Title: What archery gear did Santa bring you for Christmas?
Post by: Scott357 on December 28, 2012, 01:02:00 PM
I got a dozen Surewood shafts from my wife. My mom got me a Barta 6 arrow wilderness quiver and gave me a little cash and my mother-in-law also gave me some dough and with that I ordered an Asbell zipper wool jacket in little delta plaid pattern.

Scott.

Santa brought my son (11) and my daughter (9) pup longbows from Maddog. Mike is awesome and so are his bows! He even made my sons bow 2" longer so he can use it longer. Both bows really smoke arrows for kids bows. Also got them both arrows from Northwest Archery, Suzanne really makes some nice arrows, might order some for myself. Also got quivers, armguards, and no-gloves. They say it was the best Christmas ever! All they want to do is shoot their bows. How great is that!

Santa presented me with a Asbell "Silent Stalker Green" zippered wool, hooded jacket before Christmas so I could have it when the weather turned a little cooler. Great timing and the perfect gift for me. Thanks Santa for your thoughtfulness. This baby will get plenty of wear, both in the woods and out.  :thumbsup:

I got a new gps from my wife but as i put in my other post which is on product reviews now it was a Magellan and I will never deal with them again.  The magellan has been returned and I'm going back to Garmin in the form of an Etrex 20 or 30.

My Christmas present to myself is a new riser from Wes Wallace for my extra set of Stealth limbs.  I don't have it yet but knowing Wes's work it will be a work of art.

I got a GroPro3 Black from the wife for Christmas. I'm still figuring out how to use it but it's tiny and has a remote control with wifi built in. It also works with my Droid so I can see and change settings better than the digital readout on the camera. That's a really big deal with these old eyes. The other thing I like is the wide area it covers. I'll be trying it out soon on a hog hunt.

Now I'm working on a way to mount it to my bow...

Was light on outdoor goodies at Christmas, but that was because around Thanksgiving Santa bought himself a new 4WD Toyota Tacoma pickup.  The wife said it would need to count for the major portion of Christmas, and I ain't complaining. I did get a book on outdoor survival that can have some relation to hunting. (I sure hope all that good info falls into the "be prepared" category and not the "my life depends on this stuff" category).

Santa brought me a new deer 3D target as my others were worn and patched to death.

I drilled holes into two sections of 4x4 I had and drove in the leg rebar to keep the target portable. I am going to "try" to put the target in the garage after I shoot to extend the life. This is also my first Rhinehart so I hope it holds up better.

Well, Santa got himself Charlie Lambs book A Bowhunters Tales, Jay Campbell's book Longbow, and thanks to Big Jim's generosity of no shipping week I got a Big Shot Crossover glove.  Took some gettin used to but I really like that glove now; Big Jim was right!  Also both books are tremendous!  Halfway thru both of them.
