoyt Buffalo may have been the wooden limbs screaming at the metal riser to take some of the shock away, pretty obvious the metal riser didn't listen.

Re: Confusing Game Management Policy

Interesting Darrel, just hope they don't get into the Chital Deer which are on the Island as well. I guess since populating the Island (human wise) the population of wildlife has grown dramatically with the abundance of food and water now available to them. Worked on there for a few years a little w...
