We try to include archery, ML and rifle hunters.
Some posts may be geared toward a specific weapon, but in general there is an over-lapping of infomation

I\'ve never hunted with a treestand, so it didn\'t factor into my top 5 - but it is a very effective way to hunt as we have seen from some of the members here - I just have a tough time staying in one sport for hours.

#1: Wind checker
#2: Rangefinder
#3: GPS
#4: 300fps bow/arrow set up
#5: External reed cow call

I\'m one who has never weighed/calculated my arrow weight, or put an arrow through a chronograph, so not sure about those measures.
