For the money....
What has been the best product you have purchased for bowhunting (or hunting in general) "for the money"? Seems like there is so much crap we waste our money on, and much of it ain't worth its salt - and ALOT of it is expensive these days.
I have to say hands down....my bow holster has been a GREAT investment. Igot mine in 1990 (yes, lonnnggg ago - my wife got it for me for Christmas the year we got married which is how I remember). It wasabout $7or $8 I think. I use it religiously, and even feel like I am missing something when I don't have it now.
Last night...I had deer coming to me.I couldn't see em, but could hear them coming through the pines. I took my bow off my hanger,got into position, and slipped it into my holster. 10 mins later they appear about 35yds away. 2 mature does, 2 fawns, and a spike. They piddled around for an almost an hour eating acorns within 30-40yds of me. All the time, I am on lock down trying not to spook them. Having that holster takes all the pressure off holding your bow when you are in a situation where you can't or don't want to move. My arm isn't worn out...it just rests there. What have you gotten that was of huge value for the money?

My rangefinder! Since my depth perception sucks, I use it religiously to determine different distances when I get into each stand.

My favorite piece of gear is accully my neck gater.
If I feel cold at all just pull it up and since your ciculating warm blood then you'll feel warmer.
