But, clearly -- this is a result of Dr. Alt and his management practices. Say all you want; you NEVER saw so much success (and yes, I'm determining success by the quality of bucks being taken now) coming from PA before

RE: PA guys MUST be cheating....
I must admit... I opened this thread back up after being gone for most of the afternoon with some trepidation.
I was/am VERY pleasantly surprised to see the affirmations posted after what I wrote; it's just another example of why I think HNI has some of the classiest and best bowhunters on the net hanging out here... And not just because you agreed with me, but because you agreed with the principle.
