Backyard Pursuits and Other Stuff
I had a great shoot at the Christian Bowhunters of Georgia 3D Tournament on Saturday. I actually won my class which was a first for me. I have been shooting as a Novice but will now be moving up since I have won that class. My turkey season wound up uneventfully. No bird but I have learned a lot this year. Already looking forward to next season! Now it's time to tune up for my New Mexico mule deer hunt in September and possibly squeeze in a hog hunt in between now and then.
Evan Bungum has been making some big changes to our Backyard Pursuits website and it's looking pretty sweet. We've got some slick new graphics and profiles for all the crew. We also have some great new sponsors this year like Norway Fusion Vanes and Rage Broadheads in additions to Natural Camo Facepaint, Hunting Science and Double Take Archery that we've partnered with the last couple years. Double Take and Rage are now owned by the same company so it was a natural fit. Be sure to check the site out at www.backyardpursuit.com and let me know what you think. I'll be posting some archery tips there very soon and I'll keep a link to them on the right side bar here on my blog.
Of all the items introduced at the archery and hunting trade shows earlier this year, I've been most anxious to check out Badlands' new hunting apparel. Knowing the quality of Badlands packs, it's natural to assume any other item developed by this company will be top notch. The line releases in July, but a couple of my blogging buddies were able to get their hands on some early samples to review. Al at the SoCal Bowhunter, is reviewing the Ion pants and Mark at SoleAdventure is giving us his impressions about the Velocity jacket. Both of the early comments seem promising. You can view their articles by clicking on the links.
Online forums have become one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to research just about any topic. These online communities allow rookies and seasoned pros to rub cyber shoulders and trade insight, tips, reviews and good-natured jabs from anywhere in the world. One of my favorite forums is Archery Talk. Along with the great information you can glean from the endless threads, there's also a great classified section where you can score some killer deals on all types of hunting gear. You can also read lots of great articles and blogs like this one from Ted Nugent. A word of warning though: if you're an archer, this site can become almost as addicting as Facebook!
