Title: Archery/hunting products you can't get enough of?
Post by: Kris on July 02, 2013, 08:16:00 PM
What archery/hunting products can you not get enough of i.e. proven performers?

I'll start with three of my favorites:

- Zwickey Judo points

- Smart wool socks

- Screaming Eagle tree stands (Montana)

I'm a bit of a quiver junkie myself.  Binoculars is another one of my weaknesses.  I guess another would be seats/stools.

Broadheads, particularly big ones like Ribteks and VPA 3 blades. Also Hush Puppies and Bow Hush. No other silencers work as well for me.

Love it!  Kindred sprits we are!

I also love knives, arrows, broadheads and especially bows!  I'm actually a BH junkie.  I love to make my own strings...I can't get enough of it!  I like bamboo anything.  I like wool anything.  I like fletching (feathers of course).  I love the smell of broken POC.  For years I always bought Zwickey BH's every time I went to a trad shoot...thinking, "I better get em now, so I have em when I need em!"

Love traditional archery!

Kris

"Arrows...always trying for the next best set-up"

Add to that several bows to tune for and you can end up with several 5 gal. bucks full of arrows! Ask me, I know.

Especially wood arrows. What ya gonna do?

My Silva compass, I often have a spare as well!
 
Several have mentioned parachute cord...couldn't agree more.  

Lined Leather "chopper mittens" in XXL, I use in super cold WI weather from my tree stands..I couldn't do w/o these!  I just slip my hand out at my lap for the shot; they work so well!

Diamond brand Strike Anywhere matches...love em, should have them in every pocket, duffle and fanny pack!

My Colman single burner camp stove...I've had it for 38 years and bought it in Kenai AK.  It works like the day I bought it!

A Red Head brand goose down vest, I've had for 16 years, it is just large enough to fit over a button shirt.  Excellent for cold weather layering and allows for ease of drawing my bow.  Light, warm and dry.
