Who's going to join in on the hunt? My dad and I are going to start out down in Switzerland Co and then work our way up to Marion and Shelby Co with a mix of day and night calling. Should be a blast. www.facebook.com/events/2283236925228448/

Live from the stand, "Late Night Edition" Tried night calling for the first time last night. First spot delivered a single male about 2 minutes after calling. 90 yard head shot (forgot to turn on the video recorder). Second spot produced a double, but couldn't get a shot on the first one. Put a shot on the second one but wasn't able to recover it. Video, below.

I wish there was an Indy area dealer. I don't work on my own bows other than really simplistic stuff, and since the local shops aren't selling the bow, I expect a full setup adds a significant cost. Which shop are you closest to?

Finally pulling my Snapshot cam tomorrow. The thing has been soaking since late October in a spot of the farm that no one ever walks through and is deep in a river valley bottom. Should have some good pics!

A dealer in Washington state got one of the new summits and gave it a quick speed test.

Some limbs getting ready for finishing...(I designed the logo) That looks like KUIU camo design. Is Athens working with them on camo design for the bows? Always thought that camo design was western hunting focused. Just my thinking. Yes we have a KUIU and Realtree license. Kuiu Verde is great for eastern hunters!

I think and read about this a lot. Flagship bows have become ridiculous from a price perspective. It is killing the compound bow industry. For those of you who follow Will Brantley in Field & Stream, his archery shop went out of business. That is a meaningful statement to me. The mentality of the fastest, smoothest draw, least vibration and so on is stupid but that is the sales pitch of the compound bow manufacturers for their flagship bows. $1500 to $1700 for a bare bow is stupid. I shoot a Mathews bow. Their flagship for 2018 and 2019 were right at $1000. Are they getting it? Who knows but that is a lot cheaper than the Hoyt's and PSE's. Whatever. Anecdotaly, my local shop said that he has sold more Mathews Triax than any other bow since he has been in business. and that is a long time. That is the F&S last compound bow of the year. Is that the beginning of a trend to pricing sanity? I hope. Add to the stupidity of the pricing, the demographics of hunters. We are getting older, me excluded, and we are shifting to crossbows as another tool in our box. Will I abandon my compound? No way. But will I mix in my crossbow? Heck yes. Rant off...... I just read, and have read similar articles, about bow shops going under due to over pricing of bows. Although I really like that Hoyt, I will not be spending that kind of money on a bow. The Athens bows are nice but, I don't think there's any dealers close enough. I'm certain that I will be buying a new bow in the spring, just not sure which one. But I know which one's I will not be, the 2019 Hoyt Redwrk line. Let me know what I gotta do to get you to consider Athens. You WON'T be disappointed, I promise you.

There are some haas in a bow shop and the owner talking about the haas cnc. Ah, no, that was just before I started.
