BowCast Blog

I am hoping I don't need this pack in Montana next week :-). Awesome picture that was sent to me by Badlands - I hope they put it an upcoming catalog - it's an awesome pic! Click on it to enlarge the picture.

I had the chance to shoot the 2009 Bowtech Admiral, Captain, and 82nd Airborne a couple of weeks ago at Sportsman's Warehouse.  All great shots - anyone in the market for a new 2009 bow should definitely make the rounds on the Bowtech line.

Back in the Saddle

First off, I want to apologize for not keeping my blog as up to date as I would like to over the last few weeks. A lot has been going on around my house and with my family, and I am in that "Guilt" phase between all the September hunting I did for Elk, Mule Deer, and Antelope - and the upcoming whitetail seasons as well as my trip planned for Mule Deer up in Montana. My apologies, but I think I am back on track.

Folks,

As a prelude to an upcoming episode of BowCast - I have included an article written by Mark Land who is involved with Bowfishing Promotions as well as a Technical Support Specialist at Muzzy. Mark will be joining Anthony and I to talk Bowfishing in a few weeks. In the meantime, Mark shared the following article he wrote....good stuff for those of us (like me) considering getting into more bowfishing. In addition to the article below, Mark recommends the following resources for folks wanting to get into more bowfishing:

I came across this deal and thought many of you out there in BowCast land would like to learn how to get some archery hunting t-shirts for $4l.

This blog entry post-dates the episode Jason and I did last week in reviewing each of our individual bows, but I thought I would put my review of the 2008 Quest QS 33 here in print as another medium to understand my experience with this new bow.

For those of you having issues updating your iTunes feed to BowCast, it appears the issues have been resolved.  You should be able to successfully update BowCast, and latest episodes that you are missing should be downloaded to your iTunes client.

Folks,

It appears there are some issues with the BowCast iTunes feed that is preventing that ability to update the feed in the iTunes client and receive the latest episodes.

 Check out the new "Sarah-Cuda" bow and associated press release.  Wow!

I know many of you have been waiting all summer for us to announce the winner of the 2009 Montana Pronghorn hunt provided by Trophies West.  Well, the day is here.  Click the link below to listen to a Bonus episode of BowCast where the winner is announced.  Good Luck.

 Announcement - Winner of Trophies West Pronghorn Hunt

Zotes Sunflower Seeds

For those of you who attended the BowCast 3D shoot in July of this year, you may have seen the Zotes truck, or possibly me even zipping around in the Zotes golf cart to pick up late arrivers and get them up to the course.

Ok...here we go with part 2 of my review of my 2008 gear.

Badlands is Saving Your Glass!

I don't think I need to type a word - these pics speak for themselves. Congrats Anthony and Launch!

Hey Folks,

Just got a few more pics of Mark's bull I thought I would share (cuz I can't get enough!).

In the countless hours I spend at my local Sportsman's Warehouse and other local archery pro-shops, I decided early on this year that I was going to change out my release aid. Prior to 2008, I have used the T.R.U. Ball Loop Master. I have nothing but good things to say about the T.R.U. Ball release aids, however, I was after more than simply changing brands. I had been hearing bout the merits of "Back tension" and "Thumb Trigger" style releases. Anthony and I have, on countless occassions, talked about looking to professional paper and 3D shooters for the equipment that could make you more accurate in the field. Overwhelmingly, professional shooters use "Back Tension" style releases. Why? What do these types of release feature that makes you more accurate?  Are they practical in the field?

I know you are all waiting for my personal success photos - but you are just going to have to wait a little longer :-(.

With big game seasons underway here in Colorado and the West, I have spent the last 9+ months preparing for this time of year. In many of my blog entries, I have hinted at some of the new equipment I have upgraded to this year in the attempt to be a better shot, a more successful hunter, and overall "dope in" or "pimp out" my archery setup.

It's been said a ton of times that you will never forget where you were when the worst terrorist attack on US soil occurred. In remembering the tradgedy of 6 years ago, I thought I would share where I was.

Well, our summer of scouting and hard work finally worked out. Mark Hogue who joined our camp for the 4th time in 8 years finally got it done (even with the cracked limb 1982 PSE he was shooting!).
