Welllllllll sh****. I hunted north of Laredo in Eagle Pass for ten years on 60k acres and that is some very special country indeed. Deer unlike anything you've seen naturally free ranging. Please announce the 2027 when you know something and I'd second the deposits.

Thank you so much my friend! I will fosho add it to the list!

No you didn't! I spent the night at the LaQuinta Inn the night before arrival day.

I was talking about the snowstorm Terry.  Sorry for the miscommunication.

I can't find anywhere on this thread where someone's talking about a snowstorm.

you must have been sick that week Terry.

here ya go... That's why i was asking  if it was effecting cancellations for the Laredo hunt on the other thread.

No. They were cancelled weeks before the storm was ever thought of.

Stick with the FF string.

I'm cooking up some arrows using the 3 Rivers calculator and when selecting a string, they have b50 or FF in various configurations. I'm using a BW PSAX 49@28 62". I selected a 14 strand FF as my string and worked up a nice FOC arrow, and it's very close to my heavier BW longbow arrows, only an inch longer. Am I good or should I select a different string?

I don't use a computer at all, just an iPad, so operating system compatibility issues arise with the spine calculators I've used in the past.

The Baltimore Bowmen host the Mid-Atlantic Traditional Classic every May. This year it is May 14-17. A little later than you asked for but just wanted to let you know. Their club is just off Harford Road.

It is a really nice shoot with courses that go through some phenomenal woods.

Quote from: Rob DiStefano on February 02, 2026, 06:04:33 AMThat video is about "soft sight aiming". 

It's NOT instinctive aiming!

What Rob said. And this guy has way too much movement on release his bow arm is going to the right and down, profusely. Which means he has incorrect back tension.

I agree with that observation. He never even mentioned proper alignment or back tension. he was pointing out more details about getting a high anchor point established for getting a smaller gap.

i can see where he was going with helping new archers ease into instinctive shooting  using a gap method, but.... until you establish good alignment and back tension, to include a decent follow through, your constancy is going to suck.

Hey gang! I am about to graduate college and will be having a kid in April. My fiancee and I are trying to do as much shooting and outside activates before April rolls around. We are planning on attending ETAR but want to get out and attend more 3d Courses.

Does anyone know of any good 3d courses and shoots in or around Maryland? Thanks in advance

    

Thanks for all the replys yall! I look forward to attending! I would love to camp but all I have is a basic tent... Not lot of protection from rain
