It doesn’t matter if you are a novice turkey hunter, or have several seasons under your belt, it is likely that you have heard about Dave Smith Decoys (DSD). The ultra-realistic decoy movement began almost 20 years ago when the first custom DSD Canada Goose decoy was created. Since then, the DSD brand
I’ve always loved an all black bow setup so finding accessories was never very difficult for me. However, new and extremely effective patterns (such as the Gore Optifade patterns utilized with Sitka Gear) began to pop up over the past several years. These Gore Optifade patterns used to be only available
In his typical fashion, Dorge at Firenock had numerous breakthrough products to display at this year’s ATA show. The one that immediately caught my attention was an extreme example of infinite configurations; His new AeroStab titanium stabilizer system. Yes, that’s right, I said titanium. I could probably stop there when
Carter Enterprises showcased another cutting-edge release-aid design at this year’s ATA show; the revolutionary three and four-finger Piston Resistance activated Evolution Too.

After having success at Dad’s farm in Indiana on April 28th, I was eager to get home and see if I could end my Ohio Turkey drought. It had been 3 years since I had last tagged a bird in my home state, and I had no intention of going another year without
I can’t think of anything that gets gear freaks as worked up in the hunting world as the impending release of the new bows for the year. Whether you shoot a Mathews, Hoyt, Elite, Bowtech, whatever your brand of choice…there is always plenty of debate each and every year about who
What a whirlwind it has been the past couple months. Much like last year after my first DIY elk hunt, it’s taken me a while to finally get the time to sit down and write about it. It seems like the older you get, the more you have vying for your
Without a doubt, one of the hottest topics in archery is not only what sight you are using, but what sight configuration you are using. This is one of those things that in the end all comes down to personal preference and what style of hunting you are doing. Some
