I do that too. Even got one of those plano tackleboxes that everything fits and the box fits perfectly into the small pouch of my paypack. Shoot at yellow leaves on a hillside for target.

How about remembering to turn your Caps lock off!

How about checking your spelling before banging on someone else about how they choose to type in their post. I understand the theory behind using lower case letters, but for the life of me I can't understand why people get so upset if someone chooses not to. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Caps or No Caps NYBOWHUNTER has the right idea. Ive seen so many guys go into the woods after practicing I wont call it practicing ( shooting three arrows to see where they land ) go off and hunt opening day. I do hope sometimes one of those guys break a string at full draw with a nice 8 point in front of them. That would teach them to be a little more careful with their equipment. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I used to tote a complete archery shop to the woods too. After about 30 years you realize it's suppose to be fun and don't need all that stuff. If something breaks, chances are you can't fix it anyway. Chances are by the time you've fixed it you're all messed up to and late. Our bow season starts Sept 15th and ends Jan 31st. I hunt 15 minutes from the house. If a hunt gets messed up I go home and have breakfast with the wife. I'll throw a couple arrows into a bale at the house before leaving. I always carry a spare release. In 30 years of bow hunting my sights haven't moved and the arrow hits where it's suppose to. I had one string on an old recurve break back in the late 70s when my buddy bumped my string in the back of the jeep with a loose broadhead. I had an extra string in my pack. There is such a thing as being to prepared. You really don't need all the targets and junk if you've practiced and taken care of your equipment. If I were traveling away from home for several days I'll take a little more although I usually just take a second bow I've tuned and that's performed well in the past. Like they say, it's suppose to be fun.

SOME PEOPLE JUST HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN !#%$~! REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT IS THAT THEY ARE !@^&#$ ABOUT. HOW STUPID IS THAT ANYWAY? WHY DO YOU CARE HOW SOMEONE TYPES? IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN DON'T READ IT. AS A MATTER OF FACT IF IT BOTHERS YOU THAT MUCH MAYBE YOU SHOULD QUIT USING THESE FORUMS ALL TOGETHER.(insert the emoticon that is sticking out his tongue and flipping the double bird)

Back on the subject: I think it is a good idea to take your tool box and to take your target and take a few shots before you hunt. What I think is a bad idea is moving your pins because your shooting a little off. If your pins are off when you arrive at your hunting spot you either have a problem with your equipment or more than likely your form is different not your bow. Rather than moving your sight you need to work on your form. Otherwise you shouldn't have to adjust your sight after arriving at your hunting spot any more than once every couple of years. I can't remember the last time that I had too and I treat my bow like a &quot;tool&quot;. I don't coddle them at all.

Protect your hunting rights, &quot;Spay or neuter a liberal.&quot;

I never bring tools into the woods. If i am worried about it breaking, it comes off my bow.

I do give it a good once over before every hunt, chuck th bolts, and draw it back or take a couple shots.

A tree stand ain't no place to be fixing things.
