My wife and two girls and I headed up into the high country of Colorado this past weekend for a family camping trip. For my efforts in loading up my truck with pink camo sleeping bags, Dora the Explorer trikes, 3 different sets of wiffle ball bats and matching balls, 14 extra blankets, special pillows and stuffed animals, and probably a whole lote more crap that I don't remember and we never

Last week I wrote about the 3D course from John North that I had the opportunity to shoot. We shot it again this weekend - here is some footage. I'd be interested to know, based on the shots you see in the video, give it a rating in the comment section 1 (Piece of Cake through 10 (Extremely Challenging). We'd love to hear your opinion:

Anthony and I first saw the sight when we visited the Sure-Loc booth at the Archery Trades Association (ATA) show back in January. As we did with many of the products we tested and reviewed at ATA, we took notes on each product detailing what was new and cutting edge, and what was not so new. We did the samefor the

I had the opportunity last Friday to fly from Denver to Salt Lake City and catch up with Anthony on some of the event planning for the BowCast VIP Ticket to the FMP Premiere. As you all know, the world premiere of FMP's next movie - Proof - is on July 26, 2008. You can all be assured we have an amazing day of activities planned for all the folks signed

Many of you die-hard BowCasters probably know, or will remember when I was somewhat surprised on an Episode of BowCast when Anthony offered up to spend time with anyone who may find themselves in the Salt Lake City area during the off-season and wanted to shoot with him.  As I have been a beneficiary of some consultation on form and technique from Mr. Dixon and the entire FMP team of sharp

As a continuation to my last post, I not only had the opportunity to talk with Chris Denham (Editor of Western Huner Magazine as well as over 20 years in the Optics industry) about digiscoping - but that conversation led to the next episode of BowCast - we're going to have Chris on to break digiscoping down for all budgets, and answer many of the commonly asked questions (at least the ones

...pumpin it fresh y'all...D.O.C. on the mic gettin fresh y'all.

I'd love to see a comment on anyone who can give me name, title, and year of these lyrics. Think old school west coast.....

On to the topic of this post. I have noticed a few questions on digiscoping on the BowCast forums, and in all honesty, I have never had the opportunity (or

Challenge yourself this summer

On Episode #49 of BowCast - Half Time! - 5 tips to ensure victory in the fall! , you will hear about the first point that we recommend all of us archery hunters doing in the month of June before upcoming fall big game seasons - shooting 3D.

This morning, I had a new opportunity fall into my lap. I met John North during a turkey hunting trip in Kansas this past spring

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day! I hope you all had a moment today to remember our fallen soldiers who have fought, and continue to fight for the greatest country on this planet!

We decided at BowCast to break up the spring a little bit, that we would run a couple of contests that you all can participate in.

Below is a picture of a Coues deer shed that was found by BowCast's own Jason Amaro. If you can guess the score on these antlers, you can win a "Nocked and Loaded" DVD from Realtree as well as the new 6 inch color BowCast

It's been awhile since my last blog, but I have a good excuse...I was hunting.

I had the opportunity to hunt with Troy Popplewell who is the IT Manager and development lead here at BowCast. Every piece of content on this site is made available through Troy's web development genius. He keeps the information posted frequently and up to date. In addition

The weekend kicked off with a batchelor party for my good friend. We met at Coors Field for a Rockies game, and that ended with about 30 police officers escorting the entire batchelor party out of the stadium....more on that in another blog entry.

I did get some shooting/testing in this weekend. I was thrown for a couple of loops on the range today. Here goes

...Back to the Quest 33.

I took some accurate measurements of my "peep to sight apeture" and "peep to arrow shaft" which is needed to estimate speed in Archery's Advantage (as well as setup sight tapes).  I also updated my Archer's Advantage software so all the specs of the 2008 bows came in (i.e. Hoyt Katera).  This is done by simply clicking

As I mentioned in my last entry, I was very happy with my initial setup of my Quest 33 bow and Sure-Loc Max ST sight. Now I was moving on to setting up my other bow - a Hoyt Katera.

I went down to visit my good buddy (and Archery Guru) Matt Hogue at my local Sportsman's Warehouse in Littleton, CO. We got to work completing the following tasks:

Hope everyone had a great spring weekend in your neck of the woods.  I had a birthday party scheduled on Saturday for both of my daughters (Their b-days are on April 27 and April 28 - I guess I pretty much rut about the same time each year ;-) ) .  The outdoor picnic plans got yanked do to high wind and eventually snow on Saturday.  Weather is always a little tricky in April and

As many of you know, I have been shooting a Hoyt for many years now (and I hopefully will continue to shoot a Hoyt for many years to come). Anthony and I and the rest of the BowCast team made a decision this year to shoot and hunt with some of the latest bows out there.

With that being said, I made the decision to commit this year to the latest bow on the market. About

South is off on a pig hunt, but before he left, he was sure to send me some pics of his bear mauling that he mentioned in his last blog entry. I thought you would all be interested, so I posted here so you can all see. Below pics are showcased in Cameron Hanes' book, Backcountry Bowhunting . Funny thing is, South hasn't even

My apologies for a delay in my blog entries...but as you know, I have been in Nebraska hunting public land for Rio Grande Turkey.

Got 3 days in the field under my belt, and despite some unusually rough weather (cold and high winds), and some not so unusual henned up gobblers this early in the season, the dust has shaken off and I am ready to get back out after the mandatory

T minus 3 days.  I got out to the range a few times this weekend.  Friday I never even took my bow out of the case because when I got to the range and got out of my truck, the wind picked up and it was miserable.  Turned right around and headed back to take some shots in my basement range.

Satruday proved to be some decent weather, so I got out and did rounds with
