I'll say..If broadheads come in sets of 3..include 3 sets of practice blades not 1.

If a company sells an 1 pin sight that is adjustable for a variety of ranges ( such as the HHA Optimizer)

They should have on thier website a program that lets you input your arrow weight, draw-length, poundage..etc and spit out a a printable yardage indicator that you can affix to the site!This way,you don't have to draw lines on your site which makes your set-up look cheesy.

Even if you had to get one yardage yourself, the others have to be a relationship..of the above factors.

A quiet "water proof" day pack. Even the ones from Cabelas who's materials are water proof the bags will still leak because of the zippers.[:@]

The pins on ladder stands that rattle. I have taken to covering them with moleskin before I hunt from that stand.

Camo hoods that don't turn with my head. I can't stand being blinded by the dang things.

I'd like to have a 3D deer that didn't require a hydraulic system to remove the arrows.
Try a Reinhart 3D target, much easier to pull arrows than from a Delta/McKensie. 80% of our club targets are now Reinharts and they last just as long or longer. Also the Morrel Bionic Buck is a great target but you can't shoot broadheads into them, they are for field points only.

Prices! This is better than last year, let's raise the price etc..etc..etc...When is it going to end. Will bows in 2010 cost over a grand?

I've thought this over and over and the only problem I can think of is this...

No pockets and no belt/suspenders on my ASAT Ultimate Leafy 3D Suit.
Its hard to be invisible when you have to raise your jacket up to get something in your (under) pocket.
And the darn pants keep falling down - not even a draw string.

Like many of you have said- the prices of bows!

Also this year for christmas I got a new jacket that is in advantage timber(I love the pattern) but barely anything comes in advantage! I'm not buying a new coat nor am I mixing camo for my pants. I will mix camo on smaller articles like my gloves and hat but not the pants.[:@]

1. The lack ofTHEFT-PROOF tree stands and trail cameras. How we can change this is another story!
2. Trespassers who ignore all the warnings and ruin a good season'shunt (on my own land).
3. Constant fogging of my glasses, rangefinder and binos.

Releases that release the arrow when you pull the trigger, right before you put the pin on the chest of a beautiful buck. []My release should have known my finger was just twitching


Oh yeah .... VELCRO!!!!
