Love the site. I have lurked here for awhile. I did it this summer, got my first bow.

Here is my set-up - Mathews LX, Trophy Ridge Nitro Extreme, Whisker Bisquit QS, Beman ICS Hunter 400's, Zebra string, peep, Winn True Flight Release, Muzzy 3 blade 100's, braided strap.

I am so stoked, already tore up some arrows (hit fletchings with other arrows and even hit a nock). I guess I can spend some more money investing in a fletching jig and glue. Man what a mess I am in.

We hunt 1100 acres here in Okla. and I am ready to fling some arrows. Any beginner advice? I plan on going this weekend to shoot from my stands and get some yardages.

Oh yeah, one question, my peep (just a peep ring in string, not a tube) has a tendancy to turn on the string, whats up with that? I can twist it before I shoot and it is fine but what a pain. Any ideas?

What else do I need to buy, LOL.

Great site.......

I had the same problem with my peep a while ago. All I did was put my bow in a press and move the peep a couple of strings around the peep in the direction I wanted it to go. Always remember to keep an equal number of strings on each side of the peep though. If you don't have a press just take it to a pro shop. I'm sure they do it all the time.

Good Luck this year!

my first marriage lasted 5 years . said she felt like a widdow 3 months out af the year. oh well it was bow season and theres plenty of time to be a husband the other 9 months in a year. good luck ps. always lie whenever theres a possibility you might be able to get by with it.

Hey Kentster, where in Okla. are you from? I live in the Tulsa area, but hunt in western Okla. a few miles north of Salt Plains Lake...

Well I am a big time bass fisherman too, so that takes over most of the spring months. Man I am in trouble. How bout the 3 B's - Bow, Bar and Bassboat?

Also in the process of homebrewing a digital camera, oh the fun.

my wife also considers herself a widow during bow season or atleast until I get me a good buck and a couple does then it isnt so bad.I only hunt on the weekendds after that.Fri is my 5th aniversary so you should have at;least 5 yrs.LOL

Yep, I'm in Sapulpa... When you get a chance there's a 3D range called "Turnpike Archery" right of Hwy 97 and 91st St.

Also, as to the peep... wait about 500-600 shots and the string should settle in, then you can have it set where it needs to be and it should stay there...

Dont make the same mistake I did when getting a camera. The cheap ones are as good as the expensive ones. I wish I spent 150 instead of 500 on a good camera. Just a tip from a mistake I made.
