What 3-d targets does everyone use?  How do you like it?  I have a 3-d deer target that I hate and wouldn't recommend to anyone.  I cannot pull my arrows out of it for anything!  I'm not sure what brand it is.  I love shooting 3-d targets, just not that one!

This year I was fortunate to draw a limited archery antelope tag here in Colorado unit 3 and 301.  My goal is to harvest a pope and young buck.  These units are very capable of meeting that.  What have you found to be good ways to field judge antelope?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated...

    It has happened to all of us, that bull is coming in hot right into your lap, you draw early so he won't detect movement.  That is when he stops right behind brush or trees, blocking his vitals.  This is the reason for me missing my bull last year, I was drawn back at least two minutes on...

What hunts are everyone planning on this year aside from elk?  I have been fortunate to draw a limited draw archery antelope tag here in Colorado.  This will give me a chance to try out new gear before my archery elk hunt.  I also have a bear tag for my archery elk unit.  What is everyone...

With only 48 days until archery elk season here in Colorado, my mind is racing with ideas and predictions of the long waited season ahead.  One big question for me, and probably all of us archery crazed elk hunters, when is the rut going to be in full swing?  I have had many ideas of what causes...

Hey guys, If anyone will be in Northwest Colorado March 29, come to the Northwest Colorado Chapter Mule Deer Foundation banquet that my family and I are putting on.  It's great food and great chances of walking away with new hunting gear from our auctions, games, and raffles.  All the money...

I am excited to go out and use my new Mathews Creed XS on some rutting bulls.  Anybody else get new gear for this season that you are eager to use?

Has anyone else heard any bugles or any rutting activity?  I have been hunting Colorado the past two weekends and have seen the elk but havent heard a thing.  The elk we have been seeing aren't evan thinking about the rut.

Has anyone else read the article "Bag a bull in 48 hours"?  I am really thinking about trying it on opening weekend here on Colorado private land.  Has anyone else done this or is going to try it?  If anyone else wants to know what it is just let me know and I will tell you.  Is anyone else...

I was wondering how many shots everyone takes per day while shooting their bow.  I just read an article that says you are best off to only shoot one arrow for each pin.  So only shoot once at 20, 30, 40 and so on.  I was thinking about trying that.  How many do you guys shoot each day or per pin?

In my last post I asked for adive on my shoulder injury.  It now feels way better but I still can't quite draw my bow.  I need to start shooting again because archery opens in 3 weeks.  Does anyone have a good way to condition a shoulder back into shape?  I am very close to having it healed up...

I need some advice here. I was shooting my bow today like normal. When I drew back I heard my shoulder make a sloshing sound and I have a slight pain. I cant draw back my bow now. When I try to draw it hurts. I really dont think it is dislocated. Please some advice because season opens at the...
