Getting Ready to Hunt

I finished my bow hunter's safety course yesterday, and I'll get my New Hamphire state archery license tomorrow.

This will be the first year I'll bow hunt for Whitetail. I'm using a friend's Hoyt Havoc compund-bow, which I took to the Kittery Trading Post today and had tuned up. It's a little behind the bow-tech curve, but it's reasonably quiet, and with a sixty pound pull it'll knock down deer. My draw length is the same as my buddy's, so no need to do anything there. I put a kisser button on the string, a new rubber for the peep sight, removed the nocks, and added a release string. I'm in a four-inch group at twenty yards and a pie plate at thirty; that'll tighten up before the season begins.

Booha!
