RE: New Bow What Would You Do
Hi Arthur, My experience has been all flat land whitetail hunting. I was one of the spoiled ones that grew up with four thousand acres of family farm mostly river bottom and rolling wooded sand hills. This will be my first year hunting Elk and it's going to be in some of the most demanding terrain I've ever seen. So even though I have hunted alot with bow I'm a rookie where I'm going. I havn't even looked at the new technology in that many years. It's going to be interesting and challenging to say the least. I'm looking for experienced help and advise in these conditions.

Why don't you try a APA Twister Safari??? You get a combination containmernt rest ( arrow can't fall off ) and a fall away all in one. I would venture to say hunters really like the Whisker biscuit because they never have to worry about their arrow falling off. 3D Guy's love the fall aways as they are IMO more accurate as there is little or no chance of fletching contact. So why not have both???

Standingpipe, Arthur P has a very good point, as well as BobCo19-65, I agree with him, like I said in my E-mail to you I don't like a hip quiver but a lot of gus do. One thing I'll add is this spring you could buy a hip quiver and try it out, while you hike and scout around your home. I might have to just come join you, we could stump shoot together, its a lot of fun and great practice. Also there are plenty of Rock Chucks to practice on as well. Nothing beats a real live target for actual experience. On the plus side of that is when you are shooting at them you are shooting almost strait up or down hill. Not much in between, but I am sure you already are finding that out from the mountains around your home.

RE: New Bow What Would You Do
I sure appreciate the advise I'm looking forward to that Instructor. I'm really getting fired up for spring and scouting. The elk are hanging out on the outskirts of town now about 100 head on the south facing slope about a mile from my house. Rich Baker has a great point. Where I'm going to hunt early is very thick stuff. It's like hunting the olympics in Washington. I hunted there with rifle. In the panhandle it is very wet and thick brush. Gotta go for now I really appreciate all of the input you all have keep it coming.
