    After all these Years, Guess what I learned this Morning?

    My 70 lb bow is alot harder to pull at 19 degrees than at 90.

    You'd think after all these years.....i would have learned

    Thats right

    Yes; the bow is pretty much useless when you can't get it back!

    been there on several occassions. makes me pretty mad too.

        Thats why I dropped down to 60 lbs. Went hunting when it was 10 degrees one morning and couldn't get the bow drawn back on a doe. After that I said screw it, 60 lbs is fast enough.

          Jaws on your caliper release freeze shut at 14 degrees too! Learned that in Kansas on December 1st!!

              Yep. Been there and done that. I've gone to 60 pound limbs as well.

                getting older I mean smarter has it's advantages..

                60 for a few years now.

                Today's 60 was yesterdays 80 in bow terms.

                Today's bows are so efficient. Shooting over 300 with 60-no brainer.

                  So--it's gonna be 24 in the AM. I know I'm gonna be chilly, but hopefully the bucks will be out and about.

                    Skydrawing a 70 lb bow at any temp is useless. Save the display of ones manliness for the target range.

                      I regularly stretch on stand(not for every living creature to see). Helps keep the blood flowing,etc. When it's GO time, then let 'em have it. You should definitely practice in the conditions you will be hunting!

                        It's tough to practice in these conditions from July through September.

                          I used to shoot 68lbs. I got sick of the struggle and began to accept that anything I hunt can be killed with 50lbs. I now shoot 55lbs and I shoot better than ever.
