Don't feel bad about missing. The first year I went hunting I had a doe at 20 yds., but I couldn't figure out why my bow sight was shaking all over the place. Figured out afterwards that my knees were knocking together so hard that I couldn't keep my arms still! All my arrow found was air about 5 yd...

I recently bought the Mossback shooting sticks (more like a tripod) and it has greatly improved my accuracy. Of course I'm a newbie to rifle hunting and have only shot at paper with it. Will let you know after the weekend is over how well it works for real-life shooting. In practice it sets up quick...

Thanks for taking the time to reply huntingal. Sorry to hear that you didn't get your elk this year. My husband also uses Muzzys and has had lots of success with them. The three blade 100's just didn't seem to work out for me. I'm eating tag soup this season too! I've never belly crawled so much dur...

I had shot a doe a few years earlier using the same bow, but with carbon arrows and a 3 blade muzzy. Extremely little pene...

Thanks for the welcome guys! I feel confident in my equipment, I was just hoping to get some real-life info from someone who also has a shorter draw. I'm the opposite of your wife Hiker in that I have archery hunted for several years and this year I'm going to try rifle for a cow elk in unit 511. I ...

Question for huntingal

I am also a female archer and was just wondering what your set up is as far as dl, dw, bow, arrows and broadhead. Do you get pass throughs on your shots? I'm shooting 53# at 25" with 2013 arrows and a Magnus Stinger 100. So far I've only shot one muley with the setup on a different bow, but I didn't...
