    Hand gun on.. hip, chest, pack???

    I use a voodoo tactical on my pants belt that is slightly deeper than hip belt on pack, can get to the .40 pretty easy even with pack belt on. Seems to stay put pretty well and can pull it up with the thumb and then grip it as needed. Tried a thigh rig but with my bird legs could not get it...

    How to trick a derr's nose ?

    Im with murdy ^^ Im betting that over 50% of the time, we hunters are getting busted because of mouth breathing and the associated odour de' jour of the last meal or whatever eats were last in there.

    Issues with Archery Advantage

    It usually takes a few days for it to activate and get your validation code back from the provider. At least that's what my experience was anyway. I used UNO on my android last weekend but haven't had a chance to test the site tape out.

    bow sling with a bee stinger stablilizer ?
