The temperature read 96 degrees in Brett’s truck. Were we thinking straight? It was 4:00 PM in the high desert and we were putting on 40 lb packs to hike into the Angeles National Forest to do some scouting. Yes, it was very hot, but we were motivated by what…
It’s been a slow week for my blog. Beside working, I have been either on the phone, in my workshop or compiling what I need for this season. When I say season I don’t mean just deer season. I am also talking pig, elk, bear, turkey, etc. A few new…

In my post from yesterday, I mentioned how my shooting was way off and that I had found an issue with my stabilizer. After a day of rest, I attacked my project. With a little elbow grease, some rough sandpaper and heavy duty super glue I fixed the stabilizer. After…
Shooting arrows perfectly doesn’t happen without much practice. Also, you can practice your tail off and still come up short. Just ask the Team USA archery team. They shot great yesterday and still ended up one point short. They still snagged a silver medal, which is fantastic. It is the…
